No paid ads. No cold outreach. That is how Oyinkro Kagbala has worked with more than 100 brands and built a six-figure agency on content alone. The bet behind it: the marketing you do today buys the opportunities you get tomorrow.
In this episode of Business Engine, Arthur sits down with Oyinkro Kagbala, founder of the go-to-market video agency K.OS Visuals, which he started in 2020 and has grown to a team of seven working with B2B and SaaS companies. Oyinkro's whole argument is that brand is the biggest growth lever a business has, and that most owners cut it the moment money gets tight, which is the exact moment they need it most. They get into the 5% of turnover rule for marketing spend, the three jobs your content has to do across the funnel and the warm way to turn a profile view or a comment into a conversation instead of a cold pitch. Oyinkro also breaks down how he decides who is actually worth reaching out to, so marketing stops being the line item nobody can measure.
If you've ever put money into content that got a few hundred likes and then died, or felt the quiet resistance that says marketing is a nice to have you can't really measure, this one is for you.
