>>90746838>>either fire/sell stars or rebrand them into non-idols-Eh, Tanigo would sacrifice Soda for his beloved homos, regardless of shareholders. Look at how long those loss-leaders have been on the roster.
>>Hire for EN5 and EN6, focus on finding smaller creators. They have more drive.Shareholders only see 3 successive hiring drives failing to approach, let alone surpass the success of the first. It's not subs or ccvs, because streaming isn't the breadwinner: it's been merch.The call may thus be to focus on what's already capitalized and diversify the revenue from the existing IP stable. Diversification hinges on IP-recognition, and EN01 --regardless of ccv-- is more recognizable. That's why Ame has to stay officially listed, while Fauna can fuck off.
>>Remove unnecessary middlemen. Only have branch manager and like 5-10 managers for talents. Make sure they understand western work values or just hire NA managers.-Maybe, but the root cause of difficulty isn't down at talent-management level. It's from higher up, where IP plans, revenue diversification, and marketing are decided. The MBA's in those departments know almost nothing about vtubing.
>weekly branch-wide collabsGood luck with the Goober.
>build a 3d studio in like texas or some shit instead of making them fly to jp.Ame already tried that.
Cover however has to shovel work towards their white-elephant mocap studio to justify its sunk-cost. Can't afford to look like a mistake was made with shareholder money.
>>Cut perm requirements. It's only a jp issue.That's on game-rights holders. Besides...
There's a star pecking order on which talent gets first dibs, on top of game-rights holders wanting superstars pushing their games.
JP superior race.
>>facilitate talent projects instead of outright shutting them down.You're assuming those projects proposals aren't shit. Besides, (excluding the shark,) if an EN talent has a good idea, all it takes is a JP catching wind of it and wanting it for herself, and the EN talent is frozen SOL.
