Listen "How Much Working with Brands Can Suck?"
Episode Synopsis
In this brutally honest episode, Scotty B pulls back the curtain on the business side of cosplay—the brand deals, sponsorships, and “partnership opportunities” that aren’t always what they seem. He exposes how creators are often undervalued, overworked, and treated like disposable marketing tools in exchange for exposure or free merch.Scotty shares personal insights into the fine print of creative collaboration, from unrealistic deadlines to corporate tone-deafness, and how easy it is to lose creative control when money or reputation is on the line.This episode is a must-listen for any creator considering brand partnerships. It’s a wake-up call to protect your time, value your art, and remember that real collaboration uplifts—not exploits—the creator behind the content.Find the Sanctuary on Social:With Co-Host @astravoidcosplay Join Her Twitch Community!
