Logan Forsyth on the Sub-Account Strategy, AI-Powered Teams and Reaching 5 Billion Views

Logan Forsyth is co-founder of Media Scaling, which has generated more than five billion views, helped clients gain more than 24 million followers and built a remote team of more than 100 people in under two years. In this episode of Your Brand Amplified, he talks with Anika Jackson about high-volume short-form content, running a company with AI and why vanity metrics mislead. His core point: "Your results will never outgrow your identity."

What is the sub-account strategy for short-form video?

It is publishing high volumes of short-form content across a network of accounts instead of one or two main profiles. Logan Forsyth noticed that as platforms shifted from follower-based feeds to algorithm-driven "For You" pages, every post became a new chance at attention, no matter which account posted it.

Media Scaling builds sub-account networks that let clients publish between 1,200 and 3,000 short-form posts per month. The volume sharply lowers cost per thousand views (CPM) and makes organic content a strong alternative to paid ads. Volume is not the whole plan. Each campaign has detailed shot lists, full scripts, batch filming recommendations and platform-specific distribution plans. For consumer brands, the team also builds networks of user-generated content creators and influencers.

How does Media Scaling use AI to run its team?

As a partner, not a side tool. ChatGPT is central to Media Scaling's strategy, scripting, operations and client service. Team members are expected to try solving problems with AI before asking colleagues, which builds independence and speed. The company is also exploring AI-generated video avatars and synthetic content while keeping to each brand's voice.

Managing more than 100 people across 26 countries takes a clear system. Logan Forsyth manages by outcomes: results delivered, not hours worked, backed by thorough onboarding, automated workflows and clear performance metrics.

Why should brands ignore vanity metrics?

Because likes, views and follower counts that don't produce business results don't help the business. Logan Forsyth warns against buying followers or engagement, which can hurt performance with platform algorithms. His advice for creators and brands:

• Post consistently.
• Film in large batches, often 60 or more videos in one session.
• Outsource editing and posting as early as possible to keep speed and focus.

Key takeaways

• On algorithm-driven feeds, every post is a fresh shot at reach, regardless of account size.
• Publishing 1,200 to 3,000 posts a month across sub-accounts lowers CPM.
• An AI-first problem-solving habit speeds up a large remote team.
• Manage by results delivered, not hours worked.
• Growth follows identity: values, voice and mission come first.
