Ehsan's Analysis
Growth-stage Media companies obsess over MRR growth rate but ignore composition. Net-new vs expansion vs reactivation tells the real story. The healthiest companies I work with get 35%+ of MRR growth from expansion, not new logos. If your expansion revenue is below 20% of total growth, you have a retention problem wearing a growth costume.
