Everyone has their winter holiday tentpole moments. For some, it’s seeing the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting, or watching A Christmas Story or the return of a memorable TV commercial.

By definition, Intuit’s SMB MediaLabs is an example of a corporation using its audience to start a media company.
