I worked on the xbox website whilst I was in Oz, they had a retainer with the agency I worked with. They almost always needed some kind of design doing.
Not sure whether that's what you're after.

OK, retainers are the good thing. so Xbox needs some ongoing design? Cool.

the only way companies need new items daily/weekly is when they have something new to say DAILY. So I think you'd cracked it with how the press will need it.
Other than that, you're looking at retail/online stores where they'll continue to update and add new promotions.
You could look at really large companies or TV stations that will need design/promotion work doing for the various departments or show being released.

I used to work for a company who's main clients were P&G and the Coca Cola Company. They definitely needed design on a weekly basis to promote their shit, launch new shit, promote it again, put up shit in supermarkets etc etc. I didn't stay there very long...

don't take it too seriously, TM. this shit is everywhere. you just have experienced it with one of the most profitable companies in the world. it's ugly, but your boss was surely happy to have them as clients.
oh, and on in-house teams — depends on the structure. P&G don't have anyone in-house (or do not rely heavily on them, in that respect). and they still make huge money. I am the in-house team, and the company actually loses money on me...
so
