Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Love is compromise.
00:00:30Learning to balance the wants and needs of another person.
00:00:36Love is commitment.
00:00:39The hard work of two people coming together to make something beautiful that will last forever.
00:00:46Love is over for Charlie Cooper, founder and CEO of popular dating app Evermore,
00:00:52whose former long-term boyfriend has published a post-breakup op-ed titled,
00:00:56I Dated the Queen of Online Dating. Evermore's stock prices are plummeting as users delete their accounts left and right.
00:01:03The app's user count has dropped by nearly 40% since the piece hit the presses.
00:01:07Evermore, Charlie Cooper's office.
00:01:17We won't be commenting at this time.
00:01:20Evermore, Charlie Cooper's office.
00:01:26Miss Cooper won't be doing any interviews, or tell-alls, or features, or exposés.
00:01:36You know what? I'm just gonna put this on silent.
00:01:39Robbie not helping with the headache.
00:01:41Oh, this is a nightmare.
00:01:45Why don't you go get some fresh air? Clear your head.
00:01:52I have to figure out a game plan.
00:01:55How about a coffee on me?
00:01:57You know I'm easily swayed by the prospect of caffeine.
00:02:00Deal. Keep cutting them off, Dominic. You're doing great.
00:02:04You're doing great.
00:02:05No comments, my middle name.
00:02:15How you holding up?
00:02:17Um, yeah, I mean I've been better. Every tech news outlet in Seattle is good.
00:02:21No.
00:02:22I mean, how are you doing? With a breakup?
00:02:26You know, I am completely over him.
00:02:29You sure?
00:02:30Yes.
00:02:31You know, once you're past something, then you can see all the bad things that you're blind to in the moment?
00:02:36You're describing every relationship I've ever been in.
00:02:38So you get it?
00:02:39Yeah, it was just so weird when Kyle was ending things with me.
00:02:43He said he never got the chance to know the real me.
00:02:45Ugh, well, if you ever want to drown your sorrows in ice cream, or watch Dirty dancing on repeat,
00:02:52or burn his stuff in a bonfire, I'm your girl.
00:02:55Well, I do love a good movie musical, but I have bigger fish to fry.
00:03:01Right. Dying Company does take precedence over my perfectly curated playlist, I suppose.
00:03:07Evermore isn't dying. We are in a, um, a transformative period.
00:03:12Oh, and what are we transforming into?
00:03:16I don't know yet.
00:03:21I am supposed to be a love expert, and now everyone thinks I'm a total fraud.
00:03:25Don't worry, this will all blow over. People have gotten past way worse scandals.
00:03:29Now with this kind of timing, if we don't get out of this PR nightmare,
00:03:33everything we've invested in this new app feature will have been for nothing.
00:03:36This new app feature that you need to pitch to the board in four minutes?
00:03:39If there's anything you can think of to end this deluge, I am all ears.
00:03:46I can ward off journalists all day, but this amount of bad press is way too much for me to handle alone.
00:03:51Back up! No comment. When we have a comment, we will have a comment.
00:03:56Now let a lady enjoy her latte in peace.
00:03:58Musical prayer! Musical prayer!
00:04:01Can you draft a press release?
00:04:03Only if you want the media to pick apart every word you say.
00:04:05Maybe I'll start a new life. Move to France. Change my name.
00:04:09What do you think of Cosette or Winona?
00:04:12They sound like characters out of a romance novel.
00:04:14What about Indigo?
00:04:15No.
00:04:17Okay, time to walk the plank.
00:04:19And I didn't even get a chance to choose my last meal.
00:04:23Here you go.
00:04:24Keep it. I definitely don't need any more caffeine.
00:04:27Am I sweaty? Do I look sweaty? I feel sweaty.
00:04:29You look great. You are great. The new feature is great. Go kill it.
00:04:35Okay.
00:04:42Maybe a little sweaty.
00:04:43Hello, everyone.
00:04:58Bob, love the tie, as always.
00:05:01Thank you all for taking the time to meet me today.
00:05:08I know that Evermore is in an interesting spot right now.
00:05:13But I am very excited to present-
00:05:15Ms. Cooper, shouldn't we discuss this media tension?
00:05:19Absolutely. And I definitely will get to that.
00:05:22But we don't want to let one or two negative pieces cloud what the team has worked so hard on for the last several months.
00:05:30So, without further ado, allow me to introduce...
00:05:37Been there all along.
00:05:40Dominic?
00:05:42We've all pondered what could have been with a missed connection.
00:05:47An old friend you lost touch with.
00:05:50A random electrician who was undeniably handsome.
00:05:54Now, Evermore users can find out for themselves.
00:05:57BTAA will sync your contacts with people who have profiles on Evermore to find out if your perfect match is someone you already know.
00:06:05Whether that's a friend you didn't realize you were a match for, or a missed connection you had only met once.
00:06:12We have just started launching our beta for internal testing.
00:06:15Ms. Cooper, we can't even think about adding features right now when the future of the app is at stake.
00:06:23But we can't let bad press prevent us from making progress.
00:06:27Been there all along could turn things around.
00:06:30Infamy doesn't drive sales.
00:06:32No. But tenacity does.
00:06:34This company is not going to bury its head in the sand and stand by while everything we've worked for washes out from underneath us.
00:06:43I have always been able to make everything work.
00:06:46When bots invaded the app, I killed them.
00:06:50When Tech Expo wouldn't give us the time of day, I started our own conference and that is what put us on the map.
00:06:55And I will find a way to fix this too.
00:07:01Your track record has bought you some time.
00:07:05But this is your one and only chance, Ms. Cooper.
00:07:09Otherwise, consider our shares pulled.
00:07:15You won't regret this.
00:07:18Meeting adjourned.
00:07:25거의 11,000 years.
00:07:26Hayden 2
00:07:48Well, that was awkward.
00:07:50Maeve?
00:07:51I can't believe the board doesn't see a point in releasing the feature right now.
00:07:53But if I can't get the dev team on board, then there's no feature to launch.
00:07:56Okay.
00:08:00Okay, okay.
00:08:05What if we bring in a marketing consultant?
00:08:07Someone to give us a little outside perspective.
00:08:10I know just the right person to give Evermore a rebrand.
00:08:13Great! Give him a call, but don't commit to anything.
00:08:15We've already put a ton of money into this feature.
00:08:17And with stock prices falling, I'm trying not to lay people off
00:08:20and use up all our extra resources on one outside hire.
00:08:22One meeting, no commitment. I promise.
00:08:26I can make some room on the calendar.
00:08:27Thanks, you guys.
00:08:28Trust me, one meeting is all you need to get the full Liam Hyatt experience.
00:08:32He's an expert at big branding overhauls.
00:08:52Liam!
00:08:55May Minkle!
00:08:56Hi, my favorite person.
00:08:58Oh, it's so good to see you. How are you?
00:08:59Better now. Welcome to Evermore.
00:09:01We are so glad you can make it.
00:09:03How was the flight?
00:09:04Oh, it was great.
00:09:05You know, I do so many of these cross-country gigs, it's like, I barely feel it anymore.
00:09:09I slept like a baby.
00:09:10Nice.
00:09:10Well, let me show you to the courtyard. Charlie's waiting for us outside.
00:09:13Either way.
00:09:14Either way.
00:09:18Hey, Charlie.
00:09:25Liam, meet Charlie Cooper, Evermore's CEO.
00:09:28Lovely to meet you, Charlie.
00:09:29Likewise.
00:09:31So I hear Evermore's dying.
00:09:32Not dying, um, uh, ripe for, what did you call it?
00:09:38Transformation.
00:09:39Transformation.
00:09:40We need a marketing campaign that will take the focus off the breakup and back onto Evermore in time to launch our new feature.
00:09:45So I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us.
00:09:48I like your directness, Miss Cooper. Even if I don't believe in dating apps, you know.
00:09:54Excuse me, you don't believe in dating apps? Are you even from this century?
00:09:58Yes, I think so.
00:09:59Did you tell him what company he's pitching for?
00:10:01She did.
00:10:02Look, just because I think true love is more than shallow facts and some selfies doesn't mean I can't save a sinking ship.
00:10:08No, we are not sinking.
00:10:10Charlie, Liam has had plenty of successful campaigns with other companies that he didn't always agree with their philosophies.
00:10:18Oh, really?
00:10:19And what part of Evermore's philosophy do you disagree with?
00:10:22Well, uh, my parents found love at first sight in their middle school ceramics class.
00:10:27I've never fought a day in my life and are still as in love as ever.
00:10:30I mean, it might sound cheesy, but I want that same sort of magical movie moment love, and you can't get that from an app.
00:10:36Well, maybe you didn't give it enough of a try.
00:10:38Well, I think when you know, you know.
00:10:40Well, my parents got divorced after only a couple years of marriage.
00:10:42I don't even remember a time when they were together, and they didn't even try and make it work.
00:10:46Okay, is this couples therapy or a business meeting?
00:10:50Can we get to the pitch?
00:10:52Yes.
00:10:53Fine.
00:10:54Happy to.
00:10:57Right now, the media and the market want something big from Evermore.
00:11:00Commercial shoots, immersive marketing, billboards.
00:11:03They know that Evermore will do anything to get the spotlight off of the op-ed and back on the brand.
00:11:07Everyone is expecting a pivot.
00:11:09Oh, great.
00:11:10But I've built a career on doing the unexpected.
00:11:13Instead of pretending the op-ed didn't happen and sweeping the negative press under the rug,
00:11:17I propose that we give the public not what they expect, but what they want.
00:11:21You.
00:11:23Me?
00:11:24We'll have you use the new Been There All Along feature to publicize your journey in finding love again.
00:11:29What better way to prove that Evermore can work for everyone than its CEO using it to get back on her feet?
00:11:34You'll vlog the whole dating process, from swiping to getting ready videos to date recaps in order to build organic marketing material,
00:11:41which we'll use not only in traditional ad campaigns, but also on the brand's social media.
00:11:45This way will prove not only that Evermore is for everyone, but that the new feature works like a charm.
00:11:52Our feature launch will be baked into the rebranding campaign.
00:11:55Hmm.
00:11:56It feels like you're not just doing this for the money.
00:11:58It's a personal challenge.
00:12:00I like to turn the impossible into a success.
00:12:05Absolutely not.
00:12:08What?
00:12:09The public already hates me, and seeing me get back on the dating train this quickly
00:12:13will only make them come at me with pitchforks.
00:12:15I'm a very private person.
00:12:16I don't even like doing the scripted promo videos.
00:12:19Well, you were a private person.
00:12:22Not anymore.
00:12:25No.
00:12:26My company is at stake.
00:12:28And thrusting me into the spotlight will only make things worse.
00:12:31I can't risk the future of Evermore on one ad campaign.
00:12:34Look, you're already in the spotlight.
00:12:37Like it or not, the only way around this sea of bad publicity is through it.
00:12:43Trust me, you've got to lean in.
00:12:45I'm grateful that you made the trip all the way out here.
00:12:54I trust Maeve's opinion, and you're clearly very successful.
00:12:57But I know my company best, and this isn't the right path forward, so thank you very much.
00:13:01Let's just hold on a second.
00:13:02Maybe in the future, we'll work together.
00:13:04But this is something I'll have to fix on my own.
00:13:07Maeve will show you out. Have a great day.
00:13:10Charlie, wait.
00:13:15Sorry about that.
00:13:16No, nothing to be sorry about.
00:13:19You win some, you lose some.
00:13:21Would have been great, though.
00:13:26Can we change the campaign and still make it work?
00:13:28I'll be in it instead.
00:13:30Evermore for everyone can work for PLC, too.
00:13:32No, Evermore doesn't have a diversity problem.
00:13:34It has a Charlie problem.
00:13:35If she won't be in the campaign, we don't have her.
00:13:37Is there anything you can think of?
00:13:40Maeve, I know that you think that I can save this place.
00:13:43And I am flattered.
00:13:44I think I can, too.
00:13:45But I get hired for my big ideas because they work.
00:13:48I really want to do this gig.
00:13:50I think it could be big for all of us.
00:13:51But I can't sacrifice my own brand for Evermore's.
00:13:54Sorry.
00:14:07I can't believe Maeve thought that guy was a good fit for Evermore.
00:14:13His resume is pretty impressive.
00:14:18I did some live cyberstalking.
00:14:20He rebranded a huge fast food chain and turned dozens of smaller companies from scandals.
00:14:24Yeah, but our company isn't like other companies.
00:14:27That campaign would completely destroy our brand.
00:14:29I don't want to speak out of turn, but isn't that what we brought him here for?
00:14:35An outside perspective?
00:14:38It doesn't matter.
00:14:39We're not doing the campaign.
00:14:40End of story.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:44Why don't you start researching new consultants while I continue to brainstorm?
00:14:47Will do.
00:14:48Okay.
00:15:08Yeah, okay. That's pretty good.
00:15:18What are you still doing here? I sent you home like two hours ago.
00:15:47I could ask you the same question.
00:15:49I was waiting to see when you were going to go home.
00:15:52I'm not going home until I have a plan that will save the company.
00:15:55My two best ideas so far are
00:15:58handcuffing two potential matches together for 24 hours
00:16:03or putting two potential matches on a Ferris wheel and stopping it at the top.
00:16:08I think those are the plot lines from 90s sitcoms.
00:16:11And they're terrible ideas.
00:16:13You're right.
00:16:14I'm going to go home.
00:16:17And so should you.
00:16:19You're not going to come up with anything running on fumes.
00:16:23Charlie?
00:16:25I'm not going home.
00:16:27All right.
00:16:29Have a good night.
00:16:30Good night.
00:16:31Charlie?
00:16:48What are you still doing up?
00:16:50I'm still at the office.
00:16:52I've been brainstorming.
00:16:54Good.
00:16:55What did you come up with?
00:16:56I, uh, well, nothing.
00:16:59Oh?
00:17:01I think I might have been a little close-minded with Liam.
00:17:05He does seem to have the experience we are looking for.
00:17:09So you'll do the campaign?
00:17:11I'm not saying that.
00:17:12But I did shut him down pretty quickly.
00:17:15And he deserves a chance to explain his reasoning.
00:17:19How long is he in town for?
00:17:22Oh, he leaves tomorrow afternoon.
00:17:24Great.
00:17:25Then you can meet at my place tomorrow morning.
00:17:269am.
00:17:28Yep.
00:17:30Sounds good.
00:17:31We'll be there.
00:17:33Thanks, Maeve.
00:17:34Have a good night.
00:17:35Hey, Mitch. How's it going?
00:17:56Always a good day when I can bring a new gig to my best client.
00:18:00What do you got?
00:18:01Another day, another company in need of a rebrand.
00:18:04Yeah.
00:18:05This one's back in New York.
00:18:06Big toy company going through a massive recall.
00:18:09Oof.
00:18:10Yeah, tell me about it.
00:18:11Are you in?
00:18:12Isn't there anything out there that's a little more exciting?
00:18:14I mean, something to put me back on the map.
00:18:16I'm getting kind of bored with these smaller gigs.
00:18:18It just feels like the same thing over and over again.
00:18:20I thought this app company was going to be some big trendy campaign.
00:18:24You told me it had viral written all over.
00:18:26Yeah, well, it's ending a little sooner than I thought.
00:18:29We can always get you a full-time job with one of these companies.
00:18:32I'm sure they'd all love to have you.
00:18:34No, no. Freelance is freedom.
00:18:36Committing to one company means one stock dip and you're done for.
00:18:40No amount of corporate perks will change my mind on that.
00:18:43Promise me you'll never settle down.
00:18:45I've seen so many talented men like yourself end their careers with a white picket fence dream.
00:18:50And you're just too good to lose.
00:18:51Well, I haven't been on a second date in ages, so I think we're safe. Plus, I like the travel. Every day is something new.
00:18:58What's the rate on the toy gig?
00:19:01Standard compensation plus 10% for your favorite agent.
00:19:04Yeah, sure. Take it.
00:19:05Amazing. This is why you're the best. I'll start negotiating to see if we can squeeze a little more dough out of them.
00:19:12Thanks, bud. Keep an eye out for the contract.
00:19:15I gotta go. Someone's calling on the other line.
00:19:17Bye!
00:19:19Maeve, what's up?
00:19:22I know it's not the ideal time to plan for a meeting, but Charlie wants to talk to you again.
00:19:27Really? Charlie didn't seem to want my help. She didn't seem to want anyone's help.
00:19:31Charlie's been in her office for 12 hours trying to come up with a new solution.
00:19:35You're not really selling me on her.
00:19:37I don't want to do this campaign as much as you. I think it could be really huge, but I have a dozen other potential clients that are less of a headache.
00:19:42Evermore's Charlie's baby. She gets a bit defensive. She did admit that she didn't give you enough of a chance.
00:19:51Fine. I'll give her one more try to convince Charlie about this campaign, but I am not budging on the idea.
00:19:59What time do you want me at Evermore on Monday?
00:20:01Oh, this can't wait till Monday. Charlie wants us at her house first thing in the morning.
00:20:05What?
00:20:07Well, if you convince her, you stay. And if not, then you'll still make it for a lovely pre-flight lunch.
00:20:12You're killing me.
00:20:14You know you love it.
00:20:16Good night.
00:20:17Have a good night. You tomorrow.
00:20:22Yes.
00:20:23I'm not a bad day.
00:20:37I'm blind now. I'm not a bad issue. I'm blind now at Newark.
00:20:42Ohh.
00:20:44Sh.
00:20:45Wow jeans I thought she only wore power suits good morning sunshine good
00:21:02morning thank you for meeting me on a Saturday
00:21:05likewise okay you two have fun uh Maeve come in it's a nice place thank you
00:21:24reality TV fun you know I never penned you for reality TV oh come on please leave it on
00:21:38maybe next we'll learn if she meets her dream sheep shearer did you come here to sell yourself
00:21:43or to make fun of me oh okay Charlie I'm not here to try to tell you how to run your company
00:21:53I simply want to help support you and your vision and help evermore get back on its feet
00:21:58I thought you didn't believe in dating apps don't let my personal dating style affect your perception
00:22:04of my ideas and how they can help evermore look I don't care if you use the app or not I just don't
00:22:09think shoving a person the public hates in their faces is going to do us any good especially when
00:22:14that person is me Charlie if you just my company my rules
00:22:17see this I know I have an addiction
00:22:31what's so funny you just proved my point without me having to say anything
00:22:38that is the biggest ad campaign of my career at one point plant a burger was under fire for
00:22:47serving up burgers that were only around 10 percent real beef and what was the other 90 percent
00:22:52chicken turkey filler your basic school lunch mystery me yikes when they hired me to do their
00:22:59rebrand they thought a lot like you pull focus away lean into the healthy options just make
00:23:04everyone forget about the bad press makes sense why would you want anyone to remember your scandal
00:23:10because all press is good press instead of shying away we used exactly what the company was known
00:23:16for and it worked in evermore's case that's you
00:23:21you're you're already in the public eye sure you can recede into the shadows and let all the press die
00:23:31down but then you and evermore both stand to be forgotten or you can give the public more
00:23:37they're gonna come at me with pitchforks it's up to you you can either fizzle out or you can go down
00:23:45fighting

00:25:37perfect weekend
00:25:38guilty pleasure
00:25:40okay hang on
00:25:42what
00:25:42these answers are so generic
00:25:44how do you expect any of these to get you your perfect match
00:25:47that's the beauty of being the creator of the algorithm
00:25:50I know exactly how everything works
00:25:52I'm not being generic
00:25:54I'm finding common ground using common answers
00:25:56do you want common matches
00:25:58my answers might not be the most specific
00:26:01but they're still honest
00:26:03I've always wanted to go to Europe
00:26:05I love a good game night
00:26:06and yes I do eat too much chocolate
00:26:09people like vulnerability
00:26:11the public would enjoy getting to know the real Charlie
00:26:14it might make you more relatable
00:26:15I'm relatable
00:26:17a lot of those answers are relatable to a ton of people
00:26:20totally
00:26:21this is what a profile should really look like
00:26:24now I only downloaded Evermore because Maeve sent me the beta version to learn how it works
00:26:30I built a profile so that I could see what you and all the other users see
00:26:34look I can't market something I don't know anything about
00:26:39plus my profile is completely private
00:26:41I can see other users but they can't see me
00:26:43me thinks the consultant doth protest too much
00:26:48I took building a profile seriously
00:26:50I would want someone to know about my bucket list vacation to the border of Europe and Asia and Istanbul
00:26:56it's a great conversation starter
00:26:58I'm sticking to my guns on this one
00:27:00yeah she tends to do that

00:37:29that you don't have to study for

00:37:32date number two
00:37:37all ready to go
00:37:37for tonight
00:37:38meet
00:37:39Winston
00:37:40we interned together
00:37:41at my first job
00:37:42in tech out of college
00:37:43we got along great
00:37:44just two young nerds
00:37:45with big dreams
00:37:46I wonder where he works
00:37:47now his profile
00:37:48doesn't say
00:37:48and how old are these photos
00:37:50because he looks like
00:37:51a teenager
00:37:51yeah
00:37:51he needs new headshots
00:37:53but that's definitely him
00:37:54we're set for a coffee date
00:37:55tomorrow afternoon
00:37:56well as long as he doesn't
00:37:57run an anti-espresso
00:37:58non-profit
00:37:58which should be in the clear
00:37:59funny
00:38:00yeah I thought so
00:38:01I feel like
00:38:31Charlie?
00:38:35Oh, Winston!
00:38:38It's been too long.
00:38:40So long. It's actually Tony now.
00:38:43Oh, yeah. I hardly didn't recognize you with, um...
00:38:47You just look very different than our intern days.
00:38:50But not in a bad way. Just different.
00:38:53Trust me, I'm not offended. I may have changed my look, but still the same me.
00:38:57Let's take a decaf Americana. Awesome.
00:38:59Wow, decaf. Last time I saw you, you basically took your cold brew in an IV.
00:39:05Yeah, no, it wasn't doing me any favors.
00:39:07Oh, yeah. I totally get it. Anything after a medium, I am up all night.
00:39:12Although it is beneficial when I'm at the office until one in the morning.
00:39:15Yeah, hours like that are the main reason I left my last job.
00:39:19My boss was so cutthroat, he was totally taking advantage of all the young software developers.
00:39:23Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:39:25Just so you know, not all startups are like that. I'm usually the only one there late.
00:39:29I know. I'm sure you treat your employees like actual human beings.
00:39:33I mean, I'd like to think so.
00:39:34Before all this bad press, we were the number one rated tech employers in Seattle.
00:39:39Oh, I know. That's why your next programmer should be none other than me.
00:39:45Look, I was thrilled when you reached out to Reconnect.
00:39:54Well, Winston, um, Tony, I really appreciate that you want to work for me,
00:40:00but, um, with everything going on, we're in a hiring freeze right now.
00:40:05Look, I can bring a ton of experience to Evermore.
00:40:07I can turn this company around in no time.
00:40:10Face it, you need me.
00:40:13And I really appreciate your confidence.
00:40:18Um, can you excuse me?
00:40:20I'm just going to go check on your coffee and maybe grab some more cream.
00:40:23Sure.
00:40:23Yeah, I'll be right back.
00:40:24Yeah.
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:37What happened?
00:40:38It was a disaster.
00:40:39He only came to picture me on how his programming skills could save Evermore.
00:40:42I've been more likely to hire you full-time.
00:40:44No, thanks. Not really my thing.
00:40:46Okay, relax. It was just an example.
00:40:48But, you know, you're really missing out on our insurance options.
00:40:50I'm sure.
00:40:50With his kind of ego, I doubt that he's going to take no for an answer.
00:40:55So we have to find a way out of here.
00:40:57Don't worry. We'll find a way out.
00:40:59How are we going to be away?
00:40:59I don't know. Just...
00:41:00She's coming.
00:41:01Shh.
00:41:02Come on.
00:41:02Get the blanket.
00:41:05Just...
00:41:06Hey, man.
00:41:11You see a girl around here with that yellow dress, shoulder length hair?
00:41:14Yellow dress? Yes!
00:41:15Yeah.
00:41:16Hey, what the heck, man?
00:41:18Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:41:18Oh, I've got all over you.
00:41:21Where?
00:41:22Yeah, so she went that way.
00:41:23All right.
00:41:25Can't miss her. Just all the way.
00:41:29Yep.
00:41:44Did you see his face when I spilled my coffee on him?
00:41:46I totally thought I was busted.
00:41:51You know, I am never going to find a match.
00:41:54The campaign is ruined, my dress is ruined, the company is doomed, and I didn't even get to drink my coffee.
00:41:59Whoa.
00:42:00Okay, let's just slow down and breathe.
00:42:07Okay, now what?
00:42:08Okay, now we enjoy the sweet, sweet goodness of sodium-covered carbs.
00:42:12You know, that lineup was insane.
00:42:15Your campaign really did its job.
00:42:17I'm impressed.
00:42:19Okay, I'm going to get into some comfy pants before we dive into that 10% real beef.
00:42:23So take this, and I'll meet you over there.
00:42:25You got it.
00:42:26You have a lot of cat toys.
00:42:32That's much better.
00:42:38Hitch or ditch.
00:42:39No judgment.
00:42:41It can be fun to fall into the fantasy, but you and I both know these people aren't actually in love.
00:42:46I mean, maybe they are.
00:42:47They get married after knowing each other for like a month.
00:42:50When you know, you know.
00:42:51Okay, there's over 300 episodes of everyone just knowing.
00:42:55Have you ever just known?
00:42:57No.
00:42:58That doesn't mean it will never happen.
00:43:01You know, you're more of a romantic than I thought.
00:43:04Are you sure you don't have some star-crossed lover, a high school sweetheart, or the one that got away?
00:43:09No.
00:43:10No?
00:43:10Not really.
00:43:11I've dated plenty, but it never works out.
00:43:17I don't know.
00:43:18Doubt is easy, especially with my career.
00:43:21I'm always the one to leave town, or always the one to say, sorry, I missed your call.
00:43:26I was on a flight, or sorry, I can't.
00:43:29I'm on the other side of the world right now.
00:43:32There's always a reason to run away, you know, when things aren't perfect.
00:43:39Half the time, I don't even know why I'm running.
00:43:41Well, because it's scary.
00:43:46I mean, I know better than anyone how terrifying it is to show yourself to someone.
00:43:51Because if they see the real you, and choose not to like you, well, it's devastating.
00:43:58But if they never see the real you, and you never really know what they think, well, then
00:44:07you never have to get hurt.
00:44:08You know, we can watch something else if you want.
00:44:15And miss the season finale?
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:16Absolutely not.
00:44:18You don't have to pretend to like it.
00:44:20Well, I'm not pretending.
00:44:22I watch this on every flight.
00:44:24And I want to see if Nikki hitches or dishes Rob.
00:44:26So, watch it.
00:44:28Okay, because I've been waiting all week, and I can't wait.
00:44:30Really?
00:44:30Okay.
00:44:31How would you like Jameson?
00:44:44Why would you like Jameson?
00:44:45I never said you liked Jameson.
00:44:46You said I like Jameson instead of I like Jameson.
00:44:48Oh my gosh, there's Jameson.
00:44:50No, you were like, I like Jameson.
00:44:52How is he ever going to be the rest?
00:44:55Yes, no, yes.
00:44:57No?
00:44:57Yes.
00:44:58You cannot look me in the eye and tell me that Candace and Brian do not have undeniable chemistry
00:45:04in one show.
00:45:04No, this is, no, you can't watch this.
00:45:08It's in a day like.
00:45:18Well, that was quite the finale.
00:45:35Best finale.
00:45:38So, what are we going to do about the campaign?
00:45:42We'll figure it out in the morning.
00:45:45I'm surprised I didn't get more resistance out of you.
00:45:47You're a business workaholic.
00:45:48Hey, dedicated.
00:45:51Now you are.
00:45:54Well, good night, Liam.
00:45:57Good night, Charlie.
00:46:07Come on.
00:46:17Thanks.
00:46:21Got it.
00:46:22You know, maybe it's the algorithm.
00:46:23I'll contact the programming team and see.
00:46:26It's not your algorithm.
00:46:28It's your profile.
00:46:29You said it yourself.
00:46:30You made a pointedly generic profile to attract the most potential matches.
00:46:34My profile is fine.
00:46:35If you built an authentic profile, then you wouldn't need to search for a needle in a haystack.
00:46:40You would match with someone who's right for you.
00:46:42Okay, well, who exactly do you think is right for me?
00:46:45If you don't start going out with people that you're compatible with, this whole campaign
00:46:48will have been for nothing.
00:46:50Okay.
00:46:51You make a point.
00:46:52I'm not looking for a generic guy.
00:46:54I am looking for the right guy.
00:46:56Trust me.
00:46:56You'll still get plenty of matches being you.
00:47:00All right.
00:47:02Bucket list trip.
00:47:05I have everything I need right here in Seattle.
00:47:14Perfect weekend.
00:47:22Celebrating a week of hard work with my Evermore team.
00:47:25Charlie.
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:26Last one.
00:47:28Guilty pleasure.
00:47:31Late nights at the office.
00:47:34Done.
00:47:35Done?
00:47:36Yeah.
00:47:36Seriously?
00:47:37Those are answers that you would give in a job interview, not ones that you would give
00:47:40on a first date.
00:47:41There is no authenticity there, and authenticity sells.
00:47:44Oh, I am aware of that.
00:47:45It was my ex's authentic op-ed that got him his 15 minutes of fame and my company on life
00:47:50support.
00:47:51Look, I just don't want to give any more reason for the press to come after me.
00:47:54If I...
00:47:55If I talk...
00:47:56If I talk about a vacation that I want to go on, then I'm out of touch.
00:47:59If my guilty pleasure is fast food, then I'm promoting unhealthy habits.
00:48:03If you give real answers, people will know that you're a real person, not a robot.
00:48:11They'll like you for you.
00:48:12They'll like you for you.
00:48:15I promise.
00:48:17My work is a big part of my life, so why not feature it?
00:48:26I agree that we need to make my profile more specific.
00:48:29Yes.
00:48:29But if I focus my answers on my career, then the press can't give me any more strife.
00:48:33And I can still find someone who's great.
00:48:34And I can still find someone who's great.
00:48:35Well...
00:48:38Well...
00:48:39Okay.
00:48:40No, you make a good point too.
00:48:42Deal.
00:48:43Deal.
00:48:44Let's find you the tech bro of your dreams.
00:48:48Someone who is as much of a workaholic as I am.
00:48:50Will Tester has an Evermore?
00:48:56Who?
00:48:57Maeve!
00:48:58Come over here.
00:49:00What's up?
00:49:01Will Tester has an Evermore.
00:49:03I updated my profile and he's my top match.
00:49:05No.
00:49:06Way.
00:49:07Who is Will Tester?
00:49:08He's sort of her one that got away.
00:49:10We dated in college for like a hot second and then lost contact after graduation.
00:49:14We would like each other's posts every so often, but I always kind of wondered what might have happened if we stayed in touch.
00:49:19What?
00:49:20He's in tech too?
00:49:21See, this is why BTAA is such a genius feature.
00:49:25Just imagine.
00:49:26Power tech couple reunited by number one dating app's newest feature.
00:49:31I appreciate that in your fantasy headline, Evermore's back on top.
00:49:34Of course it is.
00:49:35Oh, by the way, a leadership meeting in five.
00:49:38Coming?
00:49:39Yeah, wouldn't miss it.
00:49:43Hang on.
00:49:44Wait.
00:49:45I love that you're so excited about Will, but if you dated in college, don't you already know that you're not right for each other?
00:49:51It was college.
00:49:52Plus we're totally two different people now.
00:49:54And we both work in tech, so we'll have a ton of things to talk about.
00:49:57You won't have to worry about any more misunderstandings.
00:49:59I'm matching with them.
00:50:01Moment of truth.
00:50:03Yes!
00:50:04Yay, success!
00:50:05Do you think I should suggest Italian or sushi for our first date?
00:50:08What did he like back in college?
00:50:09Oh, gosh.
00:50:10I barely remember what either of us ate besides frat party snacks.
00:50:13Oh, can you find a restaurant that has an open spot tonight?
00:50:15Somewhere classy, but not overdoing it.
00:50:17No problem.
00:50:18I'm on it.
00:50:19Great, thanks.
00:50:20He's actually really cute, and that was a lie coming from me.
00:50:23Okay, well, don't get ahead of yourself.
00:50:25You should be vlogging this.
00:50:27And they're gone.
00:50:28Nobody cares.
00:50:29Great.
00:50:30Too casual, too formal, too dated.
00:50:40Okay, Will definitely used to work in tech, so he's used to business casual.
00:50:44But I'm not sure if he'd want that or something different.
00:50:46Change it up, you know?
00:50:47Hang on.
00:50:50Instead of worrying about what Will likes, why don't you just worry about what you like?
00:50:53Just be yourself.
00:50:55I don't even know if I know how to do that.
00:50:57In fact, with my ex, I always felt like I was performing this role that I didn't even
00:51:02want to play, just to impress him and his family.
00:51:06And, well, combine that with being thrown into the public eye, I actually don't remember
00:51:12the last time I was myself in front of anyone.
00:51:16That Friday Night Bash seemed pretty Charlie to me.
00:51:19You're never going to let me live that down, are you?
00:51:21See, it's not anything to live down.
00:51:24It's you.
00:51:25The real you.
00:51:26Which Will's going to love.
00:51:28You don't think it's a little sad that I usually choose to spend my weekends alone
00:51:31with my cat watching reality TV?
00:51:33No.
00:51:34Not at all.
00:51:36I respect how much you know yourself.
00:51:38In and out of the office.
00:51:40You are a fiery, determined businesswoman that cares a lot about other people.
00:51:45And you have a few pleasures that you have no reason to feel guilty about because they're
00:51:50charming.
00:51:51You shouldn't have to change those things for someone else.
00:51:56You're so confident about yourself when it comes to Evermore.
00:52:00You should have that same kind of confidence about you, too.
00:52:03Surprisingly, running a company is a lot easier than finding love.
00:52:07You deserve to have high standards in both.
00:52:10You're worth it.
00:52:19Oh.
00:52:20Um.
00:52:21Oh, it's Maeve.
00:52:22She's wondering if we're leaving anytime soon.
00:52:24Oh, yeah.
00:52:25Just tell her that we'll head home 10.
00:52:27Um, Uncle James.
00:52:29Yeah.
00:52:30Cool, cool, cool, cool.
00:52:33Oh, hey, you know, if things go well tonight, you know, we can start brainstorming on additional
00:52:42marketing materials and all that.
00:52:45No time to waste and all that.
00:52:51I want to catch pictures.
00:52:53Hey, Charlie, how you doing in there?
00:52:57Find anything?
00:53:03Is this okay?
00:53:12Wow.
00:53:15I will take that as a yes.
00:53:18Come on, we can get more footage outside.
00:53:20Yeah.
00:53:21Alright.
00:53:24Outside.
00:53:30Okay.
00:53:31Ready?
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33Oh, um, your necklace.
00:53:34What?
00:53:35It's just a little...
00:53:36What?
00:53:37It's just a little cot right here.
00:53:38Oh.
00:53:39Just right here.
00:53:40Oh.
00:53:51We should probably get going.
00:53:53Yeah.
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:55Hey, Liam.
00:53:56It's really finished.
00:53:57I mean, I'm very strong.
00:53:58Can I ask you for something professional?
00:53:59Yes, Charlie, is she coming?
00:54:00Yeah.
00:54:01She's in the parking lot.
00:54:02She didn't want to enter together.
00:54:03Great.
00:54:04Well, looks like our dream boat's nice and early.
00:54:05That's a good sign.
00:54:06Yeah.
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:08There she is.
00:54:09There she is.

00:54:15Oh.
00:54:16Oh.
00:54:17Oh.

00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:20I mean, you're OK.
00:54:21Huh?
00:54:22You're walking back.
00:54:23Yeah.
00:54:24She's in the parking lot.
00:54:25She didn't want to enter together.
00:54:26Great.
00:54:27Well, looks like our dream boat's nice and early.
00:54:28That's a good sign.

01:00:43picnic in the park
01:00:45very romantic
01:00:46yeah as long as i shower myself in bug spray beforehand
01:00:49uh yes a face full of mosquito bites would not be ideal for the vlog clips
01:00:53no
01:00:53though i'm sure you could still make it work
01:00:55hmm i'd rather not find out it sounds itchy
01:00:57oh speaking of the campaign why don't we see if will would be a game to be in a couple clits
01:01:01i mean if things are going well it'd be great to bank some organic content with him
01:01:05you don't think he'll find it weird
01:01:06well i think we want him to find it a little weird
01:01:08i mean if he was too eager to be in it it'd be a total red flag
01:01:11hmm yeah you have a good point
01:01:13oh i have to hop into this deaf meeting but i'll let you know how the date goes
01:01:18wish me luck

01:02:32what do you mean by that
01:02:35oh i've had my fair share of headaches from people like that at my last company
01:02:38oh i mean liam's actually really brilliant

01:04:09i mean he was a little camera shy but he did think it was a pretty good idea
01:04:14sounds like someone else i know

01:07:27rough mave
01:07:28can't you edit around it
01:07:29i mean i can but are we really gonna let charlie introduce someone she has no chemistry with the press is gonna eat her up
01:07:36maybe they were just nervous or camera shy liam i think you're overreacting
01:07:42okay mave uh first of all i watched the film
01:07:46charlie's happy she did what you asked she found a match just let her be
01:07:55okay
01:07:56okay
01:07:57yep that's
01:08:00okay so i've got the caterers booked the banners are on the way and the media is confirmed all we have to do is decorate
01:08:14earth to charlie
01:08:18i feel like something's missing
01:08:20something just doesn't feel right
01:08:23i think we need to go bigger
01:08:27bigger oh okay how
01:08:29what if we did the conference in the park by the pier
01:08:32yes the pier i love it oh my gosh
01:08:35okay i'll get started right away
01:08:37great great thanks mave
01:08:38feeling ready
01:08:48yeah almost actually we just decided to move the press release to the park and i think they're going to love the new feature
01:08:54i mean are you feeling ready about going public with will it's a big commitment
01:08:58oh i know the press is going to love will
01:09:01i meant
01:09:02never mind
01:09:04uh yeah no you two are a total power couple
01:09:08you know uh sure mave could pull some strings with their forbes contact and
01:09:12get you two a cover spread and oh um let's not get ahead of ourselves the app is still in beta
01:09:18the registry sounds like a great app
01:09:20oh plus it's a perfect evermore integration it could be a great way to redirect users from both platforms
01:09:25yes will actually has a really innovative structure for the deaf team and i'm just so
01:09:29charlie do you even like this guy
01:09:33or do you just see him as the other half of a potential power couple
01:09:36of course i like him what are you talking about
01:09:40well let's go to the videotape charlie you two could talk shop all day long but you have
01:09:47no chemistry outside work
01:09:49we just started dating takes a long time for two people to get to know each other
01:09:53that's not what this is no all i see is you changing yourself for someone else again
01:09:58pretending to like raw vegan food and sunrise hikes just to make this work i mean
01:10:03you are not taking any of this seriously i take this company very seriously there it is yes yes
01:10:08you take this company seriously not you not your own heart no you you need will for the campaign
01:10:18you picked him to save the company but not for your own happiness
01:10:25you don't even know what you're talking about this disrespects everything that we have been working
01:10:29for and even worse it disrespects you so now i disrespect myself real nice
01:10:43we're making the same mistake that led to your last breakup so now you're just some relationship
01:10:47expert you don't know the first thing about love you just expect the perfect moment to fall in your
01:10:51lap and then book it at the first sign of trouble i'm not saying that i'm perfect i'm just offering an
01:10:54outside perspective outside perspective your whole life is an outside perspective because you can't
01:11:00let anyone in and that's why you jump from company to company you can't commit yourself to one job or one
01:11:05person i think i've built a pretty good career for myself off of my so-called lack of commitment
01:11:10you know i'm not listening to someone who's never been in a relationship
01:11:13i've listened to you long enough and i'm done just consider your services rendered
01:11:17oh uh fine congratulations on your newfound love my agent will send over the invoice no need
01:11:29to contact me directly charlie what happened it's fine everything was going so well partners
01:11:38come and go and we have a lot to do to make sure this conference goes off without a hitch we need
01:11:42drama hello good evening for you fresh lilies from the community garden oh wow thank you that is
01:12:08so very sweet of you um lilies are actually really poisonous to cats oh but they'll look great on the
01:12:16porch rebel isn't allowed outside anyway it's fine that's fine there uh speaking of rebel in the bedroom
01:12:27don't worry no allergy attacks tonight thanks um yeah come on in welcome
01:12:38uh that's interesting artwork yeah it's basically a family portrait he's my baby
01:12:48so today was a rough day to say the least well i'm happy to be the one that you want to see after a hard day
01:12:57well what are we watching i'm game for anything if anyone can open my eyes to the magic of reality
01:13:08television i'm sure it's you well i'm flattered okay let's see what's on oh hit your ditch
01:13:14so do you want to order something to eat oh yeah sure um we actually just partnered with this really
01:13:25cool raw fusion place i recommend the patchouli burger now just so you know it's not a traditional
01:13:31hamburger the bun is somewhere between falafel and bao and the patty itself oh it's a portobello
01:13:37artichoke mixture and you know for condiments they have this gluten-free hoisin sauce and this daikon
01:13:42relish is just simple okay i can't do this what do you mean i can't pretend to like raw fusion food
01:13:48for the rest of my life and i can't keep my cat locked in my bedroom every time you come over and
01:13:52i can't change everything about myself just to be with another person we have to have something in
01:13:57common i mean i thought we did the dates have been going well yeah when we talk about work can you think
01:14:05of a single other topic we've connected on like i have changed myself to fit another person's mold for
01:14:12years and i can't anymore i i won't do it anymore even if that means my relationship and evermore are doomed
01:14:23i have to choose my self-worth first and you should too you might be right i mean
01:14:30besides talking about our career ambitions we don't really have a lot to talk about you deserve
01:14:36someone who loves raw fusion food and you deserve someone who'll binge watch reality tv with you till
01:14:41the cows come home till the vegan beef substitute comes home very alternative of you yes i'm trying
01:14:52you know maybe someday we'll make great business partners but when it comes to love there's not a match
01:14:58but hey if you ever have an app idea you want to partner on i better be the first person you call
01:15:04likewise well oh it's the cat hair yeah well you take care you too

01:17:08i've prided myself on maintaining my integrity in my business deals and my personal life should be no different
01:17:14my dignity is more important than finding a match and even more important than saving evermore
01:17:24sorry charlie we'll call off the press conference
01:17:28actually don't why you don't have a match to present and you'll have nothing
01:17:36to talk about i have an idea don't cancel anything and don't tell anyone

01:21:14thank you
01:21:14hello everyone and thank you all for attending this conference i know you're all probably expecting
01:21:30me to present my perfect match some triumphant victory to show you that evermore can work for
01:21:37everyone but it can't this is the end
01:21:45what are you doing looking for a new job we're doomed
01:21:50at the beginning of my personal evermore journey i thought i knew love but i didn't
01:21:56i knew how to make someone else happy
01:21:58and how to change myself to make another person love me but that is not love online dating requires
01:22:07more vulnerability than i ever knew
01:22:13to find your perfect match you have to show others who you truly are not the work you not the generic you
01:22:20and not the promise of what you could be and no app not even evermore can help you find love if you
01:22:29aren't willing to open up and to that end i think it's time i show all of you who i really am
01:22:36not charlie cooper ceo just charlie
01:22:40to be honest i would rather watch grass grow than to go on a sunrise hike
01:22:48i would rather watch paint dry than talk about finance and i would much rather have a concussion
01:22:54than to sit through an entire football game
01:22:58genius pure genius
01:23:04what's my real bucket list vacation
01:23:06anywhere i could take my cat on a walk without getting strange looks
01:23:12what does my perfect weekend look like
01:23:15sitting at home in my pjs watching terrible trash reality tv
01:23:19my real guilty pleasure a big greasy burger that's probably less than 10 percent real beef
01:23:28i didn't find my true match on evermore because there was a flaw in the algorithm or design
01:23:33it was a flaw within myself
01:23:36one that i'm working on
01:23:38you got this
01:23:43hey hey mr hyatt you about to head to the airport actually i'm not going to new york
01:23:51what do you mean i'll cancel the gig i'm not done here in seattle
01:23:55uh if they're keeping you more days they need to pay you for more days do i need to call their lawyer
01:24:00no no it's not the deal it's it's personal oh god liam is this because of some girl she's not just some
01:24:07girl man hi i have spent my whole life running and now i've finally found someone worth staying for
01:24:15you're not going to become the mogul we know you can be if you're stuck in one place no no mitch i'm not
01:24:21stuck before this man i couldn't see it i have never been open to a real deep connection before and
01:24:27yeah staying here in seattle might be the biggest risk of my career of my life i've never been more
01:24:34sure about anything think this through oh i have bye mitch
01:24:41now i am pleased to announce our new feature that we are introducing to evermore and i am going to
01:24:50use my own authentic profile to do so as you've read in the press brief we are launching our new
01:24:57feature been there all along now evermore will be able to match me the real me with the most
01:25:05compatible person in my contacts once i hit save liam i thought his account was private it was
01:25:24hi charlie
01:25:35what are you doing here i'm committing i have been running from gig to gig and person to person
01:25:46for years and you helped me realize that i was just doing that because it was easy and i was scared
01:25:52i'm not running anymore
01:25:56but your job my job is a part of my life part of my life that i love very much
01:26:01there is something someone that i care about even more and she is more important than any ad campaign
01:26:14i think this is all i need to prove that my algorithm works
01:26:18really i always wanted you to be my perfect match
01:26:21really always even when i said that i didn't do dating apps or when i said that your company was
01:26:27dying or you fired me okay maybe not always always
