figure out a game plan how about a

coffee on me you know I'm easily swayed

by the prospect of of caffeine

deal keep cutting them off Dominic

you're doing great no comments my middle

[Music]

name how you holding up um yeah I mean

I've been better every Tech news Outlet

in Seattle is no I mean how are you

doing with the

breakup you know I am completely over

him you

yes you know once you're past something

then you can see all the bad things that

you blind to in the moment you're

describing every relationship I've ever

been in so you get it yeah it was just

so weird when Kyle was ending things

with me he said he never got the chance

to know the real me oh well if you ever

want to drown your sorrows in ice cream

or watch Dirty Dancing on repeat or burn

his stuff in a bonfire I'm your girl

well I do love a good movie musical

but I have bigger fish to fry right Dy

company does take precedence over my

perfectly cured playlist I suppose

Evermore isn't dying we are in a um a

transformative period oh and what are we

transforming

into I don't know

yet I am supposed to be a love expert

and now everyone thinks I'm a total

fraud don't worry this will all blow

over people have gotten past way worse

scandals now at this kind of timing if

we don't get out of this PR nightmare

everything we've invested in this new

app Feature will have been for nothing

this new app Feature that you need to

pit to the board in 4

[Music]

minutes if there's anything you can

think of to end this Deluge I am all

ears I can ward off journalists all day

but this amount of bad priz is way too

much for me to handle

alone back up no comment when we have a

comment we will have a comment now let a

lady enjoy her latte and

peace

give you draft a press release only if

you want the media pick apart every word

you say maybe I'll start a new life move

to France change my

name what do you think of cette or

Winona they sound like characters out of

a romance novel what about indigo

no okay time to walk the plank and I

didn't even get a chance to choose my

last

meal here you go keep it I definitely

don't need any more caffeine am I sweaty

do I look sweaty I feel sweaty you look

great you are great the new feature is

great go kill

it

[Music]

okay maybe a little

[Music]

sweaty hello

everyone Bob load the tie as

always thank you all for taking the time

to meet me today I know that Evermore is

in a interesting spot right now but I'm

very excited to present Miss Cooper

shouldn't we discuss this media

attention absolutely and I definitely

will get to that but 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

so without further Ado allow me to

introduce been there all along

Dominic we've all pondered what could

have been with a missed connection an

old friend you lost touch with a random

electrician who was undeniably handsome

now ever more users can find out for

themselves btaa will sync your contacts

with people who have profiles on

Evermore to find out if your perfect

match is someone you already know

whether that's a friend you didn't

realize you're a match for or a

misconnection you had only met once we

have just started launching our beta for

internal testing Miss

Cooper we can't even think about adding

features right now when the when the

future of the app is at stake but we

can't let bad press prevent us from

making progress been there all along

could turn things around infamy doesn't

drive sales no but tenacity

does this 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 I have always been

able to make everything work when Bots

invaded the app I killed them when tech

expo wouldn't give us the time of day I

started our own conference and that is

what put us on the map and I will find a

way to fix this too

your track record is has bought you some

time but this is your one and only

chance M Cooper

otherwise consider our shares pulled

thank

you you won't regret

this meeting ad

jurant

[Music]

well that was awkward Ma I can't believe

the board isn't see a point in releasing

the feature right now but if I can't get

the dev team on board then there's no

future to launch

okay

okay

okay what if you bring in a marketing

consultant someone to give us a little

outside perspective I know just the

right person to give Evermore a Rebrand

great give him a call but don't commit

to anything we've already put a ton of

money into this feature and with stock

prices falling I'm trying not to lay

people off and use up all our extra

resources on one outside Higher One

meeting no commitment I

promise I can make some room on the

calendar thanks you guys trust me one

meeting is all you need to get the full

Liam Hyatt experience he's an expert at

Big branding

[Music]

[Music]

overhauls Liam May hi my favorite person

oh it's so good to see you how are you

better now welcome to Evermore we are so

glad you can make it how was the flight

oh it was great know I do so many of

these cross country G CU it's like I

barely feel it anymore I slept like a

baby nice well let me show you to the

Courtyard Charlie's waiting for us

outside either the

way hey

Charlie Liam meet Charlie Cooper

evermore's CEO of to meet you Charlie

likewise so I hear Evermore is dying not

dying um uh ripe for what did you call

it transformation transformation we need

a marketing campaign that will take the

focus off the breakup and back onto

Evermore in time to launch our new

feature so I look forward to seeing what

you have in store for us I like your

directness Miss Cooper even if I don't

believe in dating apps you excuse me you

don't believe in dating apps are you

even from the century yes I think think

so did you tell him what company he's

pitching for she did look just because I

think true love is more than shallow

facts and some selfies doesn't mean I

can't save a sinking ship no we are not

sinking Charlie Liam has had plenty of

successful campaigns with other

companies that he didn't always agree

with their philosophies oh really how

what part of evermore's philosophy do

you disagree with well uh my parents

found love at first sight in their

middle school Ceramics class they've

never fought a day in my life and are

still as in love as ever I 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 well maybe

you didn't give it enough of a try oh I

think when you know you know well my

parents got divorced after only a couple

years of marriage I don't even remember

a time when they were together and they

didn't even try and make it work okay is

this coupl therapy or a business meeting

can we get to the pitch yes fine happy

too right now the median the the market

want something big from Evermore

commercial shoots immersive marketing

Billboards they know that Evermore will

do anything to get the spotlight off of

the oped and back on the brand everyone

is expecting a pivot oh great but I

built a career on doing the

unexpected instead of pretending the

oped didn't happen and sweeping the

negative press under the rug I propose

that we give the public not what they

expect but what they want

you me we'll have you use the new bind

there all along feature to publicize

your journey and finding love again what

better way to prove that Evermore can

work for everyone than it's CEO using it

to get back on her feet you'll Vlog the

whole dating process from swiping to

getting ready videos to date Recaps in

order to build organic marketing

material which we'll use not only in

traditional ad campaigns but also on the

brand social media this way we'll prove

not only that Evermore is for everyone

but that the new feature works like a

charm our feature launch will be baked

into the rebranding campaign H it feels

like you're not just doing this for the

money

it's a personal challenge I like to turn

the impossible into a

success absolutely

not what the public already hates me and

seeing me get back on the dating train

this quickly will only make them come at

me with pitchforks I'm a very private

person I don't even like doing the

scripted promo videos well you were a

private

person not

anymore no my company is at stake and

thrusting me into the spotlight will

only make things worse I can't risk the

future of Evermore on one ad campaign

look you're already in the

spotlight like it or

not the only way around this sea of bad

publicity is through

it trust me you've got to lean

[Music]

in I'm grateful that you made the trip

all the way out here I trust Ma's

opinion and you're clearly very

successful but I know my company best

and this isn't the right path forward so

thank you very much let's just hold on a

second maybe in the future we'll work

together but this is something I'll have

to fix on my own May will show you out

have a great day Charlie

wait sorry about that no nothing to be

sorry

about you win some you lose some it's

what have been great

though can we change the campaign and

still make a work I'll be in it instead

Evermore for everyone can work for PC

too Evermore doesn't have a diversity

problem it has a Charlie problem if she

won't be in the campaign we don't have

one is there anything you can think of

Nave I know that you think that I can

save this place and I am flattered I

think I can too but I get hired for my

big Ideas because they work I really

want to do this gig I think it could be

big for all of us but I can't sacrifice

my own brand for everm mores

sorry

[Music]

I can't believe May thought that guy was

a good fit for

Evermore his resume is pretty

impressive I did some light

cyberstalking he rebranded a huge fast

chain and turned dozens of smaller

companies from scandals yeah but our

company isn't like other companies that

campaign would completely destroy our

brand I don't want to speak out a turn

but isn't that what we brought him here

for an outside

perspective it doesn't matter we're not

doing the campaign end of

story

okay why don't you start researching new

Consultants while I continue to

brainstorm we'll

[Music]

do

[Music]

okay oh okay that's pretty

[Music]

good no no what why would

[Applause]

I

[Music]

what are you still doing here I sent you

home like 2 hours ago I could ask you

the same question I was waiting to see

when you were going to go home I'm not

going home until I have a plan that will

save the company my two best ideas so

far are

handcuffing two potential matches

together for 24 hours or putting two

potential matches on a ferris wheel and

stopping it at the

top I think those are the plot lines

from '90s sitcoms and they're terrible

ideas all

[Music]

right I'm going to go home and so should

you you're not going to come up with

anything Running on

Fumes

Charlie I'm not going

home all right

have a good night good

[Music]

night Charlie what are you still doing

up I'm still at the office I've been

brainstorming good what did you come up

with I uh well nothing oh I think I

might have been a little close-minded

with Liam he does seem to have the

experience we are looking for so you'll

do the campaign I'm not saying that but

I did shut him down pretty quickly and

he deserves a chance to explain his

reasoning how long is he in town for oh

he leaves tomorrow afternoon great then

you can meet at my place tomorrow

morning 9:00

a.m.

yep sounds good we'll be there thanks ma

have a good

[Music]

night hey Mitch how's it going always a

good day when I can bring a new gig to

my best client what do you got another

day another company in need of a Rebrand

this one's back in New York big toy

company going through a massive

recall yeah tell me about it are you in

isn't there anything out there that's a

little more exciting I mean something to

put me back on the map I'm getting kind

of bored with these smaller gauges just

feels like the same thing over and over

again I thought this app company was

going to be some big trendy campaign you

told me it had viral written all over

yeah well it's ending a little sooner

than I thought we can always get you a

full-time job with one of these

companies I'm sure they'd all love to

have you no no freelance is freedom

committing to one company means one

stock dip and you're done for no amount

of corporate perks will change my mind

on that promise me you'll never settle

down I've seen so many talented men like

yourself end their careers with a white

picket fence dream and you're just too

good to lose well 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

uh what's the rate on the toy gig

standard compensation plus 10% for your

favorite agent yeah sure take it amazing

this is why you're the best I'll uh

start negotiating see if we can squeeze

a little more dough out of them thanks

bud keep an eye out for the contract I

got to go someone's calling on the other

line

bye Dave what's up I know it's not the

ideal time to plan for a meeting but

Charlie wants to talk to you again

really Charlie didn't seem to want my

help she didn't seem to want anyone's

help Charlie's been in her office for 12

hours trying to come up with a new

solution you're not really selling me on

her I 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 's

Charlie's baby she gets a bit

defensive she did admit that she didn't

give you enough of a

chance fine I'll give it one more try to

convince Charlie about this campaign but

I am not budging on the idea thank you

what time do you want me at Evermore on

Monday oh this can't wait till Monday

Charlie wants us at her house first

thing in the morning what well if you

convince her you stay and if not then

you'll still make it for a lovely

pre-flight lunch you're killing me you

know you love

it good night have a good night see you

tomorrow

[Music]

yes

[Music]

but your parents I me they they clearly

don't like

me

[Music]

to they're

early I brought you a

GI wow jeans I thought she only wore

power suits good morning sunshine good

morning thank you for meeting me on a

Saturday

likewise okay you two have fun uh

mave well come

in it's a nice place thank

you now get over it I love you

reality

TV fun you know I never pened you for

reality TV oh come on please leave it on

maybe next we'll learn if she meets her

dream sheep sheer did you come here to

sell yourself or to make fun of me oh

H okay Charlie I'm not here to try to

tell you how to run your company I

simply want to help support you and your

vision and help Evermore get back back

on its feet I thought you didn't believe

in dating apps don't let my personal

dating style affect your perception of

my ideas and how they can help every

more look I don't care if you use the

app or not I just don't think shoving a

person in the public hates in their

faces is going to do us any good

especially when that person is me

Charlie if you just my company my

[Music]

rules

see this I know I have an

addiction what's so funny you just prove

my point without me having to say

anything that is the biggest ad campaign

of my career at one point Planet Burger

was Under Fire for serving up burgers

that were only around 10% real beef and

what was the other 90% chicken turkey

filler your Basic School Lunch mystery

me yikes when when they hired me to do

their Rebrand they thought a lot like

you pull Focus away lean into the

healthy options just make everyone

forget about the bad press makes sense

why would you want anyone to remember

your Scandal because all press is good

press instead of shying away we used

exactly what the company was known for

and it worked in evermore's case that's

you you're you're already in the public

eye sure you can recede into the shadows

and let all the Press die down but then

you and Evermore both stand to be

forgotten or you can give the public

more they're going to come at me with

pitchforks it's up to you you can either

fizzle out or you can go down

fighting I trust Ma and mave trusts you

so okay let's try the

campaign great thank you thank you for

putting your trust in me I promise I

will not let you down or embarrass me or

embarrass you I have a reputation to

uphold or at least I did trust me your

trash TV is our little

secret get out of my house

okay enjoy the rest of your show oh let

me know if the goat lady finds her

perfect match all right have a good

weekend yeah

make sure you have your profile belted

ready for Monday I will okay thank you I

can't believe you just happen to have a

planed Burger wrapper on your table I

knew that campaign worked well I'll be

adding this to your

NDA all right then well see you boss

[Music]

boss Rebel what what have I gotten

myself

[Music]

into all right back to

business see after a back to the east

[Music]

Nebraska step one perfect profile this

is going to be key in landing you some

great matches with BT daa did you get a

chance to make one y d locked and loaded

all right let's take a

look dream vacation perfect weekend

guilty pleasure okay hang on what these

answers are so generic how do you expect

any of these to get you your perfect

match that's the beauty of being the

creator of the algorithm I know exactly

how everything works I'm not being

generic I'm finding common ground using

common answers do you want common m

matches my answers might not be the most

specific but they're still honest I've

always wanted to go to Europe I love a

good game night and yes I do eat too

much

chocolate people like vulnerability the

public would enjoy getting to know the

real Charlie it might make you more

relatable I'm relatable a lot of those

answers are relatable to a ton of people

totally this is what a profile should

really look

like now I only downloaded every because

ma sent me the beta version to learn how

it works I built a profile so that I

could see what you and all the other

users

see look I can't Market something I

don't know anything about plus my

profile is completely private I can see

other users but they can't see

me me thinks the consultant doth protest

too much I took building a profile

seriously I would want someone to know

about my bucket list vacation to the

border of Europe in Asia in istan it's a

great conversation starter I'm sticking

to my guns on this

one yeah she tends to do

that fine fine it's your

profile next up pictures great there's

an album in my

photos care to comment on any of these

big

seot H oh no though photo the photos are

great

great there's about five more albums you

can just scroll down we can look through

all of

them all right you ready to go just need

you to give a quick intro to the feature

and then we'll film you swiping been

there all along is ready I I don't think

I am I I don't know how to be in an ad I

am the furthest thing from an actress

well that's okay we don't need you to be

one honestly it's better that you're not

we want to see the real you some of the

most successful ad campaigns in history

use real people you've got a great

product just be

yourself

okay be

myself all

right we're

rolling hey what's up I'm Charlie and I

own the place okay yep no no no no

that's uh you're not a mob boss you're

just a person just speak from the heart

how can I speak from the heart if I

freeze every time the camera turns on I

just want to make sure I say everything

perfectly so the media can't twist my

words don't think of it like you're

talking to a camera think of it like

you're talking to a friend but I'm not

I'm talking to you we're not friends

colleagues okay fine what would it take

for us to become friends should I tell

you about the time that my date to the

seventh grade formal dumped me on the

Dance Floor flipped through some

embarrassing childhood photos well that

wouldn't hurt just wait until you see me

in my headgear

woof see there she is that's the real

Charlie okay now tell me about the

future like a

[Music]

friend ready when you

were hi I'm Charlie you probably know

that I recently went through a

breakup but I am using evermore's newest

feature been there all along to get back

out

there that's that's perfect

um that was perfect yeah okay now for

the fun part time to

swipe ready when you are okay so at the

top of your screen you can switch from

new faces to ever more users you don't

know and been there all along

oh my gosh Teddy Campbell I went to high

school with him he was our star football

player but the most humble guy you'll

ever meet sounds like a great

candidate here goes

[Music]

nothing it's a

match I'll admit I was a little nervous

to get back out there but now I'm

actually really excited well I'm happy

that you're so excited and look if

everything goes well we can bring Teddy

into being the campaign so now just use

this to record yourself setting up the

date and then upload it to me okay got

it look Evermore might be your baby but

this campaign is mine I just want to

make sure that it is as good as it

possibly can be for both of

us I really appreciate that

all

Liam yeah I'm really looking forward to

that headgear photo I'm putting that in

Word but I I actually don't know how to

can be sporty I just really want to make

a good first impression oh I got to take

this here you go Tom

yeah I'll take it from

here okay so first things first I can't

let you go on this first date without

knowing the proper way to throw a

football okay so here we go okay so you

don't want to throw it like a baseball

not that you know how to throw a

baseball or anything hey um you just

want to make sure that your fingers

Glide over the edges to like give you

that perfect spiral you know like yeah

it a try yeah let's do

it

okay hey that's not bad that wasn't that

bad all right all right here we

go you okay you good I'm never

[Music]

better you know you shouldn't have to

change yourself just to impress this guy

well we all change ourselves a little

bit when you meet someone you try a new

restaurant or an activity you might have

never thought to try okay if you say so

I'm simply being open to a new

experience a new side of Charlie I

didn't even know existed

what what's this team

anyway okay one more

[Music]

time

[Music]

oh my gosh

hi

Hi how are you good good so good to see

you I don't think I saw you at the

reunion no no I couldn't make it h but I

wanted to though it's just so crazy to

see where everyone has ended up but

there's only so much you can find out

over social media very true very true I

do wish I got to know you more in high

school yeah well you were too busy being

Mr quarterback and you were Miss

valorian that much I didn't forget

yeah so you want to throw the old pig

skin around and relive Your Glory

Days sure yeah yeah okay okay you know I

never pegged you for a sports fan I'm a

little shocked to see you so into

football yeah yeah Sports is definitely

a um a a recent

interest but if you're the teddy that I

remember this should be right up your

alley well I'm actually a lot different

now I'm a yoga instructor and I run a

Meditation Retreat oh H yeah after my

football career was over I didn't know

who I was without competition but after

I found peace and love I realized

competition is truly the root of all

evil and Harmony is the only true path

to happiness

oh

I I am so sorry had I known I never

would have suggested any of this it's

okay I know you just got into sports and

I don't want to ruin them for you no

actually I but if you do want to get

your body moving I would be happy to

show you some yoga

poses yeah sure I should warn you though

I can barely touch my toes oh it's a

common misconception yoga isn't about

flexibility it's about marrying movement

with

breath okay yeah right let's start with

a basic Sun salutation all right follow

along raise your hands high above your

head and thank the Sun for the energy it

provides thank you thank you son no

silently release to forward

[Music]

fold and flatten your spine

don't forget to

breathe

hi so sorry to interrupt but I was

wondering if I could join if you have

room who am I to deny someone to flow on

such a beautiful day as long as you're

all right with that Charlie absolutely

great wonderful it's all meeting

downward

dog

um

[Music]

so my date with Teddy wasn't great but

that's part of the fun I've been there

all along people from your past can be

different than you remember and

sometimes in a good

[Music]

way a disaster date is the fun of this

new feature nice pivot quarterback

I was taking your advice lean in why

didn't you just tell Teddy you don't

actually like sports I couldn't just

tell him I lied to him I would look

[Music]

insane like your yoga class was much

better tell me about it I'm still sore

Dom will catch up we need to be more

selective with your matches it was one

date it's one date that we can't use for

the campaign for your next date let's

find you someone that you don't have to

Stell you for I already found someone

and he's

perfect date number two all ready to go

for tonight meet Winston we interned

together at my first job in Tech out of

college we got along great just two

young nerds with Big Dreams I wonder

where he works now his profile doesn't

say and how old are these photos because

he looks like a teenager them yeah he

needs new head shot but that's

definitely him we're set for a coffee

date tomorrow afternoon well as long as

he doesn't run an anti- espresso

nonprofit We should be in the clear

funny yeah I thought

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

Charlie Winston it's been too long hi hi

so long uh it's actually Tony now oh

yeah I hardly didn't recognize you uh

with um you just look very different

than our intern days not in a bad way

just just different trust me I'm not

offended U I may have changed my look

but still the same me let's take a decaf

Americano

awesome well decaf last time I saw you

you basically took your cold brew in an

IV yeah no it uh wasn't doing me any

favors oh yeah I totally get it anything

after a medium I am up all night

although it is beneficial when I'm at

the office until 1: in the morning yeah

hours like that are the main reason I

left my last job um my boss was so

Cutthroat he was totally taking

advantage of all the young software

developers oh I'm sorry to hear that

just so you know not all startups are

like that I'm usually the only one there

late I know I'm I'm sure you treat your

employees like actual human beings I

mean I'd like to think so I mean before

all this bad press we were the number

one rated Tech Employers in Seattle oh I

know that's why your next programmer

should be none other than

[Music]

me look I was thrilled when you reached

out to

reconnect M Winston um Tony I really

appreciate that you want to work for me

but um with everything going on we're in

a hiring freeze right now look I can

bring a ton of experience to Evermore I

can turn this company around in no time

face it you need

me and I I really appreciate your

confidence um can you excuse me I'm just

going to go check on your coffee and

maybe grab some more cream sure yeah

yeah I'll be right back okay

[Music]

what happened it was a disaster he only

came to picture me on how his

programming skills could save Evermore

I've been more likely to hire you

fulltime no thanks not really my thing

okay relax it was just an example but

you're really missing out on our

insurance options I'm

sure with his kind of ego I doubt that

he's going to take no for an answer so

we have to find a way out of here don't

worry we'll find a way out how we going

to away I don't know just she's

coming the

blanket

[Music]

just hey man see a girl around here with

the yellow dress shoulder length there

yellow dress yes I did see hery what the

heck man I'm so

sorry oh got all over you where yeah so

she went that way though all right can't

miss her just all the

way

[Music]

yep did you see his face when I spilled

my coffee on him I totally thought I was

busted you know I am never going to find

a match the campaign is ruined my dress

is is ruined the company is doomed and I

didn't even get to drink my coffee wa

okay let's just slow down and

breathe okay now what okay now we enjoy

the sweet sweet goodness of sodium

covered carbs you know that lineup was

insane your campaign really did its job

I'm

impressed okay I'm going to get into

some comfy pants before we dive into

that 10% real beef so take this yes and

I'll meet you over there you got it

you have a lot of cat

toys that's much better I'm looking for

knows hit your ditch no judgment it can

be fun to fall into the fantasy but you

and I both know these people aren't

actually in love I mean maybe they are

they get married after knowing each

other for like a month when you know you

know okay there's over 300 episodes of

everyone just knowing have you ever just

known no that doesn't mean it'll never

happen you know you're more of a

romantic than I thought are you sure you

don't have some Star Crossed lover a

high school sweetheart or the one that

got away no no not

really I've dated plenty but think it

works out

and I don't know doubt is easy

especially with my

career I'm always the one to leave town

or always the one to say sorry I miss

Rec call I was on a flight or sorry I

can't I'm on the other side of the world

right

now there's always a reason to run away

know when things aren't

perfect half the time I don't even know

why I'm

running cuz it's

scary I mean I know better than anyone

how terrifying it is to show yourself to

someone because if they see the real you

and choose not to like you well

it's

devastating but if they never see the

real you and you never really know what

they

think well then you never have to get

[Music]

hurt you know we can watch something

else if you want and miss the season

finale yeah absolutely not you don't

have to pretend to like it I'm not

pretending I watch this on every

flight and I want to see if Nikki hit or

dishes Rob so watch it okay because I've

been waiting all week and I can't

[Music]

wait how do you like Jameson why would

you like Jameson I never said I like

like Jamon you said I like no I didn't

oh my gosh there's James no you're like

I like J how be

like yes no yes no yes you can you

cannot look me in the eye and tell me

that Candace and Brian do not have

undeniable chemistry with each other no

this is no you can't watch this

[Music]

and

oh they did it they did it they finally

did it that's the Stu that's what I'm so

happy right

now well that was quite the finale best

finale I

seen so what are we going to do about

the

campaign figure it out in the

morning I'm surprised I didn't give my

resistance out of you miss work off hey

dedicated that you

are well good night Liam good night

[Music]

Charlie

[Music]

okay thanks got it you know maybe it's

the algorithm I'll contact the

programming team and see no it's not

it's not your algorithm it's it's your

profile you said it yourself you made a

pointedly generic profile to attract the

most potential matches my profile is

fine if you built an authentic profile

then you wouldn't need to search for a

needle and a hyack you would match with

someone who's right for you okay well

who exactly do you think is right for me

if you don't start going out with people

that you're compatible with this whole

campaign will have been for

nothing okay you make a point I'm not

looking for a generic guy I am looking

for the right guy trust me you'll still

get plenty of matches being

you all

right bucket list

trip I have everything I need right here

in

Seattle perfect

weekend celebrating a week of hard work

with my Evermore team

yeah last one guilty

pleasure late nights at the

office done done yeah seriously those

are answers that you would give in a job

interview not ones that you'd give on a

first date there's no authenticity there

and authenticity sells oh I'm aware of

that it was my ex's authentic opad that

got him his 50 minutes of fame and my

company on life support look I just

don't want to give any more reason for

the press to come after me if I if I

talk about a vacation that I want to go

on then I'm out of touch if my guilty

pleasure is fast food then I'm promoting

unhealthy

habits if you give real answers people

will know that you're a real person not

a

robot they'll like you for

you I

promise my work is a big part of my life

so why not feature it I agree that we

need to make my profile more specific

yes but if I focus my answers on my

career then the Press can't give me any

more strife and I can still find someone

who's

great okay now you make a good point

too deal let's find you the the tech bro

of your dreams someone who is as much of

a workaholic as I

am will tester has an Evermore who ma

come over

here what's up will tester has an

Evermore I updated my profile and he's

my top match no way who is Will tester

he's sort of her One That Got Away we

dated in college for like a hot second

and then lost contact after graduation

we would like each other's posts every

so often but I always kind of wonder

what might have happened if we stayed in

touch what he's in Tech too see this is

why btaa is such a genius feature

just imagine Powertech couple reunited

by number one dating app's newest

feature I appreciate that in your

fantasy headline evermore's back on top

of course it is oh by the way a

leadership meeting in five coming yeah

wouldn't miss

it hang

on I 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 it was College plus we're

totally two different people now and we

both work in Tech so we'll have a ton of

things to talk about you won't have to

worry about any more misunderstandings

I'm matching with them Moment of

Truth yes yay success do you think I

should suggest Italian or sushi for a

first dat what did he like back in

college oh gosh I barely remember what

either of us ate besides frat party

snacks oh can you find a restaurant that

has an open spot tonight somewhere

classy but not overdoing it no problem

I'm on it great thanks he's actually

really cute and that a lot coming from

me okay well don't get head of yourself

you should be vlogging this and they're

gone nobody cares

[Music]

great too casual too

formal too dated okay will definitely

used to work in Tech so he's used to

business casual but I'm not sure if he'd

want that or something different change

it up you know hang

on instead of worrying about what Will

likes why don't you just worry about

what you like just be yourself

I don't even know if I know how to do

that with my ex I always felt like I was

performing this role that I didn't even

want to play just to impress him and his

family and well combine that with being

thrown into the public eye I I actually

don't remember the last time I was

myself in front of

anyone that Friday night bash seemed

pretty Charlie to me you're never going

to let me live that down are you see

it's not it's not anything to live down

it's you

the real you which Will's going to love

you don't think it's a little sad that I

usually choose to spend my weekends

alone with my cat watching reality TV no

not at

all I respect how much you know yourself

in and out of the office you are a fiery

determined businesswoman that cares a

lot about other people and you have a

few Pleasures that you have no reason to

feel guilty about because they're

Charming you shouldn't have to change

those things for someone else thank

you you're so confident about yourself

when it comes to Evermore you should

have that same kind of confidence about

you too surprisingly running a company

is a lot easier than finding love you

deserve to have high standards in both

you're worth

it um oh it's mave she's wondering if

we're leaving anytime soon oh yeah just

tell her that we'll head out in

10 um I'll go change

yeah cool cool cool

cool oh hey you know if uh if things go

well tonight you know we can start

brainstorming on additional marketing

materials and all that no time to waste

and all

that lot of catch pictures hey Charlie

how you doing in in

there find

anything is this

[Music]

thank you so do you I and got us a tap

great thank

you isn't he perfect he was

complimentary prepared was on time yeah

really really

perfect it's been a long time though eh

very long time I don't know when the

last time was that we saw each other

thank you probably just when we finished

school I think well I guess so straight

out of

college it's like no time as fast yeah

you still look exactly the same you

somehow look even better and younger oh

stop how you do it stop cheers to the

app I suppose to the

app so this new Evermore

feature secret ploy to get us to

reconnect no that was a total

coincidence I'm kidding are you sure

you're not totally and completely

freaked out no not at all it's a genius

idea okay

good I always admired your Innovation

even in college oh wow thank you what

about you you worked for like every

major tech company in Seattle so so what

are you up to now I actually just

developed an app of my own my own

startup it's Vestry I'm vegan and the

app helps people kind of with dietary

restrictions find food that they can eat

wow you know your is how I felt about

Evermore I never had any success with

traditional dating apps and so I made my

own and it's great I mean you even got a

total nerd like me to use it well you're

definitely not a total nerd still

sounded like it was pretty nerd heavy

though that emphasis maybe like 91% you

it comes to the territory I

think you didn't I wasn't going to they

really seem to get along I know isn't it

great every

time so our our beta is a little finicky

but we we just hired another lead

developer and so she'll set us back on

track and she's great it's great that

first beta is always so tricky it's bugs

on bugs un bug so oh wow we totally lost

track of time we did thank you no please

let me thank

you that was absolutely delicious oh

yeah thank you so much I couldn't eat

another bite this was a wishful thinking

there

yeah oh thank

you shall we yes myom thanks oh thank

God

H thought you were happy for them they

really hit it off I am happy for them

it's just my

jeans were not the right choice for

pasta dinner I got to go put my night

pants on

now you know I think that's the first

time I've closed down a restaurant since

College hopefully this doesn't sound too

forward but since we didn't run out of

things to talk about in in what 4 hours

yeah it's a long time would you like to

do this again

sometime yeah I would love

to okay well then you're going to have a

calendar invite in your inbox tonight

Charlie SL willll oneon-one oh sound too

formal nope that is the perfect amount

of corporate jargon for me excellent I

wouldn't want anything less oh no no but

remember less is more true I I will have

to you know run it by like a test

audience how it work shop but well this

is me

um good night

um good night good

night yeah drive safe you

too

[Music]

all yes yes that was

[Music]

amazing he's perfect for the

campaign oh my

gosh yes thanks guys see you tomorrow

well looks like we got a

winner good night

[Music]

night well judging by the fact that we

could have binged an entire season of

hitch or ditch during that date I can

assume things went well but I did want

to debrief with you to see how you're

feeling about will well in comparison to

the other two dates will is practically

Prince

Charming he's going to be perfect for

the

campaign great you two really seem to

connect yeah we're meeting again this

afternoon perfect yeah way to keep the

train moving I

just wanted to say thank you for

suggesting that I redo my profile you

were right it's the least I could

do I'm really happy that you found

someone thank

you I mean hey it wasn't all uh just

because of me you know you're the one

who Charmed him yeah you're right you

know I am pretty

Charming but it was you who encouraged

me to be myself if you can't be yourself

then it sets the campaign and your

relationship up for

failure I want what's best for every

more and for

you thank

you so where are you two going on your

next date picnic in the park very

romantic yeah as long as I shower myself

in bug spray beforehand uh yes a face

full of mosquito bites would not be

ideal for the Vlog Clips no though I'm

sure you can still still make it work H

I'd rather not find out it sounds itchy

oh speaking of the campaign why don't we

see if Will would be game to be in a

couple Clips I mean if things are going

well it'd be great to bank some organic

content with him you don't think he'll

find it weird oh I think we want him to

find it a little weird I mean if he was

too eager to be in it it'd be a total

red flag yeah you have a good

point oh I have to hop into the step

meeting but I'll let you know how the

date goes wish me luck you're going to

be great just be you and don't let the

mosquitoes

bite

it's the perfect picnic basket looks

delicious beof beof good that's good how

was your week you know well I've been

pretty cooped up in the office all week

uh work launching this new app Feature

is no joke especially right now oh then

I'm glad we get you outside for a little

vitamin D yeah me

too

oh thank you here go oh this looks

delicious oh yeah got some good options

here oh can I offer you a dehydrated

beet as a pallet

cleanser this might be a weird thing to

ask and feel free to say no but would

you mind if I recorded our picnic mind

if I ask why well uh we are doing a

marketing campaign for been there all

along and my consultant really wants to

feature me in

it I realize that's a lot to ask for our

second date I mean I'm not the best on

camera but sure as long as your

consultant doesn't

mind what do you mean by that well I've

had my fair share of headaches from

people like that at my last company oh I

mean Liam's actually really brilliant

sure his ideas are a little out there

but his innovation has been very helpful

sorry didn't mean to offend no no no no

I I I totally get it but I mean had it

not been for Liam I would have never put

up this profile at all well and and you

and I would have never reconnected oh

cheers to that

then homemade cucha oh sure there we go

lavender for my own garden the scobby is

a you know will secret test your secret

and then there's some Elder flow in

there excellent

cheers yeah before vry I had to cook all

my own food just because my limitations

eating out enough about work I want to

get to know off the clock Charlie well I

am I'm a total home body if I spent the

entire weekend binge watching reality TV

shows with my cat I would consider that

a huge

success I don't even own a

TV I know I know I'm barely from the

century no no no to each of Their Own no

well who knows maybe you could change my

mind about

it that's sweet of you I also have some

candy jackf fruit if you're interested

that's a nutritional

yeast it's

delicious okay date number two all

uploaded and ready to go great and he

was cool with it yeah absolutely I mean

he was a little camera shy but he did

think it was a pretty good idea sounds

like someone else I know yes I did not

think the campaign was a good idea when

you first pitched it oh trust me I

remember

how about now well I don't want to

inflate your

ego but I think it's pretty genius oh

what there it is keep it coming oh I

will be using that in a testimonial yeah

make sure to use your little dance too

oh I will you know I think we should

hold a press conference to release the

new launch so that we can introduce will

as a culmination for the campaign the

feature is ready to go when the clock is

ticking with the board members well

that's a great idea yeah it'll be really

good for the press to see your Chemistry

with Will in person they'll eat it up

I'll have ma get some reporters lined up

great I will get Dominic to print the

materials do you think you can get some

footage together well absolutely start

working on this tonight awesome and I

will also set up another date with Will

so we can build some more content for

postc conference

launch and for you

know

what never mind I I am just talking

about things you care about oh come on

no I care about your romantic escapades

and stuff I mean the fact that they're

keeping me employed you know that helps

see I knew it

seriously I'm really happy that you

found

someone

you you deserve someone who not just

accepts but celebrates the real you you

are

driven steadfast you're smart dare I say

genius

yes genius oh

wow once btaa in the campaign gets

launched it should be smooth sailing not

just for Evermore but for you and well

well I couldn't have done it without you

happy I could be of

[Music]

service

before vry I had to cook all my own food

just because my limitations eating

out I wanted to know off the clock chart

oh will tester has an Evermore I updated

my profile and he's my top

match I'll make kombucha oh uh

yeah I don't even on a TV no no teach

their

own oh yeah yeah I love my cat I'm super

allergic to

cats Yello Charlie can't date will he's

not her perfect match oh my God why does

he have a secret family is he a scam

artist no no no no it's not that it's

it's this footage from their date I mean

it's

stilted and awkward I mean it is rough

bab can't you edit around it I mean I

can but are are we really going to let

Charlie introduce someone she has no

chemistry with the Press is going to eat

her up maybe they were just nervous or

camera shy Liam I think you're

overreacting okay may uh first of all I

watched the

Liam Charlie's happy she did what you

asked she found a match just let her

be

okay yep

that's okay so I've got the cater is

booked the Banners are on the way and

the media is confirmed all we have to do

is

decorate Earth to Charlie I feel like

something's

missing something just doesn't feel

right

I think we need to go bigger bigger oh

okay how what if we did the conference

in the park by the pier yes the pier I

love it oh my gosh okay I'll get started

right away great thanks

ma feeling ready yeah almost actually we

just decided to move the press release

to the park and I think they're going to

love the new feature I me are you

feeling ready about going public with

will it's a big commitment oh I know the

Press is going to love will I

meant never

mind yeah no you two are a total power

couple you know uh sure mave could pull

some strings with their Forbes contact

and get you to a cover spread oh um

let's not get ahead of ourselves the app

is still in beta the Vestry sounds like

a great app oh plus it's a perfect

Evermore integration it could be a great

way to redirect users from both

platforms will actually has a really

Innovative structure for the diff team

do you even like this

guy or do you just see him as the other

half of a potential power

couple of course I like him what are you

talking about let's go to the videotape

Charlie you two could talk shop all day

long but you have no chemistry outside

work we just started dating takes a long

time for two people to get to know each

other it's not what this is no all I see

is you changing yourself for someone

else again pretending to like raw vegan

food and sunrise hikes just to make this

work I mean you are not taking any of

this seriously I take this company very

seriously there it is yes yes you take

this company

seriously not you not your own

heart no you you need will for the

campaign you picked him to save the

company but not for your own happiness

you don't even know what you're talking

about this disrespects everything that

we have been working for and even worse

it disrespects you so now I disrespect

myself real

[Music]

nice you were making the same mistake

that led to your last breakup so now

you're just some relationship expert you

don't know the first thing about love

you just expect the perfect woman to

fall in your lap and then book it at the

first sign of trouble I'm not saying

that I'm perfect I'm just offering an

outside perspective an outside

perspective your whole life is an

outside perspective because you can't

let anyone in and that's why you jump

from company to company you can't commit

yourself to one job or one person I

think I've built a pretty good career

for myself off of my so-called lack of

commitment you know I'm not listening to

someone who's never been in a

relationship I've listened to you long

enough and I'm done just consider your

services

[Music]

rendered

oh uh fine

congratulations on your new found

love my agent will send over the invoice

no need to contact me

directly Charlie what happened it's fine

everything was going so well buiness

Partners come and go and we've have a

lot to do to make sure this conference

goes off without a hitch we need drop it

Ma

hello good

evening for you fresh lilies from the

community

garden oh wow thank you that is so very

sweet of you um lies are actually really

poisonous to cats oh but they'll look

great on the porch Rebel isn't allowed

outside anyway it's

fine that's fine there uh speaking of

Rebel in the bedroom don't worry no

allergy attacks tonight thanks so yeah

come on

in

[Music]

welcome that's interesting artwork yeah

it's basically a family portrait he's my

baby so 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 well what are we watching I'm game

for anything if anyone can open my eyes

to the magic of reality television I'm

sure it's you well I'm flattered okay

let's see what's on for hit your

ditch A Little Romance now so do you

want to order something to eat oh yeah

sure um we actually just partnered with

this really cool raw Fusion place I

recommend the pachuli burger now just so

you know it's not a traditional

hamburger the bun is somewhere between

Falafel and bow and the Patty itself oh

it's a Portell artichoke mixture and you

know for condiments they have this

gluten-free hoisin sauce and this daon

relish that's just Sublime I I can't do

this what do you mean I can't pretend to

like raw Fusion food for the rest of my

life and I can't keep my cat locked in

my bedroom every time you come over and

I can't change everything about myself

just to be with another person we have

to have something in

common I mean I thought we did the dates

have been going well yeah when we talk

about work can you think of a single

other topic we've connected

on like I have changed myself to fit

another person's mold for years and I

can't anymore I I I won't do it

anymore even if that means my

relationship and everm more are

doomed I have to choose myself worth

first and you should

too you might be right I mean besides

talking about our career Ambitions we

don't really have a lot to talk about

you deserve someone who loves raw Fusion

food and you deserve someone who'll

binge watch reality TV with you till the

cows come home till the vegan beef

substitute comes home very alternative

of you yes I'm

[Laughter]

trying you know maybe someday we'll make

great business partners but when it

comes to love is not a

match but hey if you ever have an app

idea you want to partner on i' better be

the first person you call

likewise oh it's the cat hair

yeah well you take care you

too

[Music]

hey you reached Liam please leave a

message

[Music]

hey You' reached Liam please leave a

[Music]

message hey you've reached Liam

[Music]

good Charlie hey Charlie shouldn't you

be on your date with will the date is

over will and I are over what do you

mean

over what's going on I don't know I

ended things why you guys were perfect

for each other is he

married no I think Liam was right well

there's a first time for everything I

thought you liked his ideas I do I mean

with you agreeing with him I don't know

every time will opened his mouth all I

could hear was Liam's voice in my head

I've prided myself on maintaining my

Integrity in my business deals and my

personal life should be no

different my dignity is more important

than finding a

match and even more important than

saving ever more Sorry Charlie we'll

call off the press

conference actually don't what why you

don't have a match to present and you'll

have nothing to talk about I have an

idea don't cancel anything and don't

tell

anyone okay leave it up Charlie still

wants to do the press conference what

could she possibly be planning

attention passengers apologies for the

delay you to

Fu look like we're flight buddies howdy

neighbor hello you headed to New York

of both Oh no just work nothing exciting

very saw my wife and kids I miss so many

of those moments that I see my son had

with his

family sorry no it was the job came with

the lifestyle and I knew that but now

with my grandkids I'm trying to make up

for lost time and I I think I'm

succeeding do you regret it regret

away from your loved ones I mean if you

could do it differently would you

absolutely life is about spending time

I hand out the Press briefs what's the

plan don't worry I have it all figured

out are we shutting down no are we

selling the company please don't don't

tell me we're being about help we're not

I cannot have a CEO that doesn't

appreciate my winning personality Nave

Dominic breathe I trusted you about Liam

now I need you to trust me about this

all righty if you say

so thank

[Music]

you

hello everyone and thank you all for

attending this conference I know you're

all probably expecting me to present my

perfect match some triumphant Victory to

show you that ever more can work for

everyone but it

can't this is the

end what are you doing looking for a new

job we're

doomed at the beginning of my personal

Evermore Journey I thought I knew love

but I didn't I knew how to make someone

else happy and how to change myself to

make another person loved me but that is

not

love online dating requires more

vulnerability than I ever

knew to find your perfect match you have

to show others who you truly are not the

work you not the generic you and not the

promise of what you could be and no app

not even Evermore can help you find love

if you aren't willing to open up and to

that end I think it's time I show all of

you who I really am not Charlie Cooper

CEO just

Charlie to be honest I would rather

watch grass grow than to go on a sunrise

hike I would rather watch paint dry than

talk about finance and I would much

rather have a concussion than to sit

through an entire football

game genius pure

[Music]

genius what's my real bucket list

vacation anywhere I could take my cow on

a walk without getting strange

looks what does my perfect weekend look

like sitting at home in my pj is

watching terrible trash reality TV my

real guilty pleasure a big grease Burger

that's probably less than 10% real

beef I didn't find my true match on

Evermore because there was a flaw in the

algorithm or design it was a flaw Within

Myself one that I'm working

on you got

this hey Mr hi you about to head to the

airport actually I'm not going to New

York what do you mean I can't

I'm not done here in Seattle uh if

they're keeping you more days they need

to pay you for more days do I need to

call their lawyer no no 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 girl man I I've spent my whole life

running and now I've finally found

someone worth staying for you'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 stuck before this I

couldn't see it I have never been open

to a real deep connection before and

yeah staying here in Seattle might be

the biggest risk of my career of my life

and I've never been more sure about

anything think this

through oh I have bye

Mitch now I am pleased to announce our

new feature that we are introducing to

Evermore and I going to use my own

authentic profile to do so as you've

read in the Press brief we are launching

our new feature been there all

along now Evermore will be able to match

me the real me with the most compatible

person in my contacts once I hit

safe Liam I thought his account was

Private it was

hi

[Music]

Charlie what are you doing here I'm

committing I've been running from gig to

Gig and personer person for

years and you helped me realize that I

was just doing that because it was easy

and I was scared I'm not running

[Music]

anymore but your job my job is a part of

my life part of my life that I love very

much there is

something someone that I care about even

more and she is more important than any

AD

campaign I think this is all I need to

prove that my algorithm works

really I always wanted you to be my

perfect match

really always even when they said that I

didn't do dating apps or when I said

that your company was dying or fired me

maybe not always

always this is so much better than any

stupid ad campaign that I could have

come up

with

yes
