INT. A MID TOWN MANHATTAN AD AGENCY - DAY
Several over-paid ad professionals sit around a sustainably harvested 20 foot live edge rainforest tree meeting table. The table is littered with catered gluten-free snacks, the latest tech from Apple, etc, and magazines featuring Elon Musk.
An overly-thin man with a bushy beard and expensive black outfit leans into the head of the table.
CEO
Well? Does anyone have anything?
Several young men and women shift nervously in their seats. One whispers in another's ear.
OVERPAID PROFESSIONAL #1
Bro-your promotion is on the line-go for it!
The nervous young man clears his throat.
The CEO turns his attention to the young man.
The entire table shifts their focus in his direction. This is his moment.
NERVOUS OVERPAID PROFESSIONAL
Um. Excuse me. Ahem. (beat) Reddit?
CEO
Been there. Done that. Not enough exposure to past campaigns. Meh results.
The young man is crushed. The room's focus is shifting away as he makes a last ditch effort.
NERVOUS OVERPAID PROFESSIONAL
Wait. Well, what I mean is, create the campaign through social media. You know, crowd source it...
The room looks skeptical.
Another co-worker raises their hand.
OVERPAID PROFESSIONAL #2
What do we pay them?
The young man straightens his spine. More confidant.
NERVOUS OVERPAID PROFESSIONAL
Well, see, that's just it. We don't really pay them anything. Well-nominally. We give them GOLD. Reddit Gold.
The room lights up with the SOUNDS of excitement.
INT. THE HALL LEADING FROM THE CONFERENCE ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Nailed it. Let's do the ski trip in Switzerland this year. I'll call my travel guy.
