    The Single Influencer Pitch

    “New partnership. What do you think? Woah. Not bad. Look at that. Negotiated with her manager for three months. Nice following. 600K on TikTok. Got a post and an Instagram story for $150,000.”

  3. Product Reveal

    The Army of Creators Counter

    “That's nice, Lateman. But that's nothing. Now look at this. That is really nice. That is our client's creator team. They hired 300 creators to reach millions from 1000's of different posts. Far greater reach than your single influencer. What do you think?”

    SideShift Value Proposition

    “Nice. Jesus. That's really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful? They found the creators on SideShift. 500,000 of them ready to work with any brand at a moment's notice. You hired one creator. SideShift companies are hiring an army for pennies on the dollar.”

    Lateman's Internal Breakdown

    “I can't believe that Bryce prefers SideShift's partnerships to mine. Look at all the different people. The calculated methodology of it. Oh my god, billions of data points on what types of videos go viral. It's a game changer for any brand. Lateman? Lateman! You're sweating. You're living in the past, Lateman!”
