INT. UNIVERSITY CAMPUS - DAY
A student is sitting in a study room, searching for student jobs on a laptop. The camera pans to a job ad that reads "Assistant Copywriter."
CUT TO:
INT. UNIVERSITY HALLWAY - DAY
A busy hall, filled with students lazily strolling to their classes. The camera tilts to the student, leaning on a coffee table, phone in hand. Sheets of paper with CV copies, a laptop showing the job ad, and one cover letter clutter the surface of the table. The phone is ringing.

INT. SONAR - DAY
Giorgio is sitting at a desk with a "Content Creator" sign on it. His phone rings. He steadily picks up and listens to the voice on the other end with gripping attention. He takes a few moments to reply:
Giorgio: (to camera) “What do you think the next frontier of copywriting is? Do you think you can convert casual readers into enthusiastic customers?” Are you a creative, ambitious student looking for a way to kickstart a career in content creation? Look no further! For you can be the Assistant Copywriter we’re looking for!”
The Content Creator pauses. The student on the other end of the phone pushes back with a series of questions. A smile cracks Giorgio's face.
Giorgio: (to camera) “As an Assistant Copywriter:

We flash forward to the student taking on the job of Assistant Copywriter. The student is writing a customer story about one of Sonar's biggest clients. As the story is ready to be published, the student smiles and thinks back to the last lines of the job ad:

The camera zooms out to show an international office, filled with enthusiastic people coming from over 15 countries with one goal: to break the frontier of customer insights.
