Fraser Cottrell: who's from me. It's close.
Evan Lee: I have to set the energy right.
Fraser Cottrell: We're real close.
Evan Lee: Everybody, welcome to the party. We're so excited to be here. First thing I always like to know is throw it into the chat. We've already seen it start off a little bit. Where is everybody dialing in from? Love to talk about our global community. Let us know.
South Africa in the building. Toronto in the building. Berlin, Vancouver, everybody everywhere. That's awesome. Super awesome.
Fraser Cottrell: Wild. It's pretty early for a lot of places as well, right? Like, I mean, for me, it's, I'm UK. It's 4 o'clock. It's nearly home time for me, but, um,
Evan Lee: Yeah.
Fraser Cottrell: look at this, NYC, Houston.
Evan Lee: From Hawaii. I love it.
Fraser Cottrell: Hannah Brown from the room next door, my employee. She's, she's there. She's working hard.
Evan Lee: There you go, Hannah.
Fraser Cottrell: This is what we like. I'm in the room next door.
Evan Lee: I love it, everybody. I love it. And and just cuz we're getting there, we can't believe like Fraser and I were talking about this before, but can't believe it's already Q4 that's about to stick or sneak up on us.
Fraser Cottrell: Man.
Evan Lee: Let's throw, let's throw some emojis.
Fraser Cottrell: Who is, who, yeah, who, who is excited for Q4? Give us a, I want a, um, a fire if we're prepared for Q4. And then if we're, if we're not, just a, just a sad face, just anything that represents sad times because this thing is creeping up. We've been working on Q4 concepts like all week and it has been, it's really happening. Well, at least people are semi-prepared. There's a few crying faces though.
Evan Lee: Oh, we can use GIFs.
Fraser Cottrell: Oh, we can use GIFs.
Evan Lee: Of course we can.
Fraser Cottrell: Of course we can. Man, we're in the future. Damn.
Evan Lee: Of course. Of course. And then everybody, what I'm, what I'm always excited to know before we jump into things here is just uh, you're going to see we're going to throw a poll up on the screen really quickly. People have already started filling it out.
The screen layout changes. The two speakers are now stacked on the left. On the right is an open poll titled "Where do you work right now?" with options: "Agency", "In-house / brand", and "Freelancer / consultant". The initial results show 11 votes: Agency 36% (4), In-house / brand 55% (6), Freelancer / consultant 9% (1).
Evan Lee: Uh, if you can just tap right on the screen, where are you currently at right now? Just want to get a sense of what your day-to-day start to look like as we think about what we're starting to talk about on this one.
Fraser Cottrell: How, people were on that before they even, before they even got on it. Look at that. Before we announced it, people were filling it out.
Evan Lee: They figured it out. They figured it out. The polls on the on the tabs.
Fraser Cottrell: Smart.
