Script 1

So what does customer intimacy really mean? We’ve split it into 3 key areas:

1. Understanding – through understanding what our customers want more clearly than the competition, we can better meet customer needs.

2. Influencing – through shaping what customers want, and lending them our international insight, we can be better placed to deliver for them.

3. Creating - through co-creating new solutions to the challenges of today and tomorrow, we can be true partners to our customers.

Script 2

Mr Jefferson... we have learned that you’ve been purposely failing in your obligations to the company, claiming that apparently it contradicts your beliefs, have you not?...

So as of this moment you no longer work for us...

and any assets accumulated for your family during your employment have been seized. Mr. Jefferson, You have been very foolish thinking that playing against the largest space mining company in the world would be to your advantage.

Script 1

The Omega. A world adrift in the galaxy’s heart.

A riddle teetering at the edge of the black hole

Steered and ruled by a strange synthetic intelligence

The Freemind

It languished in solitude for eons

Devoid of its architects, devoid of purpose

It began searching for new tokens to play with

It found you

And you came.

Script 2

In all corners of the world, there are new experiences to be found.

Hidden gems to discover,

Local quirks to uncover.

More Corners is the travel guide, that shows you what lies just off the beaten path.

The things to see and do, that you can find, when you look just that little bit harder.

Because there’s more than just four corners to the world.

There are More Corners.
