“The Night Before Earnings”
————————————————
This series of short promos parodying “The Night Before Christmas” would follow the story of well-known tastytrade personalities trading earnings events. They would serve as holiday season network interstitials and social media posts.
Below is the concept I pitched, which, if approved, I would have completed with an additional 2 or 3 spots.
Spot 1
Spot 2
(visual to follow voiceover narrative)
Narrator:
Twas the night before earnings, when all through the office,
Not a foot was stirring, not even Kristi Ross’s.
Condors and strangles placed on tastyworks with care,
In hopes that the morn would bring market moves elsewhere;
Traders at home nestled snug in their beds,
While visions of Green P/L’s danced in their heads;
And Vonetta in her bow, and Tom in his cap,
Having had their daily dose, settled in for a pre-earnings nap...
To find out what happens in our earnings’ tale later,
Keep tuning into tastytrade, my dear holiday trader.
Narrator:
We now continue our holiday story,
Of the night before earnings, a tale of pure glory.
We left our traders asleep in their beds,
dreaming of profits and no upsets from the Fed…
(will continue narrative if concept approved)
