I heard there is a new triple secret release this year - "Project G"
Not again
Label Executive & Head of Sales
We want to release all possible configurations as a total surprise - LFV, Reel to Reel and the new Digital 8 Track.....everything!
Project G The biggest release in 2015
No problem!
Biz Dev & BA
We are going to have to negotiate new terms with all of our digital partners
I gotta talk to supply chain!
I don't think our contracts cover 8 tracks anymore
Supply Chain
They want me to produce 8 tracks and I don't even have the masters yet
Just get it done
We have to fast track this new format - putting it on the '17 road map is not going to be acceptable
Sales is going to drive us crazy about this!
Finance & Operations
Our warehouse facility has never handled 8 tracks before
We were told we cannot publish any product info until the press release
Neil is going to drive me crazy about this!
Credit & Sales
Sue we have a new account to open for Project G, they are going to order 1 million units
I cant tell you that it's confidential
No
Ok, but can I see financials? I can’t just approve a $7 million credit line without financials
Sure Bob, what is the account?
Can I get a vendor reference to make sure they are at least paying other vendors on time?

Ole & Darren Catch Up
Darren, I am getting a lot of heat from the international affiliates regarding confidential releases, we need to know what's going on in order to maximize sales globally
Bob - Project G needs to the right Advertising, the right College & Lifestyle Marketing, the right Publicity and the right Brand/Strategic Marketing! Can 'stache media do all of this for me?
Managing Directors Meeting
Ole, you have to speak with the US about these confidential rush releases. We need to get some notice in order to properly get set up internationally
Bob - we are going to need coverage for Project G stock @ Wal-Mart White Plains
