As a marketing and technology solutions company, we live at the intersection of storytelling and the latest tech innovations. So, in the spirit of the season, we of course had to ask ChatGPT to pitch a holiday movie based on our company—complete with our whole team as the cast.

The result? Surprisingly wholesome, a little too accurate, and honestly something we’d stream immediately.

Introducing The 39th Day of Christmas. In this quick-witted holiday comedy, a last-minute year-end launch goes wobbly, a client deadline looms, and our team discovers the most powerful thing you can ship isn’t a campaign… it’s a tradition.

The Cast

Shane Stiles (President): Captain energy. Keeps the mission clear and the vibes steady.

Cezar Camba (Chief Operating Officer): The operations guardian. Publicly practical, privately sentimental.

Megan Smith (Director of Client Services): The client relationship whisperer who can defuse panic with one phone call.

Allison Bischoff (Director of Marketing): Big-picture strategist who sees the whole board three moves ahead.

Nick Landsberger (Design Lead): Visual mastermind and recovering holiday-decor skeptic.

Deandra Henahan (Marketing Manager): The “make it real” operator who turns vision into execution and keeps everyone laughing.

Wendy Rodgers (Marketing Manager): The glue—juggles calendars, content, and chaos with cheerful competence.

Carolyn Beatty (Client Services Manager): The heart of the story. Balances client calm with behind-the-scenes reality.

Eduardo Estevez Nunez (Dev Ops Specialist): Behind-the-scenes hero keeping everything stable (and dropping elite one-liners).

Feiying Hu (Senior Developer): The problem-solver who speaks fluent “deadline” and gives unexpectedly great pep talks.

Walter Loburak (Senior Developer): Performance wizard. Learns humans aren’t pipelines (even if he tries).

John Martello (Senior Developer): Quiet, elegant-coder energy. Solves the hard stuff, then delivers the funniest line in the room.

The Plot

It’s the final stretch before the holidays. Two big client moments are converging at once:

A financial services campaign needs to go live before year-end—time-sensitive messaging, a tight compliance window, the whole nine yards. Meanwhile, an agricultural brand is rolling out a seasonal push tied to real-world timing (because farming doesn’t care that everyone’s out of office).

Everything is queued up. Then (of course!) something critical breaks. The kind of “uh-oh” that threatens timelines, trust, and everyone’s holiday sanity.

Instead of pulling an all-nighter spiral, Gate 39 does what we do best: we pull together.

To keep spirits high, our marketing team starts a playful internal tradition: a “39 Days of Micro-Miracles” board. Every day, someone does one small, unexpected act that makes another teammate’s day easier... without being asked.

It starts as a fun challenge. It turns into the secret weapon that saves both launches.

The Finale

On launch night, there’s one last curveball (because holiday movies require it). But the Micro-Miracles momentum kicks in: a collaboration between programming, assistance from DevOps, design saves, and client comms magic gets both projects across the finish line—on time, on brand, and (miraculously) with everyone still liking each other.

Then, in the best scene of the movie, Shane reads a handful of the anonymous Micro-Miracle notes out loud. They’re funny. They’re specific. They’re weirdly touching. And suddenly the team realizes: this wasn’t just a sprint.

It was a reminder of who we are.

Coming soon to a streaming service near you 😉

Happy holidays from Gate 39! May your launches be stable, your timelines realistic, and your micro-miracles plentiful. 🎄✨
