Pitch...

Hi everyone,



Can anyone explain what this sentence means?



"Every other ad ended with a pitch to come work for the thriving company of the future".



The whole sentence is like this:



It’s hard to know what to be more nostalgic about, all those childhood dreams of space opera or the optimism of an era in which imagination and technology were booming and every other ad ended with a pitch to come work for the thriving company of the future.
