Introduction:
The NEKO Morning Show has been successfully running since its inception on TikTok. We have grown significantly and are now streaming across five different platforms.
This report presents a summary of the funding we received for the period from June 2020 to July 2020, with the show airing twice a week.
Objective:
The primary goal of the NEKO Morning Show is to onboard and educate more users to the NEAR Protocol through a live show streamed on multiple platforms simultaneously.
The show’s interactive format, featuring face-to-face interactions and live video feedback, has fostered trust between the hosts and our audience, and created a more engaging and enjoyable experience than just a standard twitter space.
Additionally, we have expanded our outreach and established to be one of top podcast shows on the NEAR Protocol.
Previous Funding and Upgrades:
Thanks to the support from the Marketing DAO, we were able to purchase streaming equipment for one of the hosts (Soos).This improvement created a more professional setup and a better viewership experience that allowed us to explore other social media platforms, expanding our reach to a broader audience without the limitation of TikTok account restrictions and country regulations.
Results and Impact:
For our most recent proposal we received $2500 for equipment & expenses, and held 10 NEKO Morning shows which had a total of 6,070 views with an average of 607 views, and a total of 62,896 impressions with an average of 6,290 Impressions per show across multiple streaming platforms.
For our Morning Show before the Marketing DAO proposal we held 5 NEKO Morning Shows (Blitz Week Morning Show) which had a total of 3,815 total views with an average of 763 views per show on TikTok only with no multi-streaming option and impressions. While we received slightly more views from our previous shows, there was a marathon format and multiple incentives that increased viewership during that time. Since we received funding, our impact has increased noticeably.
The funding we received has had a significant impact on our show’s performance and impact including the quality of our content, and our ability to host high profile influencers from across crypto twitter. With the expansion to multiple streaming platforms, we have witnessed a notable increase in engagement, new followers and stick audience. Although some platforms lack comprehensive data tracking, we have collected substantial metrics on our performance across various channels.

Kick/Twitch:
Kick/Twitch: has proven to be our weakest platform in terms of viewership and data tracking. As a new platform, it lacks comprehensive tools for data tracking, making it challenging to assess performance accurately. During the period under review, the average views on Kick did not exceed 10 viewers at maximum.
Future Strategy:
Despite the initial difficulties on Kick/Twitch, we remain determined to establish a presence on this platform that is dominated by IRL stream and Gaming.The NEKO Morning Show team is committed to making a name for ourselves and building an audience on Kick/Twitch. We recognize that gaining traction on a new platform takes time, and we are willing to invest efforts and resources to see how far we can go with it.
Alternative Options:
While we remain focused on Kick/Twitch for now, we acknowledge that there are other well-established social media options available, such as Facebook and Instagram. If Kick/Twitch numbers do not improve over time and fail to provide a conducive environment for audience growth, we will explore these alternative platforms to ensure we continue to reach a wider audience effectively.
Please take notes:
-
In the previous data records, the viewership was solely from TikTok, where we conducted back-to-back streams for five days and had longer streaming hours compared to our current approach. However, having a larger viewership on a single platform does not automatically indicate better metrics. The real value we gained from multi-streaming was the ability to extend our reach to other platforms and attract diverse audiences globally
-
Previous data records showed no impressions, but with the Multi-Streaming option, we obtained a significant number of impressions as mentioned earlier on all other platforms. This indicates that we successfully increased our exposure.
-
Impressions are derived solely from the Morning Show podcast link. We engaged our viewers through interactive tasks, leading them to create tweets, NDC SBF and OG screenshot claims, NEAR Protocol-related topics, memes, and more. We utilized hashtags like #NEKOMorningShow #NEARISNOW #NEARISBOS ndc, resulting in numerous engaging tweets and impressions.
Conclusion:
-
The funding received for the NEKO Morning Show has been instrumental in enhancing our production quality, expanding our outreach, and fostering greater engagement with our audience.
-
The success of the show is a testament to its positive impact on promoting the NEAR Protocol and educating users about web3 and blockchain technology.
-
With the KPIs we have achieved so far, the newly structured NEKO Morning Show multi-streaming platform demonstrates significant potential for further growth with feature upgrades and expansion.
We are planning to approach the Marketing DAO to request additional funding for another month.
This will allow us to maintain the momentum of our platform and continue our crucial mission of educating newcomers, existing users, and onboarding more individuals to the NEAR Protocol.
We express our gratitude to the Marketing Dao for their support and are committed to continuing our mission of providing valuable content to our viewers and maintaining our position as the top podcast show on the NEAR Protocol.
