Hi @Blessedchidi Thanks for your patience as we’ve reviewed this. Here’s what I am struggling with in reviewing this proposal:
The metrics you’re proposing for evaluating progress (i.e. increase in social following on different platforms, number of events held and, in a sense, the NFTs sold/owned by your community) aren’t great indicators of whether the initiative is bringing more active wallets, on-chain transactions and new developers to the NEAR ecosystem.
Over the past 6+ months or so, the MarketingDAO has significantly reduced the amount of funding we allocate to projects purely for social media content and content production because it’s often hard to show that it leads to the KPIs given to us by the NEAR Foundation in our guidelines. Just because an initiative puts a bunch of content out on social media and hosts an event about NEAR, it can be hard to understand whether that is actually creating growth in the ecosystem, and we are looking for proposals that can demonstrate some degree of strategy and explanation around that.
In this case, I think it’s unclear what the outcome of your social media efforts will be at this stage. I want to note that you haven’t received MarketingDAO funds recently, and that the amount requested for one month is, in my view, fair.
I can support this for one month, and I would need to see a report before reviewing a proposal requesting additional funding for future months.
hello @so608,
thank you for finding time to go through our proposal and for your support.
I’ve noted your concerns and will ensure that comprehensive progress report will be submitted on the forum before requesting funding for future months if this proposal get’s approved.
I’ve just gone through all the comments and questions from my peers. Thanks for taking the time to provide through answers.
I support this proposal on the same terms as @so608 - one month followed by report and reassessment. Thoughts and reasoning:
I’ve taken into account the feedback and additional context provided by @sarahkornfeld and would like to encourage more community members to be active on the forum weighing in on proposals that they are familiar with.
C1 has been active for a long time - I actually bought a piece of Mintbase a while back.
The amount requested is relatively low.
Going forward, I would strongly encourage the team to align themselves as much as possible with the NEAR Strategic values. As you craft experiences for your community, ask ‘How can we create a unique experience for NFT creators on NEAR?’
Find ways to ensure every single member in your community knows about the latest technological advancements and tools available to them such as Keypom, Mintbase, Few and Far, etc.
In the future, proposals that are heavier on the Arts side will be referred to Creatives DAO. Marketing DAO is here to ensure every single member of the community - regardless of vertical - becomes knowledgeable and can leverage the tech. We are funding a distribution channel - show us how much value can be unlocked by putting this information and tools into your community.
Hello @satojandro,
Thank you for your support, more especially, for taking your time to assess and outline ways C1 can do/be better and for purchasing our NFT.
We are growing, learning, unlearning, relearning and adjusting. Be rest assured that your advise will be well utilized.
Many thanks,
Blessedchidi.
Hi @Blessedchidi Since two council members have given support based on one month, can you update the total amount requested at the top to reflect the funding for a single month instead of two? Then I can approve this proposal. Thanks!
