Hello, team! Thank you for your proposal and for doing an excellent job with Eco founders. I am glad to support it. My suggestions: - all internal Eco influences should add information in their profiles that they work for NDC within Near Ecosystem and Marketing DAO; With the next proposal: - sign a partnership with NDC’s social media and brand-growing team; work together to amplify NDC / NDC node announcements. All Eco influencers should share and create content about all important NDC announcements. You need to make a chat "The NDC SMM team \<\> MDAO \<\> Eco influencers. - although MDAO doesn’t substitute NF Marketing efforts, MDAO (as a lead) , SMM team and Degen’s team should develop long-term relationships with top crypto influencers (2-3). The main focus is Near / NDC / Builders and Founders support opportunities within NDC. This can be AMAs with key persons and founders / educational videos about Near / NDC ; Lady of Crypto, Crypto King, etc. - continue developing bounty program together with Hero team. - for MDAO admin - do research regarding Media/ Marketing grants programs in other blockchains and share in a form the report with the following proposal; - For MDAO councils - increase a budget and support long-term relationships with top crypto influencers; hire someone for this role if necessary. - **The House of Merit can also consider direct requests from individuals up to $75,000. Please feel free to use this option where needed.** ---
