Hey Marketing DAO,

NearCon is fast approaching and given the number of events springing up around the same time, I would like to make sure I firmed up my participation sooner rather than later and locked in the rates for travel and hotel.

Funding scheme:
One Time

Representing Near Nordic:

Near Nordic launched in early May and we had an absolute blast meeting everyone that came out while making a splash in the community:

Near Nordic Launch Party Highlight Reel - Web3 Community

Attendee Interviews - Near Nordic Launch Event - Join the Community!

Additionally, weā€™ve been funneling early-stage builders into the community and giving them support in applying for Near grants to build their projects.

Education on Web3 and Near

Through various meetups, workshops, interviews, and conference participation Iā€™ve been focused on teaching corporates and builders some of the core values of Web3 and Blockchain technology with my own special blend of communication.

Marketing DAO

Since January of 2022, my role within the advisory committee has been to dive into project proposals and gauge their technical and marketing merit for purposes of funding. There are too many varieties of projects within different ecosystems to list.

Metrics for Measuring Success:

Engage / Network
Meet various builders from the ecosystem, DAO community, funding, to find new ways to continue to support the ecosystem

Keynote/ Workshop / Panel Discussion (1-3):
Having submitted multiple proposals for speaking, Iā€™m hoping to get involved on stage from various angles (Ecosystem support, Marketing DAO, and/or Web3 Marketing).
Having spoken at over 100+ events in the last 4 years, itā€™s never been an issue to mix things up with organizers to firm up a few spots. However, until I can firm up that Iā€™m going to attend, itā€™s challenging to confirm with the organizers.

Expected Impact:

Depending on the keynote Iā€™m able to run, my goals are to:

  • Form new partnerships
  • Educate builders and marketers on the Marketing DAO and our processes
  • Build new connections inside and outside of the Near ecosystem

Funding:

Flight: 844 USD
Hotel: 713,57 USD
Food and Transport: ($115 per diem) 460 USD
NearCon Ticket: 300 USD

Total:
2.317 USD

Wallet ID:
Klint.Near

Thank you!

WOW! Good to see proposal getting approved in around 3hrs where other GUILDS & Community people have to wait for weeks & that too with just one council supportā€¦

Transparency?
Decentralized Ecosystem?

Hey Klint , I am not sure if you have any extra power on NEAR Forum. Because I have told from day 1 that regulations and procedure are same here for everyone, no matter who you are.

When the leader themself canā€™t follow the procedure, what examples are they setting?

I donā€™t have any personal issue with you sir. You own this forum, you can set any rules or change them. But NEAR is known for its transparency & equality. Community have to wait for days/weeks then why it is so hard for a council to waitā€¦

If I am not wrong, the procedure is:

  1. After posting the proposal there are set of people who discuss and give their opinion.

  2. And if your PROPOSAL GETS 3 YES FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS, then it is marked as APPROVED.

But here,

  1. NO DISCUSSION

  2. MARKED APPROVED WITH ONLY SINGLE YES

Sorry, if you find anything wrong in this. Pardon me, but this was my observation & opinion to it. Also, you have the right to disagree with this. I donā€™t have any personal grudges with anyone & this Ecosystem have created the best ever teams & GUILDS, everyone is kind here. But these are some things that can take us backward. Because I know, every one will see this and will skip as they do not want to take any risk. But for sure they will mark it as negetive thing in their mind and might not trust this transparency.

Everyone please feel free to share your opinion on this, I might be the only wrong person here.
Thankyou & Sorry at the same time to the whole ecosytem. Hope the whole ecosystem will give fair opinion on this.

Okay! I agree but I guess they would have waited for few more time, because no one knows about your internal meetings. If you look it by anyone else POV it looks unethical.

Sorry, I guess you got it wrong. I am not doubting any of your work. My simple opinion was the procedure was not followed. Also, I respect all your hard work to raise this whole community All the proposals were reviewed properly here and was on time, especially @dacha you are the one of the most active council or forum member here. No doubt in that.

My concern was for PROCEDURE, donā€™t you think it will create doubt in others?

Also, the report you sent never mentions that PROPSALS CAN GET APPROVED IN SINGLE YES. If it was discussed in the weekly CALLS, it should not be presented on FORUM,

Hey guys ā€“ Iā€™m on the council, and I will quickly say that I think that you are right to ask for the same procedure to be followed for everyone. In my view, there should have been adequate time for all council to review and post on the forum before moving this to approved.

I do think the outcome of the council decision/vote would have been the same regardless of the timing, but you are right to underscore the need for consistency and fairness. Thanks for posting this!

Donā€™t get me wrong, Iā€™m not against your point of viewā€¦ all Iā€™m saying is a direct word and not to assume anyone opinion. Iā€™m scared of nothing. Seeing the approval, i felt it have being discussed by the council before approval. So every one have a point of view. Afterall you wrote what i quoted and Iā€™m just giving my opinion.

Thank you for your feedback.

@Klint thank you for your proposal and sharing the report on the launch of NearNordic.

I have no hesitation in supporting funding your attendance at NEARCON as I believe that the depth of experience and insight that you and @so608 bring to both the community and Marketing DAO adds significant value to all projects building on NEAR.

I would also add that the Marketing DAO council members who will be present at NEARCON are looking forward to meeting face to face with the community and we hope that this event will provide an opportunity to build strong relationships for the future.

  • I am also agree to this but other @marketingdao-council members are so lazy in work. i seen many reports and proposals but only @Dacha is only council member who ask question and also after giving community replies @Dacha is replying on that.

  • Other Proposals are pending but council member Get Aproved.

  • But other counsils are disapeers for many days after asking question. @David_NEAR You need to check work of marketing counsils as well.

  • In addition to that @Klint Sir having marketing agency but he has only 200 Followers in IG,
    57 Followers and 73 following. How you do your marketing sir?

*If all Community CEO are apply to attend NEARCON can marketing approve all.

Hi hina, I wanted to comment on this as somebody from the outside of this situation but as a marketing professional with 10 years of experience as a freelancer and in agency settings.

Follows are a vanity stat that that arent always indicative of success and often mask ineffectiveness. Marketing is a spectrum of practices, and metrics are relative. Digital marketing and ads especially, can increase leads and prospects, but dont necessarily translate to social followings, though still translating to conversions and sales, which are the metrics that matter most.

I know many, many marketing agencies that use ā€œgrowth hacksā€ and other tricks to pump following counts and other vanity stats while leading to minimal conversion or engagement. Essentially making their following count meaningless, and even counterproductive.

Theres also a bit of understood irony in the marketing field, where we take care of our clientā€™s accounts far more than our own, because its about the results we can deliver for them, and our personal socials dont get the same attention because we are focused on building client strategies.

I like to contextualize professional socials, as living press kits.
The creator and influencer economy is another beast entirely.

Of course having large followings are nice, but they are easy to be misleading.

Hey @hina weā€™re always open to criticism and feedback ā€“ I donā€™t think it needs to turn into a personal attack on anyone though. Agree with @rhymetaylorā€™s thoughts on the vanity metrics :slightly_smiling_face:
