We pray to the council members

Hey guys,
Can you clarify what this actually is? Is it a party or an event?

The C1 guild has never held a party but only events. This evidence is testament of the success of the Lagos State University outreach held by the guild which was one of the factors that made the guild to be featured on the NEAR guilds website.
The event is an onboarding campaign but having elements of a party through engaging mainstream Afro popularity for traction and regard for the event.!
The event is already set, only just needing logistical support to happen as planned

Well said and properly summarized, it is an Event that cover’s vividly very important bodies of the NEAR Ecosystem
Creative, Marketing, Onboarding and more
And as @Dedeukwu mentioned, we are counting days to this event and we are looking forward to support as stated in the proposal so as to sort out pending arrangements/bills and make this event a success.

Hi all – I am helping to advise the MarketingDAO. I have concerns about this request because it is largely to cover non-marketing expenses for an event and from what I can tell reflects expenses incurred after the original proposal was funded by the CreativeDAO.
Much like my response to this declined proposal, I do not think the MarketingDAO is here to fund non-marketing activities that are actually costs for operations and expenses, such as hotel, food, bouncers, etc.
Additionally, it does not build confidence that the request is to cover unexpected budget items and that it is a very last-minute request. It comes across like a request for funds to help cover the result of planning and logistics problems, and that is not specific to marketing.
I would advise no on that basis.
Again, to be clear, I say all of this not as a criticism of your intent or your dedication to growing Near awareness or the event itself, but as those of us advising the council continue to support the Near community through our work with the MarketingDAO, it is important, in my point of view, to advise them to carefully choose to appropriate funds only to marketing activities so that we are acting responsibly on behalf of the community as a whole.

Thank you so much,
I would really like to bring to your knowing that this is a totally marketing oriented event. We are creating NEAR awareness in the central capital of the most populous country in Africa.
This proposal was decided by the C1 guild. It would be advisable for the Marketing DAO to take time to examine the success and reputation of the C1 guild and the marketing DAO should also know that it is not everyday that C1 gets to make requests like this
The theme of the whole event is Marketing, We are enlightening the elite class of the country’s society about NFTs and crypto with the NEAR Blockchain being the mainstay platform for which they are able to learn about these concepts
I would also like you all to know that the NEAR token significantly depreciated from its original value of funds receipt. The NEAR token’s 80% decline in price was not anticipated and this led to a plunge in NEAR value locked in wallets. Fund that we’re disbursed significantly reduced in value and this is the basis of the request for support from the Marketing DAO.
The C1 guild has a s throng on onboarding reputation.I would enjoin the Marketing DAO to consider this premise in its approach to this proposal.
For we have only being about the expansion of NEAR Blockchain since the launch of the guild. With a couple of Unversity outreaches and real life creative onboarding events in its belt
The C1 guild has proved its mettle to the NEAR ecosystem
I look forward to meticulous review of what the guild intends to do and a resolution made from the consideration of the “beating heart” of the C1 guild: To spread the gospel of NEAR.

Hi @Dedeukwu thank you for your proposal. It is great to see your enthusiasm… and the advertising materials and programme for the event you are planning.
However, i would echo the comments by @so608 regarding the intended use of the funds requested. This proposal seems to be for funds to cover last minute expenses… why are you not making a second proposal to request extra funding from the @creativesdao-council ?

Thank you for your kind word @cryptocredit
It is not usually that one is aware of creatives DAO providing extra funding after a monthly round of funding DAOs. And moreover, creatives can only fund DAOs a maximum of 5k every month. I would talk to @JCB to see how we can achieve that and get back to you .

It’s a No for me.
The nature of this event is unclear to me.
What is the venue?
Purpose of the event?
Is this just a meet and greet?
Having “celebrity guests” without listing who it is and their reach on a variety of platforms leave me scratching my head.
The speaker fee for this type of event might not even be warranted to be honest.
Hotel price seems high as well.
Bouncers / security fee seems high as well.
This just doesn’t immediately seem to be an event that would be beneficial to the Near Ecosystem and generate more sign-ups on the wallets.
Thanks for your answer
I would like you to please check the track record of the c1 guild before outrightly assuming a polarity of perspective. We have had events like this in the past and we have proof of work done as regarding onboarding activities within the guild. Please consider as I requested for the sake of promoting more valid and evidence backed judgement
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for the proposal!
I don’t have any issues with the amount of funding. However, what I would like to see more information on how this event can be leveraged in a marketing sense - how can this be captured in all media forms: blogs, videos, photos, coverage across the entire NEAR ecosystem. It feels like a great event for those attending, how can we get the most value that lives beyond that specific point and place in time?
