[Proposal] Digital Strategy

My background is in branding, marketing and management across music, consumer brands and tech.

To start off I will use my skill set as a marketer to:

Build a strategy for the NEAR founders to build a large presence on Clubhouse / Podcasts / and YouTube. This involves:
locating which channels and shows to pursue
creating stories around why the interviewer should be excited to interview NEAR
Writing unique content for each interview where the NEAR founders can give the interviewer an Exclusive on the inner planning at NEAR (we don’t want to say the same thing on each podcast)
Create simple CTAs that podcast listeners can take during the show to get involved.

Build a NEAR TikTok account and community
Source and write answers to simple crypto related questions to educate the viewers
Improve the NEAR Instagram, and use it as the landing page from TikTok

Source additional partnerships throughout my interactions with influencers and artists.

Hi @sparx ,
Nice to meet you! I’m the social media lead at NEAR.
This sounds very interesting. I would be more than happy to jump on a call with you next week. Could you prepare a more detailed proposal?
Best, Joep

@Grace and @ross met with @sparx last week to discuss their background and capabilities, while they would like to remain anonymous to the public, I have shared a much longer document with the council outlining their plans.

Thank you for the call earlier today Sparx.
I’m very excited to get this started and looking forward to seeing results!

We agreed to the following:

  1. You agreed you will set up the Growth Hacking Guild, @Grace can you explain to @sparx how this works?
  2. Main focus is on setting up a TikTok first, after that Instagram.
  3. @ross will create the TikTok videos with input from @sparx. @ross can you confirm?
  4. The proposal on the forum will be more detailed than what is posted above. Elaborate about strategy, audience, expected metrics, etc.

Voted “yes” on the SputnikDAO proposal. It would be great if you could add details about the funding amount into your original post (you can edit it if needed or add a reply).

Action Plan - Month One
I know we have spoken about other plans and ideas but this is what I think I can execute month one and we can build off this foundation after the first month and see what else we can do. There might be a few other things along the month that I might want to execute in which case I will ask for permission. Let me know if there are any other questions. Look forward to executing this initial plan.

Tik Tok:

  • Start new Tik Tok Account
  • Target audience - Gen Z users who have a limited understanding of blockchain and its use cases
    • Use educational content to introduce them to the potential of the technology and that will eventually funnel to how the near ecosystem fits into that narrative
  • Expectations:
    • Create educational content
      • What is a dao?
      • What is the metaverse?
      • What is web 3.0?
    • Build ground layer of a community
    • 10 Videos
    • 200-1000 followers depending on how the content reacts

Instagram:

  • Improve the ascetic with content team
  • Push out high quality content
    • I have a content team ready to push out content and I will pay them using some of the funds from the requested 1000 near tokens

YouTube/Clubhouse:

  • Attempt to land speaking opportunities
  • Strategize on ways to get a large placement and work on pr strategy
    • Attempt to speak to different audiences and create different strategies depending on the target audience.

@sparx great detailed outline of what you’ll be working on, just to confirm, what part of the content creation process will you take for the videos

  1. Script writing?
  2. Finding trends?
  3. – I’ll be filming

    I’m excited to launch and see how it goes.
