Nouns News - 1 Million Views Challenge

TL;DR

• Nouns News, a media group dedicated to bringing awareness of all things Nouns through authentic and engaging content across all social channels.
• GOAL: 1 MILLION VIEWS - we will return the 5th and last payment to the DAO treasury if we DO NOT reach the goal.
• Budget: 78 ETH (10 allocated to giveways) for 9 people working for 5 months.

SUMMARY

After the success and funding of Nouns News Seasons 1-3, we have expanded our team and efforts to reach a wider audience.

Our strategy is focused on Top of Funnel marketing tactics, to capture as many eyes as possible with content that is entertaining, educational, and engaging.

Objectives

1. Drive awareness and favorability of Nouns DAO as an innovative leader in the web3 space.
2. Engage audiences outside of mainstream Web3 with Nouns brand.
3. Build an authentic perspective through content that drives deeper interest in Nouns DAO.

Strategy

TikTok is the platform for virality. Trending content on TikTok has the ability to inspire people to take action and learn more about Nouns. We will be focusing on staying on top of the trends and tying it into Nouns DAO and Nouns projects.

We have a 1M views goal we are trying to reach, but the opportunity goes beyond the metrics. It is about increasing brand awareness, favorability and engagement with other builders, community members and the general public to grow the brand in a positive light and maximize our social presence.

Innovation - A new vtube avatar will be designed and used with AI technology to create educational Nouns content. We will be updating our graphics, music and other branding elements.

Cross-Platform Approach - In order to connect with unique audiences across all platforms, we will repurpose content to each of our social channels (TikTok, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Website). This gives us greater opportunities to rank in search - within the platforms and on Google.

Collaborations - Partnering with other Nouns projects and communities to showcase their nounish products/ideas/initiatives (from IRL projects, like Nouns OTG and Nouns Treasure Hunts, to Nounish product launches, like merch/coffee/goods).

Contests & Giveaways - Giveaways are one of the most powerful content types, as they are a great entry point for new members. We’d like to continue hosting weekly or bi-weekly contests, with ETH prizes and/or nounish products from our collaborations. We’d like to focus not only on rewarding new members online, but also people who participate in public video shoots.
