Project Overview
- Description of the project: We are a coordinated marketing and exposure team aiming to increase exposure and awareness of newly launched cryptocurrency, specifically DeFi, projects.
- What problem is your project solving? A lack of market participants and engagement with the Ocean data marketplace.
- What is the final product? Posts on existing Defislate substack and twitter platforms. Content forms include podcasts, interviews, AMA’s, tutorials, and video demos.
- How does this project drive value to the Ocean ecosystem? The expected ROI of this project is driven by value added from new users and awareness of Ocean within the overall crypto ecosystem. ROI from new users is expressed as value driven to the data marketplace - increasing market participants and data flow through the marketplace. We use the “bang / buck * (% chance of success)” as the formula for expected ROI. With a $10k “buck” we can implement a marketing plan targeting new users in the thousands (see Performance & Engagement stats below). In addition to adding thousands of new users we will increase awareness of Ocean in the eyes of other protocol leaders to increase the chances of partnership and interoperability with other protocols.
Project Deliverables - Category

Project Deliverables - Roadmap
- Any prior work completed thus far? Of the deliverables listed above we have completed one interview to date with the Ocean core team.
- What is the project roadmap? Weekly implementation of content pieces described in Project Deliverables.
- Please include the milestones: Consistent growth of new users following each content piece. Expecting 500-1000 views per post depending on video/written piece and content vehicle (ie. substack, youtube, etc.). Conversion rate of 5-10% into new users onboarding to Ocean protocol we can expect growth in the hundreds of new users following in the initial 1-2 months of Action Plan. After 6 months of exposure marketing for Ocean we can expect >1000 new users and community members.
- Please include the team’s future plans and intentions. Continue engagement with Ocean protocol on social media including retweets, likes, engagement with posts. Continuously publish content pieces and interact with existing DeFi protocols to encourage cross-collaboration with Ocean protocol. Planning on DeFi Slate Summit where Ocean will be introduced as a speaker and head sponsor.
