Short description: The media and marketing plan to bring the brand awareness and community influence on a broader group of general blockchain audience.

Brief Introduction

Winkrypto proposes to provide a customized media and marketing service package to boost the brand recognition and community influence of Polkadot to a broader group of blockchain audiences in APAC through Winkrypto and ChainNews. Polkadot has gained good traction in the Polkadot audience but certainly, it has broad room to expand the media exposure and community awareness to the fast-growing broader general blockchain audience. Winkrpto and ChainNews (see the explanation of business relationship in the below section) are here to help to bring the general awareness of Polkadot in the Chinse-speaking community to another level.

Background

Winkrpto, together with ChainNews being the top blockchain media, can provide the top blockchain media and blockchain technology advocating service in APAC market, both to English and Chinese audience.

Why us?

ChainNews is the top tier professional blockchain media in Chinese speaking community. We have the top influence and resource to generate the best content with business insights and unique view and delivery the contents to the desired blockchain audience maximumly. Outperforming other blockchain marketing service providers, ChainNews aims to be the best service provider in this market sector.

What problem is the Treasury fund used to solve?

Polkadot gains pretty good traction in APAC marketing for the Polkdot audience in the time frame of late 2019 and the year of 2020. However the size of the general blockchain audience grows fast and there is still broad room for Polkadot to expand to gain the bigger size of the pie. WinKrypto as a top blockchain marketing service provider, together with ChainNews, the top professional blockchain media, is able to help Polkadot to achieve this goal and gain more audience in general blockchain pie. Winkrypto has the confidence to converte our business insight and deep understanding of the Asian market of the blockchain into the practical help and effective deliverables to Polkadot.

Winkrypto would design a customized yet comprehensive package to help Polkadot to gain wider exposure in media and community. We plans to generate the top quality content with the blockchain insider’s view and deliver these content through our media matrix for the maximum coverage of the blockchain audience in the APAC market. We will also provide the deliverable and the performance report (ok to work with your local team to design the performance tracking mechanism) periodically.
