geonic submits CCS proposal for MoneroTopia 2024 marketing campaign

geonic1 has submitted a CCS proposal2 looking to run a marketing and publicity campaign for the upcoming MoneroTopia3 event that will take place between November 14-17 in Mexico City:

As discussed in the previous community meeting, I am proposing that we spend the unused funds from the last Monero Outreach CCS4 on marketing & publicity for Monerotopia 2024, which starts next Thursday. I would be the key point of contact for the PR firm and will provide a final report on what’s been achieved.

Total funding: 36.68 XMR.

ETA: <1 week.

Mexico-based publicity firm Estrategia Blue5 has recently submitted a proposal6 and are apparently ready to start [work] today. Cake’s Vik Sharma7 has agreed to handle the payment and receive the XMR at no surcharge.

To read the full proposal, share your feedback, ask questions and support this CCS, consult !5152.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.


Update 24/11/9: Vik contributed $6K to the project; proposal ‘pre-approved’ by community8.

Update 24/11/28: merged/completed.
