@neardevgov.near [Posted on Developer DAO Board](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=244) ## Idea: Request for Proposal (RFP): Marketing Support for Developer Governance ### Introduction Since launching NEAR Developer Governance several months ago, we’ve reached an exciting point with a growing number of projects and organizations involved. As a small team within our DeveloperDAO, we have been working hard to keep the community informed about our progress. However, with the increasing number of marketing channels and needs, we are reaching out to the community for help. We need marketing and community experts to help us communicate and amplify the success of the projects built through the Developer Governance. We are looking for experts who understand the NEAR developer community and can effectively communicate technical achievements and their impact. Additionally we are looking for help with communicating our vision and amplifying the Developer Governance presence, with the goal of engaging more technical experts and leaders, which will lead to more engaging technical discussions and completed projects. In short, we are looking for two types of services: 1) **Marketing campaigns** to help highlight various projects or narratives. Here the examples of the projects and discussions that we would’ve asked you to amplify: [MyNEARWallet transition](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=78), progress of the ongoing Zero-Knowledge projects, alternative implementation of NEAR protocol in TypeScript, etc; 2) A **monthly retainer** for a fixed amount with a variety of marketing support, such as creating and maintaining content deliverables across our digital channels, from Twitter threads to blog posts, newsletters, and targeted ads, to bring new developers into the Developer Governance. We might ask you to use a specific URL for your campaign to measure its effectiveness, e.g.: https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Ideas?campaign=zkpromotion202302; ### Bidding Process To bid, please post your proposal as a “solution” reply to this idea by **Friday, Mar 10, 2023**. Your proposal should include: - Your proposed solution for supporting our marketing needs. Please provide example metrics to measure success; - For campaigns, a cost range and an approximate scope of support. For marketing of Developer Governance itself, we would ask for a more detailed cost and scope breakdown; - Background information about your team, including company name, location, point of contact, and areas of expertise. Please highlight why your team is best suited to support us; - Examples of past marketing initiatives and results, including any experience working in the NEAR ecosystem and/or open source projects. ### Selection Process DeveloperDAO will review the proposals and follow a similar process to the one we used for the [MyNEARWallet transition](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=78). Evaluation criteria may include: - Understanding of our ecosystem and target audience; - Track record and success of past initiatives; - Quality of proposed marketing plan & communication; - Cost-effectiveness. ### Funding Process DeveloperDAO will select the team and supervise the funding distribution process. Please note that the chosen experts will need to go through KYC to receive funding allocation.
