Let's talk about PR and MARKETING

Please like this post if you agree with it to let the SKALE team know that it is an important issue.

I am willing to bet that most people are really frustrated with the lack of web marketing of this project. I don’t want to make huge waves here, although I would love to do that, but let’s begin with a standard approach to digital marketing that actually works. Here is my suggestion

TO BE DONE EVERY MONTH

  1. Post at least 2 PR articles about tech, partnerships, integrations, future developments, etc. in crypto publishing networks where news is syndicated across many known publications (BUDGET - $1000 per month)

  2. Post at least 1 PR article in investing networks (BUDGET - $300)

  3. Post at least 1 PR article in normal press (BUDGET - $100)

  4. Post at least 2 new videos on video platforms - FREE

  5. Post fragments of releases and links to publications across all your social channels. (Also, create more channels)

I feel like right now is the perfect time to start this marketing process. Consistency is the key!

Hey :slightly_smiling_face:

I think we publish a lot of great content on the website and share it on Twitter, but it doesn’t seem to get much attention.

We could start reposting this content to the SKALE Forum so it’s easier to access and engage with.

Personally, I’m not too enthusiastic about new platforms — many of them feel like infomercials, to be honest.

If we focus on promoting the forum, it could become a strong news source on its own. ETHResearch and the Solana Forum have contributed significantly to the success of their ecosystems.

For the sake of this project and its future, it’s best to take personal feelings out of the equation.

The lack of new users and falling popularity speaks for itself. It’s a hard statistic and a huge warning sign.

You can also publish your releases on the Skale website, X and here, but that is a small drop in an ocean of information.

What I suggested is the bare minimum!

The next step would be influencer marketing and getting someone famous to become a part of the marketing vehicle.

You guys are falling behind in marketing because you hold on to an outdated belief that it is some type of a gimmick and a lie and if the product is good enough, people will find it. Be that as it may, with today’s information overload, people’s short attention span and myriad of options, it’s actually necessary to make the effort to reach out to people and leave a lasting impression on them.

It makes even more sense, when the project is solid.

The good part is that you can quickly improve your marketing by following what has worked and is working for many successful crypto projects and other online businesses.

Stan, you publish a post on X about a groundbreaking BITE protocol and you get a few likes. It’s just sad. If the project was well marketed you’d be getting at least thousands of likes within minutes. Are you really going to leave all this industry attention because of some notion you or your team hold about wider marketing?

Hey @baka - can you provide more specifics about video platforms etc we could use ?

$1500 per month on PR marketing to spread the word across media channels is really not a lot! It’s the cheapest and best marketing you can do right now. You need to hurry!

Stan, give me any budget you have and I will do this for you. I will choose right channels and frequency for optimal exposure and write the release for your approval. What do you think?

Hey — unfortunately, I am an engineering guy and don’t really handle the marketing budget.

Msg me your email, and I’ll connect you to our marketing team.

Hi Stan, I sent you my email few days ago and nobody contacted me. Do you even have a proper marketing team?

Anyway, it’s all good, I am quite busy as it is. But maybe just order your existing marketing team to publish SKALE related articles on crypto related news websites. Alternatively use a publishing service. Here is a list of the biggest and most read crypto channels measured by user engagement and traffic. Put your news articles there (not on your website) and this project and your innovations will get a lot more attention from the right audiences.

Hey - just passed it to them. Sorry - it was a bit of a crunch last couple of days

BITE got lots of good PR pick up:

https://cryptonews.com/news/skale-labs-reveals-new-protocol-to-combat-1-8-billion-mev-problem/

ok Jordan, I don’t think you understand how PR works if you relying on ‘PR pick up’. These few links are not at all impressive. I prey you’re not in charge of the PR and marketing of Skale. You guys need a professional with experience, definitely not a coder or someone who just read a few marketing books. You need a branding and advertising expert. That’s just a fact.

Recognize this! Many far greater companies, huge companies like Kodak, Snapchat, Altavista, etc… lost their dominance and market share or got completely taken out by competition because they failed in marketing and PR.

You are offering 2 mil as grants for game developers but you won’t spend $500 on wider PR of this? This literally makes now sense.

Moreover, consider that all those news published across crypto news channels will also be very beneficial for your website’s SEO and search rankings.

It will also boost your social profiles and possibly bring in more clients.
