Proposal to fund Bankless sponsorship(s)

I’m reposting my reply to “The Bankless ad is in need of a visual revamp” here for completeness. https://dao2.rocketpool.net/t/the-bankless-ad-is-in-need-of-a-visual-revamp

I second @wasserbrunner 100% and would even propose to offer a grant for a person or group to revamp this ad as soon as possible. It’s better than nothing but we honestly can’t be satisfied with this result. Not if we spend $150k to target an audience of >50k viewers per week. The animations are horrible. There needs to be a comparison to other staking provides (and our decentralization advantages) that can be comprehended within seconds. Maybe a little table or something comparing centralizes exchanges, Lido, Rocketpool. We need to highlight the high number of nodes that are independendly operated by RP node operators.

The Bankless offer explicitly included the production of the ad but obviously didn’t mention the effort and resources that the Bankless team would spend on creating the ad. We also don’t have any information about the communication between Bankless and the Rocketpool team in the background. Has this been approved by Rocketpool?

I mean just look at the ad after our’s for across protocol. The divergence of the visuals couldn’t be more drastic. That’s elementary school vs. university. It clearly and concisely communicates their USP “faster, cheaper, more secure”.

Sorry for the rant, I’m also unable to offer any material support for ad production. But I very much appreciate @wasserbrunner stepping up and would support a pDAO grant for this (IMO up to 10% of the ad budget seems reasonable).
