Polkadot Growth Initiative

- Polkadot’s social media accounts are managed by a group called the Editorial Board (EB), which has five members.
- They help create content and ensure the brand message is consistent.
- The EB is funded with money to pay each member 2,500 USDT per month for six months.
- The money will be controlled by a special multisig account to ensure safety.
- The EB aims to increase engagement and reach for Polkadot's social media.
- The first EB was successful, leading to more followers and interaction on social media.
- Applications for the second EB were collected and interviews were held to choose the best members.

TLDR;
The management of Polkadot&rsquo;s social media accounts is decentralized. Multiple entities contribute content, including <a href="https://x.com/et90266">ET90266</a>, the Polkadot Social Media Editorial Board (EB), and Distractive. The EB has five members. This proposal is to fund their salary for their 6 month term (September 15th - March 15th). Each of the five members will receive 2,500 USDT per month.
Background
<ul>
<li>Polkadot&rsquo;s social media accounts are legally owned by Web3 Foundation. The Foundation has entrusted ET90266 to manage the accounts and delegate access to them.Announcement from W3F <a href="https://medium.com/@web3/decentralized-futures-meet-evan-thomas-253a65327f96">here</a>.</li>
<li>EB Announcement on 𝕏: <a href="https://twitter.com/Polkadot/status/1767188772595081305">https://twitter.com/Polkadot/status/1767188772595081305</a></li>
<li>ET90266 works closely with the EB and Distractive for content creation and to ensure message/brand alignment.</li>

</ul>
Should this be funded by the Marketing Bounty?
<ul>
<li>A proposal to refund the Marketing Bounty recently passed. However the Marketing Bounty is not yet accepting proposals, and will not begin making payouts until December at the earliest.</li>
<li>In the future, the community may enact a Wish-for-Change stating that all marketing-related proposals go through the Marketing Bounty. In that case, a proposal like this may go through the Marketing Bounty if the community feels that is the appropriate channel.</li>
<li>By going directly through OpenGov, the Editorial Board answers to the community and not the curators of a bounty.</li>
</ul>
The First Editorial Board
The first EB ran from March 15th, 2024 - September 15th, 2024. During that time, Polkadot&rsquo;s account saw impressive growth in reach and engagement.
