THE PROPOSAL
After a successful proof of concept, we are ready to take over the city of Berlin with our Polkadot branded taxis.
With a population of 3.85M people, Berlin is a major hub for startups and tech companies as well as the home of the Börse Berlin aka Berlin Stock exchange.
Advertising blockchain technology is widely accepted in Berlin and we have secured an agency with plenty of experience deploying campaigns in this field.
THE CAMPAIGN
3 Months in duration
70 taxis branded with the Polkadot name, logo and QR code which will lead directly to polkadot.network
70 taxi headrest plaques located inside the vehicle with the same attributes as above.
Tentative start date of March 8th, 2024.
*Upon completion of the campaign, we will have the option to renew for another 3 months without the cost of re-branding the vehicles.
AD GROUPS & TARGET DEMOGRAPHICS
Tech Companies / Startups
Conference Attendees - Devops Days, AWS Summit, Dappcon 2024 will all be taking place during this timeframe
General Public

It's an excellent idea to give Polkadot more attention. And it starts with this kind of marketing to get into people's subconscious and attract new users over a long period. Your name needs to be heard or seen to get people interested. I like this and I think this type of advertising should be continued and more ideas like this should be implemented in the long run. Show people who you are and then seek you out over time because they have subconsciously seen you somewhere.
We should go for it!
