Please describe your proposed solution.

The proposed solution will include a full marketing blitz aimed at onboarding dRep's and explaining the incentives and strategies for success as an dRep. Will include out reach on Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit, using artistic methods to spread awareness. we will also set up interviews, discussions, appearances, on as many platforms and community groups and members as possible. Fractal Fuzion will also host marathon twitter spaces to increase engagement.

This initiative would provide valuable education to current and potential dRep's. Many Cardano users are unaware of project catalyst and dRep role specifically. Outreach and marketing for educational and promotional purposes would be a great improvement / benefit to project Catalyst. All content will be open source creative commons and can be used as educational tools in the future to keep growing catalyst and the dRep role specifically.

Fractal Fuzion has a unique insight into advancing the edges blockchain technology which helps develop our communities skills. This type of interaction plays a role in our communities ability to understand technology and gives them relevant skills to compete in a changing technological environment. Fractal Fuzion also promotes lifelong learning opportunities because of the work we do in information and communications technology.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This will develop tools for the Cardano dRep program, also delivering massive improvements to dRep understanding of how the program operates.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

The main challenges to this initiative would be to not create interesting high quality content. I think that is one of the most important aspects of this campaign. It cannot be boring, has to be really fun and engaging. Project Catalyst has a lot of good information and resources but does not have enough outreach into the community.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

The 1rst phase will Last approx. 1 month and will set up the infrastructure of the campaign. We will design all of the marketing materials including comprehensive Videos, logos, banners, 3d, AR, CNFT content. During this period we will also set up interviews, discussions, appearances, on as many platforms and community groups and members as possible.

The 2nd Phase will coincide with the fund 10 of Catalyst and will be aimed at onboarding and educating quality community advisors. The marketing blitz will focus on finding active Cardano community members in their respective online ecosystems. The marketing will deploy all of the materials that were made in phase 1 and will execute the full schedule of appearances, discussions, and interviews.

The 3rd Phase will include recording progress of the entire campaign. will document the highlights into a CNFT that will be distributed as a record of information about the campaign. Make available free of charge to everyone to further push the information / educational reference materials into the community. This should be finished about the same time as Catalyst Fund 10 Concludes.

Success would mean to have a robust marketing strategy that captivates the audience and increases awareness about the dRep role in project catalyst.
