Summary :bookmark_tabs:

Assign JJ (Jacopo) as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for Spool DAO.

Background :dart:

JJ started working at Spool in February 2022 and acted as a CMO until May 2022. In those three months, he assembled the first marketing team for the project, organized the marketing campaign for the launch of Spool V1 (that happened in April), contributed to keeping the token price in a range between $3-$4 despite the start of the bear market and saw the TVR grow and reach the ATH of roughly $70M (excluding the DAO treasury).

In May 2022 a new CMO was appointed and JJ stepped down and kept working hard in the background as the Head of Blockchain Marketing while also overseeing (together with the CMO) the UI/UX design of V2.

When the CMO resigned in late February 2023, JJ led the Arbitrum campaign for Spool and the initial teasers of V2 until May 2023, taking care of the comarketing with partners and overseeing the social media among other activities. During these 3 months, Spool marketing was particularly active and the token price moved from $0.26 to roughly $1.

He is currently working in the marketing team in the background.

Proposal :mailbox:

Assign JJ as the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer)

Monthly Compensation: $9000 USDC + 3500 SPOOL tokens as a bonus with the contingency that the bonus is subjected to KPIs to be proposed and voted on by the SpoolDAO community.

Areas of Responsibility:
The CMO will generally be responsible for a hard-working and efficient marketing team within Spool. This includes:

  • Define and oversee all Spool marketing activities

  • Organise and supervise comarketing with partners (brought by the BD team), PR (if needed), AMAs and interviews

  • Marketing team recruitment, management, and training
  • Establish marketing policies that promote Spool and its vision.

In endorsing JJ, the community advocates for an individual with proven dedication, extensive experience, and a deep commitment to elevating Spool. Your trust and support in him would not only be an acknowledgment of his past efforts but also an investment in Spool’s future.
