Simple Summary
The past 5 years, as the first French speaking crypto related media in the world, we’ve been looking to join the concrete community of the main actors of the blockchain ecosystem, raising and boosting mass adoption of all the different services and projects the technology can bring on the table, like infrastructures layer 1/2/3, DeFi, NFT, and so …
Our project today is to become the main lever to raise the reputation and increase the 1inch community among the French speaking public. To do so we have a lot to offer.
We have at our disposal many communication tools on various networks (social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin, Discord, Instagram … Videos on platforms such as Youtube, Twitch, TikTok … our website journalducoin.com) that allow us to create effective strategies in the long term to impose 1inch in the French-speaking world (300 million people speak French in the world). I’m sure you can figure out how this opportunity can bring our readers community to consider 1inch in terms of investment.
Since the creation of our media, we have progressed to become the largest French-speaking crypto media, and we will put our skills and experience at the service of the 1inch project to succeed in this new kind of promotion. We already have 1 million regular readers/month.
The objective of this Proposal is to offer 1inch DAO the possibility to commission a full year contents package and to educate French community to 1inch ecosystem in various ways and with all types of Journal du Coin contents.
- Abstract
The main objective is to introduce 1inch to our community, encourage them to use your services, and join the governance of voting protocol by staking your token. To achieve this, we will of course implement sophisticated and highly effective long-term communication strategies through all our means of communication :
- Press articles (for e. g. 1inch dévoile la v5 de son Router : les frais n’ont qu’à bien se tenir - Journal du Coin)
- Technical & data releases (kind of “Messari state of”) like this one, but in French : Osmosis Protocol Usage Report Q2 2023 | Messari
- Tutorial videos Tuto dYdX : tout savoir sur le DEX qui vous paie pour trader des cryptomonnaies - YouTube
- Podcasts, like this one Near, le futur OS du Web3 ? Entretien avec Marieke Flament - YouTube
- Interviews Rencontre avec Julien Niset co-fondateur d’Argent, le wallet essentiel pour Ethereum et ses L2 - YouTube
- Twitter Threads Mantle ecosystem presentation thread
- Short Tiktok videos Journal du Coin (@journalducoin) | TikTok
- Instagram Bubbles Journal du Coin (@lejournalducoin) • Instagram
- Social network campaign (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc …,) Facebook
- In the long term, gamification (Zealy strategies, Easter Eggs Hunt, Call to Action, Tokenization of articles (NFT), etc …)
Ultimately, we can offer a full editorial coverage to 1inch. The idea is to plan the 1inch promotional strategy for 1 year in direct collaboration with the team, and help our large and loyal community to become a pillar of the 1inch ecosystem.
- Motivation
First of all, with more than one million readers per month, we are undoubtedly the most important French-speaking media for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. We are an international team of about 20 people, and we work with many partners/DeFiprotocols/Layers 1-2-3 … that are spreaded all around the world.
Moreover we have a great expertise based on several years of experience, and a huge network since we are present on all the most popular social networks (facebook/Twitter/Discord/Linkedin/Instagram …) as well as video/podcast and streaming platforms (Youtube/Twitch/TikTok …).
Finally, we can rely on a French-speaking community of regular readers who appreciate and trust us since many years.
- Rationale
As this is a long-term content delivery and community building project, we can give this example running on a 1 year schedule:
-
2 long format articles (tutorial, technology review, interview)
-
8 Press Releases (PR)
-
2 technical & data State Of (full periodic ecosystemic review, as the Messari “State Of” series)
-
2 Videos JDC (interview or tailor made explaining the protocol as a tutorial on 1inch or ecosystem)
-
8 short TikTok video contents on 1inch feature or ecosystem
-
Periodic 1inch report on Instagram (one every two weeks)
-
36 articles relay on the newsletter & Twitter/FB/Lkdn offered
-
36 retweets of important news from 1inch Twitter account (or ecosystem partners)
-
30 Backlinks on 1inch or ecosystem projects articles / pages per year
-
2 CTA Week (2 full weeks where Call to Actions - semantic or widgets - are pushed in every article published on the website during those weeks in order to redirect to audience to 1inch products, wallet, delegation and ecosystem)
-
3 newsletter sponsoring weeks (50k readers daily)
-
4 weeks banner display on the homepage of the website
-
Considerations
Increasing user literacy, development of the DeFi industry and decentralization. To give everyone who wants to understand the topic of decentralized finance and 1inch products an opportunity to do it for free.
- Cost
Financially, we need $120,000 (USDC) for an entire year to launch all the promotional items included in this partnership.
But we will also occasionally need a direct communication channel, media & technical support, press releases, visuals, exclusive announcements, opportunities to meet with executives for interviews, and all the human and logistical support you can provide us. It is possible that in order to scale up in terms of communication and promotion we will make a new request in the medium term, but we do not yet have sufficient data to estimate the amount.
- Conclusion
We are in a long-term approach since the birth of our media. We have been able to find the means of our survival and our significant development for all these years. Today we are building a new model that will lead to a stronger involvement of our team, but especially of our community, at the heart of the 1inch protocol. It’s a virtuous circle that benefits all participants, and draws its strength from this mutual and shared benefit. Have no doubts, we will be able to sustain the whole strategy perfectly.
