Introduction

For our general operating costs (PR company, articles, interviews, graphics/videos, staff payments) we are requesting a total of 305981 SYS.

What’s Next for the Syscoin Marketing Team?

In addition to the ongoing work by SMT such as social media management, business development, news updates, etc, we are focusing on a few different events and goals, some of which are in collaboration with other Syscoin teams such as Foundation and SAC, and partners Like ITSA, Corion, and more.

Community Growth

Syscoin Platform has set goals to have more USDT, BUSD and other stablecoin pairs and listings of Syscoin and SPT’s on the top US and Asia-based exchanges. For these, it is important that we show an active and growing community (Discord, Telegram, Twitter). Community growth is an important criteria to reach these goals.
This is why we have increased our effort to grow the community this past month, and will continue to do so in the coming months. This effort includes AMA’s like we recently did with Binance English and Spanish, (social media) giveaways, trading competitions, and more.
Events such as Bitconf 2020 Brazil where Syscoin was represented, and other upcoming (online) events with other industry leaders, will help grow awareness and the community.

Expand digital footprint

Now that the digital footprint of Syscoin is firmly established (Google, Syscoin, Click news, etc) we plan to maintain and expand it with relevant articles and thought-leader pieces that highlight Syscoin, its use cases and developers. We will also keep an Adwords campaign running to bolster marketing activities. This is the basic foundation we need to maintain for Syscoin Ethereum Bridge and Syscoin Platform itself to remain prominent on the news sites.

Business development, direct outreach

To further promote adoption we will continue reaching out directly to ERC-20 projects, blockchain consultancy and development companies, and other companies that would benefit from using our bridge and platform.

Bounties

We have run a successful bounty campaign that created a good amount of attention and resulted in two partnerships. Our next plan is to run a simpler bounty that will attract a wider audience towards adopting Syscoin Bridge.

Education

We have a strong focus on education; we have partnered up with Blockgeeks a leading blockchain education platform, and we will educate their users on the Bridge and other Syscoin Platform features using webinars and written guides, ([our first webinar was a great success already!](https://courses.blockgeeks.com/course/introduction-to-syscoin-platform-interoperability-scalability/))

We are currently also looking into other potential partnerships or platforms to optimally deliver education and awareness.

Events and Working Groups

As partners of [2Tokens](https://www.2tokens.org/) and [ITSA](https://itsa.global/) we are joining working groups and events on a regular basis. We will also resume hosting live events with some of our partners when it is possible to do so.

Other Ongoing Work

Redesign of Syshub and Sysnode and integration on Syscoin.org
Inbound sale websites to attract leads to use Syscoin Platform
Provisioning ERC-20 SPT variants
