Introduction
For our general operating costs (PR company, articles, interviews, graphics/videos, staff payments) we are requesting a total of 115,739 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, this month we are focusing on the launch of Syscoin 4.2. Our aim is to get Syscoin and the SPTs added to the major exchanges and wallets from the outset, or very soon after.
Community Growth
White Sock Squad
As many of you know we started 2021 with a new initiative called White Sock Squad.
We want to show outsiders we have an active and loyal group of Syscoin investors and enthusiasts, and that our numbers are growing by the day! Exchanges and other services are heavily focused on community size and, often more so, engagement.
WIth this in mind, we want to provide everyone with a way to help maximize our social media engagement. White Socks Squad (WSS) has been formed with the goal of increasing community participation to push Syscoin’s market exposure as far as we can. We will expand the scope of WSS in the coming months.
Syscoin LATAM
Since the start of Syscoin Latin America (LATAM) the team has been working hard on promoting Syscoin in their region, and it is paying off! Read the detailed Syscoin LATAM Recap ([here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Il1fbqAKci-_xoajnvFyR9g_VyB3vYtM2O_N0l3O9O0/edit?usp=sharing))
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.
Syscoin Brazil will continue to nurture Latin American business opportunities under the SMT flag, creating valuable partnerships in an expanding territory, as well as bringing potential Exchange listings.
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
Budget for February
We are requesting 115,739 SYS this coming round of governance funding.
