# Private Voting Marketing Plan

## What success looks like

1. Teams that decided to apply should have great UX
2. All relevant people should be aware this is happening

## Applicant UX

* Discord onboarding requires further thinking and optimization
* a read-only welcome channel?
* assign helper roles to certain people like david and 40?
* We should reach out to anyone we're aware of and suggest an intro call

## Raising awareness

Channels:

1. [ZK pod](https://linktr.ee/zeroknowledge) channels plug
1. pod
2. newsletter
3. TG channel (anyone can post)
2. ZK TGs & Discords (zk folks are less active on twitter relative to NFT / DeFi folks)
1. zk pod TG and Discord
2. [iden3 TG](https://t.me/iden3io)
3. [delendum TG](https://t.me/+9WAAmCpPRadjOTNh)
4. 0xPARC Discord (Lakshman can post; it's not open)
5. EF's privacy group (Lakshman currently feels we should avoid)
3. ZK influencers (e.g. Anna Rose, Alex Pruden) sharing on twitter / their private channels
1. we could do a twitter space with one or more of them, talking about the current state of private voting, why this project is exciting
4. ZK orgs sharing with their partners / staff and online (e.g. 0xPARC)
5. Nouners sharing on twitter to increase serendipity
6. An NFT open edition, where buyers signal their support for this project and buy provenance that they were here in the early days of figuring out private voting for DAOs
