Content: @bigbull we are progressing very well and have been getting alot more engagement as we release more content.
In the last few months we have had 6 brands complete the online form and we have had many brands reach out via DM’s to have their products featured. Many of those brands already accept apecoin, and several we have had to help onboard to Depay.
Here is an updated graphic showing our analytics for the last few months.

Content: Hi BigBull!
Thanks for reading our AIP, as noted in the graphic and throughout the AIP the creative agency will be responsible for all post production on the videos we publish. This involves taking the raw footage we film and editing the video. This would allow for the creation of 2 long form videos, and 6 short form videos per month with the agency.
The creative agency would also manage all of our content. This involves ensuring posts happen on a regular cadence, building and maintaining our content calendar, posting to each platform, engaging with other accounts, replying to posts that are made to grow our following, and ensuring all copy fits our brand image.
Finally, each long form video requires a thumbnail along with other graphics that are used within the videos. The creative agency will be responsible for creating all of the graphics to ensure clean branding that stands out and captures attention/engagement.
As for the paid promotion, if you have ever built a company it requires paid ads to get in front of people. We have allocated $ 2 , 000 /mo for paid promotion. Which we will use google ads and the X platform to promote our videos. This will create recognition for apecoin and all builders utilizing apecoin as a form of payment. This amount of capital is actually very little when considering the ad spend budget and the retainer fee for any agency that is experts in SEO, engagement, and google/x ad management experts.
Why hire an agency?
Currently we pay the agency $ 400 /mo to produce four reels for us per month. They are much more capable of producing higher quality content that has a better engagement than we will. Currently, I edit all long form content now which takes me 4 - 6 hours each.
By delegating this portion of the process out we will be able to produce better content at a regular cadence that represents apecoin better and will increase the adoption of brands.

AIP-440: Enhancing Exposure of Brands that accept ApeCoin as payment: Unboxing Web3 Partnership Proposal

Content: PROPOSAL NAME:
Enhancing Exposure of Brands that accept ApeCoin as payment: Unboxing Web 3 Partnership Proposal
TEAM DESCRIPTION:
We are Tony Casoria (Guccheetah) and Dylan Brodigan (Cryptodilly) from MBA Brand Unboxing Web 3 (MBA # 00462 ). Both Guccheetah and Cryptodilly have been active content creators in the Web 3 space for years. They are original members of Yugalabs’ Project 10 KTF (OG) and serve as official members of 10 KTF local media. Additionally, they are active members of BAYC. Prior to joining forces on Unboxing Web 3 , Cryptodilly ran the popular weekly YouTube series “Speculation Alley” ( 111 videos/ 1000 subscribers) as part of 10 KTF local media, while Guccheetah contributed under the project name “Fake News Tokyo”. Guccheetah also founded MBA Brand House OG (MBA # 10000 ).
Unboxing Web 3 is a series on YouTube and X that debuted in November 2023 , dedicated to educating, showcasing, and reviewing various products within the Web 3 space. So far, Unboxing Web 3 has released 44 videos reviewing products from esteemed companies such as **Gucci, Nike/RTFKT, PUMA, BAPE, BAYC, and various MBA brands, some of which accept ApeCoin as payment.
Unboxing Thumbnails 1500 × 844 158 KB
In its six months since inception, Unboxing Web 3 has garnered over 18 , 000 views and over 150 subscribers on YouTube.
The most impressive is our overall reach since we started posting to X, (Formerly twitter). Since then we have amassed over 50 , 000 views across all platforms.
PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION
ApeCoin is a promising concept with significant potential, but for ApeCoin to truly flourish, its utility needs to expand. Increasing ApeCoin adoption as a payment option for brands is essential for enhancing its utility. Brands that integrate ApeCoin as a payment option should be rewarded, and those that haven’t yet should be encouraged to do so. This proposal not only rewards current brands accepting ApeCoin but also motivates other brands to follow suit. Currently, over 400 Made By Apes (MBA) brands exist, but not many accept ApeCoin—this needs to change.
With a proven track record of crafting high-quality content and showcasing the work of builders within the space, our objective is to leverage our skills to elevate all brands operating within Web 3 .

To achieve this, we will categorize our approach into several key areas:
Editing & Production
Time Compensation
Product Acquisition
Our mission begins with establishing a content calendar that spotlights individual brands that accept ApeCoin, with a priority for Made By Apes brands. This involves setting transparent guidelines, managing brand expectations, fostering meaningful partnerships, and generating content for the ApeCoin ecosystem.
The Unboxing Web 3 team has already featured numerous brands within the ApeCoin ecosystem. This is achieved by collaborating with brands that accept ApeCoin as currency, showcasing the physical products they offer as digital-native brands.
Previous Videos 1285 × 797 157 KB
The desired outcomes include:
Creating content for brands that may lack resources.
Producing high-quality content for increased exposure.
Developing a transparent content calendar with deadlines for deliverables.
Producing a series of videos that spotlight builders that are utilizing ApeCoin as an option to purchase.
Apecoin logo in all videos produced for this series, to represent sponsorship “powered by Apecoin”
Supporting builders within the Apecoin ecosystem by purchasing and showcasing their products.
Giveaways of selected brands to increase exposure.
We propose to continue creating Unboxing videos for as many brands that accept ApeCoin as possible, without cost to the brands themselves. Each Unboxing episode will educate viewers on the project and its products, providing guidance on how to follow and purchase these products, with an emphasis on using ApeCoin as the chosen currency.
BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:
The ApeCoin focused Unboxing Web 3 series aligns with the ApeCoin DAO’s mission to foster community-led projects that inject culture into the metaverse. This series will bring exposure to brands that accept ApeCoin and ApeCoin-funded projects by narrating the stories of these brands, and showcasing their products or services.
By highlighting successful Apecoin accepting projects, this initiative will:
Amplify the marketing efforts of these brands, raising awareness within the community and beyond about products and services that accept ApeCoin as payment.
Drive adoption of all brands utilizing IP from brands accepting of apecoin by presenting real-world examples of its successful integration into business. i.e. Animoca Brands, Yuga Labs, etc.
Generate revenue for brands through increased sales resulting from video content showcasing purchasing instructions and in-depth product/service reviews.
Offer valuable exposure for featured projects and the individuals behind them, promoting their ventures and attracting new customers or potential investors.
Attract new members to projects using their IP by showcasing diverse creative opportunities for IP use cases.
Enhance internal and external communication with these brands and increase community engagement with them.
PLATFORMS & TECHNOLOGIES:
All episodes will be filmed, edited in HD, and distributed on X, YouTube, and Instagram. Each featured brand will receive one long-form unboxing video (approximately 10 minutes) and two short-form videos ( 1 - 2 minutes each).

What will they be doing and why is this outsourced?
What about budget for online advertising? As good content is nice but the value is related to the number of people that see it.
