The AIP proposal for "The Apemobile - Guerrilla marketing meets a KOL partnership" was initially rejected but has been resubmitted with updates. It involves using a BMW (previously Porsche) for marketing by combining guerrilla tactics with a KOL partnership. The proposal aims to leverage the web3 space and Kodama.eth's influence for brand exposure. The initiative is cost-effective, engaging, and intended to differentiate ApeCoin. It details the benefits, steps for implementation, and cost breakdown, with the car to be resold after 3 years, with proceeds returning to the DAO.
DavidW: This is a cool idea and it sounds like you’re definitely the guy to do it.
kodama:
Sports cars have always had a special status in society and especially in crypto.
Definitely true. Lambos are especially loved. You mentioned a BMW or Porsche. Why not a lambo?
kodama:
My initial AIP was a thriller and approved until 1 minute before the voting deadline.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, however, it did not pass
Would it be possible to expand on what happened?
kodama:
KPIs: Engagement and reach on various social media channels.
Number of content pieces created.
Will any metrics be baked into the proposal? Also, will there be oversight from a third party such as the MarComms Working Group?
kodama: Hello Mr. Manakel,
thanks for your thoughtful comment. I assume you have read the Resubmission Updates on top of the AIP?
kodama:
I have since collected feedback and updated my resubmission.
The Apemobile will now be a BMW instead of a Porsche.
The ask is updated and now also shown in USD.
5k USD more??? WHY??? Let me help you ser
Since the BMW models have more horse power than the Porsche, insurance and taxes are slightly higher each month.
Sincerely,
your kodama

An ApeCoin branded BMW (an M3, 4, or 8 Competition)
Most likely an M4 Competition and it will be bought & registered in Austria/Vienna.

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,
@kodama has Resubmitted AIP- 459 , has opted to forgo the seven-day community discussion phase, and has completed editing their AIP Idea to be their AIP Draft.
This proposal has been assigned the AIP ID Number 502 .
Follow this Topic as further updates will be posted here in the comments.
Kind Regards,

kodama: I initially chose a Porsche because it holds its value very well and at the end of the 3-year period the sales proceeds go back to the DAO.
BMW was added because Yuga Labs has a partnership with them (ApeFest HK 2023 e.g.) and exciting synergies could arise here.
Thriller because the AIP was winning and in the last minute a big voter that was inactive for 2 month came out of nowhere and voted against -.-
On top of that another even bigger voter broke his cold wallet and could not restore it in time. With his vote the AIP would have easily passed in the first place.
There will be reporting on the events/meetups/etc visited and also transparency on the performance on socials. There will be no oversight from a third party. Implementation is difficult and tbh the content is publicly viewable every week anyways.

Hi @kodama
It’s not clear what will happen to the custom number plate? Will the proceeds of the sale of this be returned to the DAO also?
kodama: I do not think a custom APE license plate will have any value. If it has value and I can resell it - I will return the proceeds to the DAO as well. However, I have not heard of a custom license plate secondary market yet tbh.

Hopefully fails even quicker this time around.
I’m thinking we move what excess treasury there is left to the banana bill and put a stop to all this nonsense “in the name of marketing” every two weeks.

BMW just don’t cost this much, even an M 850 i is less than 100 k. Not buying your claim that insurance is greater for a BMW. Engine size is just one of many factors and if that’s adding 5 k then I wonder how much of a risk the insurance company see. This is also a significant risk for the APEcoin brand. It isn’t a company car that only does company business. God forbid, you have an accident, and someone gets hurt; what then!
For me, it just sets a poor tone for the DAO to give out brand new personal cars in the name of marketing.
Its unnecessary marketing that could end really badly.
