UPDATE: Tasks Submitted by Candidates - C&M League’s Feedback
As said above in the previous messages, 3 candidates sent us their submissions of the task published last week before the deadline, and 1 candidate sent it after the deadline. Leagues will proceed to add them all as official candidates into the elections polls since they showed interest by submitting the tasks and gave us the opportunity to evaluate their profiles better.
Here’s the feedback from the C&M League for the following submissions:
-
It’s the opinion of C&M League that Jackson is an experienced growth marketer whose strategic approach might benefit Idle in restructuring the marketing activities. His structured approach to growth is something to be considered.
His experience in contributing to other DAOs and Discord communities seems on point with the approach of engaging the community, finding new distribution channels, and afterward leveraging the network effects of the community.
The only potential drawback is that in practice (given the assignment) it will take 6 weeks to complete the first research phase of the work (Community Clarity), and afterward even more to complete the customer profiles, define leveraged networks, and engagement hierarchy. It wasn’t clear when the execution part following the research phase could start. We would also have liked him to elaborate on the reason why the main focus channel would be Discord.
It’s the impression of the C&M League that Jackson’s vision of the role would be more strategic-focused - mapping out the ecosystem, discovering opportunities, and focusing on aligning current and new community incentives. While the execution part of the job isn’t quite clear, Jackson, with his experience and strategic approach, could be considered a valuable contributor to the C&M League.

@luke
Luke seems more oriented towards community management rather than growth marketing. As it could be argued that growth in web 3.0 space = community growth, Luke could be considered an amazing contributor to the C&M League.Luke attended Idle DAO office hours for a consultation and asked his questions. He showed passion, energy, and a will to learn. He also expressed the attitude of growing the community in a more natural way by providing value to the users and teaching them.
The lack of experience is an obvious potential drawback that could be compensated with the passion and dedication Luke is showing. He touched base with NFT and DeFi projects as well as DAOs.

Ediri has vast experience in the cryptocurrency market, and probably good contacts in the space.
It is the opinion of the C&M League that he would not be best suited for this role, as the role looking to be filled is more marketing-focused. Also, Ediri showed interest in expanding the B2C network, while Idle has a very important segment of B2B (in integrators, DAO treasury managers etc). However, we’d like to see Ediri apply for an advisor role (if that’s something he’d be willing to consider).
His contacts in the space and experience with the business development aspect of blockchain could be something that could benefit Idle DAO.

Has proven experience in community management and administration. Specialized in influencer marketing and PR. Avi participated in the Idle DAO office hours thereby showing his willingness to put in the effort and showed great experience in using influencers’ paid services.
Overall, while Avi can provide short-term brand recognition with his marketing tactics, the C&M League has concerns about the required skill set for long-term and healthy growth because of the focus on using paid influencers. Idle DAO strategy is directed towards other types of marketing campaigns.
While there is no doubt in Avi’s experience in running short-term growth tactics (as showcased in the assignment), there is a potential drawback in reducing the quality of Idle’s content and communication while attracting the audience looking to pursue quick pumps. As C&M League we believe this candidate is not fitting with the current marketing strategy of Idle DAO.
All the submissions of the candidates are available publicly here.
Advisors
Application from @Bhh and application from @dianarichter
Both these candidates seem promising thanks to their combined experience in product design, marketing, and brand management (as well as working with influencers and working on PR). With their proven experience and previous knowledge about Idle products and DAO, these advisors could be very beneficial for the Idle DAO.
