Unleashing the Power of NFT Influencer Marketing: A Revolutionary Approach to Digital Advertising
2023.06.08 09:30 blzyadam Unleashing the Power of NFT Influencer Marketing: A Revolutionary Approach to Digital Advertising
| The rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has revolutionized the way we perceive and interact with digital assets. NFTs have opened up new avenues for artists, content creators, and brands to monetize their work and engage with their audience. One such groundbreaking application is NFT influencer marketing, a concept that combines the power of NFTs and influencer marketing strategies to create impactful digital advertising campaigns. ➡️ Exploring the Synergy Between NFTs and Influencer Marketing To comprehend the significance of NFT influencer marketing, it is crucial to understand its two fundamental components: NFTs and influencer marketing. NFTs are unique digital assets that are stored on blockchain networks, allowing for verifiable ownership and scarcity. On the other hand, influencer marketing is a strategy that leverages the influence and reach of individuals with a dedicated following to promote products, services, or ideas. NFT influencer marketing combines the benefits of both, creating a synergistic relationship. ➡️ Enhancing Authenticity and Credibility One of the key advantages of NFT influencer marketing is its ability to enhance authenticity and credibility. NFTs provide a transparent and immutable record of ownership, ensuring that the promoted content is genuine and not subject to alteration. This adds a layer of trust and legitimacy to the influencer's endorsement, strengthening the bond between the influencer and their audience. The unique nature of NFTs also creates exclusivity, making the promoted content more desirable and sought after. ➡️ Engaging and Rewarding the Audience NFT influencer marketing introduces a novel way to engage and reward the audience. By associating unique NFTs with promotional campaigns, influencers can create interactive experiences for their followers. These NFTs can be used as giveaways, limited edition collectibles, or access tokens to exclusive content, creating a sense of excitement and exclusivity. The audience not only gets a chance to own a piece of digital art but also becomes an active participant in the influencer's journey, fostering a deeper connection. ➡️ Unlocking New Revenue Streams For content creators and artists, NFT influencer marketing presents an opportunity to unlock new revenue streams. By collaborating with influencers, they can create and sell NFTs that showcase their work, generating additional income. Furthermore, influencers can earn royalties from the secondary sales of these NFTs, providing a sustainable source of revenue even after the initial promotion. This empowers creators to monetize their talent in innovative ways, reducing their reliance on traditional models. ➡️ Reshaping the Advertising Landscape NFT influencer marketing has the potential to reshape the advertising landscape as we know it. It enables brands to leverage the power of NFTs and influencers to create immersive and interactive campaigns that resonate with their target audience. By embracing this approach, advertisers can move away from traditional interruptive methods and focus on building meaningful connections with consumers. NFTs become a medium of expression, allowing brands to showcase their values, creativity, and unique offerings. ➡️ Conclusion NFT influencer marketing represents a paradigm shift in the way we approach digital advertising. By combining the authenticity and credibility of NFTs with the influence of content creators, brands can create impactful and engaging campaigns. This approach not only rewards the audience but also provides new revenue opportunities for artists and content creators. As NFTs continue to gain prominence, the potential of NFT influencer marketing to reshape the advertising landscape is immense. It's an exciting time for advertisers. https://preview.redd.it/zdcdfq2byq4b1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86e46e5ee12d72060f1606c0db7b8230c18fdb47 submitted by blzyadam to u/blzyadam [link] [comments] |

2023.06.08 06:08 aprillikesthings A report on my Camino
This got excessively long, sorry.
I mentioned it here before I left, but I did the Camino de Santiago! I walked from St. Jean Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela. Took me about 37 days. I walked about 780km/490miles.
First: It was an amazing experience. Lots of highs and lows, lots of amazing scenery, lots of amazing people, lots of amazing food and wine. If you're thinking of going: do it, if at all possible. At least once a day (usually more) I had a moment of thinking: I cannot believe I get to be here. I cannot believe I get to do this!
I mean, I also got blisters (repeatedly), lost a toenail (possibly two, we'll see), I had a panic over where I was going to sleep that night a few times, the hostels had hard beds and were full of people who snored and people who kept closing the windows no matter how stuffy/hot it was, I've been home a week and I'm still sometimes stiff when I get up after sitting for a while...but it was worth it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Secondly: while I really appreciated being able to go to Catholic masses at least twice a week and some of them were very moving, boy did it reinforce that I am Episcopalian and not Roman Catholic. The Vibe is just different. It's entirely possible that some of this is just the way Catholicism is done in Spain or even just that part of Spain, but even Sunday mass seemed...kinda perfunctory a lot of the time? I was surprised at how often they skipped the creed entirely, for instance. Communion was sometimes just put in a bowl that was passed around, and was only ever in one form--the priest drank some wine, but nobody else did. And we almost never sang?! I think there was maybe three times we did more than just a few alleluias before the gospel reading. Almost all of them did a pilgrims' blessing after the service, and the priests varied a LOT in how enthusiastic they were about this. Some just ended the service by reading it off at everyone there, some called us up afterward to ask where we were all from and make sure everyone heard or read the prayer in a language they knew. A Franciscan gave us all small stones with a yellow arrow hand-painted on them (he also preached a great sermon, based on what little English he spoke and what little Spanish I understood, as he went back and forth between languages). A group of nuns gave us colorful paper stars they'd cut out while praying for us. On the other hand, there were two churches where after the service, we got lectured on how the RC church is the only TRUE church of Jesus Christ. At one of them the priest specifically tried to convert me and a lovely retired gentleman who is CofE by telling us only the RC church had real apostolic succession, and I made eye contact with the CofE gent and we both nearly laughed. Oops. (The priest only spoke Spanish and was telling us this through a translator, which is probably a blessing because otherwise I don't know if I could've resisted replying with "Well we're both gay and don't think that's a sin, so I don't think you want us.")
(I did have a print-out of the mass in Spanish and English next to each other that I'd taped into my journal so I could follow along, which means I have learned some Spanish that is useless in daily conversation, lol. I also would pull up the readings for the RC lectionary in English on my phone--and there was multiple times I looked around and other pilgrims were doing the same. In related news: their daily readings are much shorter than the ones in our daily office lectionary!)
Thirdly, and possibly ironic considering my last point, I found that praying the rosary while walking (usually via a recording since I walked with trekking poles lol) was really meditative. I also found that when I was having a hard time walking (because it was hot, because my feet hurt, because I was tired, because I was lonely) it was useful to me to pray a decade of the rosary for other people? I would think of someone I cared about, then go into the Our Father etc, counting off the Hail Marys with my fingers; then think of another person, repeat. This had the positive side effect of loosening my death grip on my trekking poles and preventing numbness in my hands! It's funny that I started doing it as a way of distracting myself when I was not enjoying my walk, but when I look back some of my most spiritual moments were those times I was alone and sweaty and my feet were killing me, because I spent that time talking to God about (and asking the Virgin Mary to pray for) people I cared about. I also prayed for a few people I met on the Camino that I found personally unpleasant. This made it easier to be gracious with them when we were inevitably seated together at dinner another day. I should probably learn something from that, lol.
At churches doing daily mass in the evenings, they often did the rosary a half an hour before that. There was a couple of times that the people there (nearly always a handful of middle-aged and elderly Spanish women) were benignly confused by my presence until they saw the beads in my hand and my well-worn leaflet with directions and illustrations of the sets of mysteries. (I still can't say any of the prayers in Spanish, but at least I can usually tell which one they're doing!)
Third: there's an Anglican church and mission in Santiago! I was in Santiago for Pentecost, and while yes of course I went to mass at the cathedral (no huge incense swinging, alas) I also went to the tiny Eucharist at the Anglican mission--I think there was eight of us total including the priest, who was an American woman. But it was such a comfort to hear and say the words of liturgy that I know by heart. (And see a woman priest!) Her sermon connected the wind at Pentecost to the stream of pilgrims walking into the square in front of the cathedral, and noted that despite our different languages, we pilgrims understand each other's joy upon reaching Santiago.
The mission recently bought a pension (a bit like a small hotel or bed and breakfast) and I *think* they're accepting guests. I'm hoping that within the next few years I can spend some time volunteering there--I stayed in many hostels run by volunteers (sometimes locals, sometimes a church and/or nuns, sometimes another country's confraternity of St. James) and they were often my fave places to stay. More info on the mission:
https://www.anglicancentresantiago.org/ Fourth: I saw a ton of really old, really gorgeous churches. It sometimes seemed like every tiny village had a startlingly beautiful church (of the ones that were open--some were only open for mass on Sundays, or twice a month, or not at all). I think the oldest one I visited was the Church of Saint Mary of Eunate from the 12th century, but many churches had bits and pieces that were that old or older. My fave church was the Cathedral in Leon (built in the 13th century), which I paid to get into twice (they kicked us out for siesta) because it was so beautiful I kept crying. The stained glass is just spectacular, but honestly everything about it is gorgeous--the cloisters had a series of fresco paintings from (I think) the 1500's of events from the Gospels and Acts that were natural in expression.
The Leon cathedral had amazing wooden carvings in the choir--every seat has a carving of a person from the bible. Praying the daily office paid off unexpectedly: I recognized Saint Simeon, not from the Latin version of his name, or the fact that he was shown holding an infant Jesus, but because the gold lettering around his head started "nunc dimittus..." I could hear the Evening at the Office recording in my head: "Lord, you now have set your servant free, to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see; A Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel."
Fifth: So, St. James the Apostle. He's alllllll over the Camino, for obvious reasons. So many statues and paintings, from cute cartoony images in logos of local businesses, to heavily-gilded statues in many churches. I admit to being amused at how often he was portrayed as an older man with a beard, because he was (famously!) the first Apostle to be martyred--beheaded by a sword on Herod's orders in the book of Acts. He was mostly portrayed as a pilgrim--a pilgrim's cloak, hat with scallop shell, a walking staff and drinking gourd. In a few churches, he was also portrayed as The Moor-Slayer--on horseback with a sword, about to take off someone else's head. St. James the Pilgrim felt like a friend, St. James the Moor-Slayer definitely did not. St James did not, while alive, kill anyone that I'm aware of; but he's the patron saint of Spain in part because of his miraculous help in a battle against the Moors that historians are pretty sure never happened.
A lot of the legends about St. James in Spain are...unlikely. There's just too many instances of "funny how nobody discovered this/thought to write this down until three hundred years later, when it was useful for the church/the current king."
Which means that I've personally spent a lot of time pointing out to people that while it's doubtful his actual bones are in the cathedral at Santiago, it doesn't really matter--so many people have made genuine pilgrimage to Santiago to venerate him that the place has *become* sacred to St. James, y'know?
But speaking of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, there's a fascinating contrast between the altar, with its multiple statues of St. James and an insanely over-the-top gold retablo and huge baby-faced angels holding up a gold platform, upon which is an statue of St. James about to slaughter someone; with the actual place under the altar where his supposed relics are kept. You'd miss the way to the relics if it weren't for the line of people. There's a small metal sign saying "entrada" above a humble stone stairway down to a narrow, low-ceilinged space, where there's a couple of steps in front of a metal grille and about five feet between you and a small altar with a fancy silver box on it.
When I went into the cathedral the day I arrived in Santiago there was barely a line, so within a few seconds I was in front of that box. Other people had pushed things through the grille: rosaries, bits of paper with prayers on them.
And there's no way around it: I had a moment of profound awe and gratitude while I was there, along with a sensation of Presence, a feeling best described as "Oh god, what if he's really in there." People were snapping cell phone pics and walking past me as I knelt and tried to just let myself sit in that Presence. But I was also self-conscious of how few people fit in that space and other people wanting a turn, so I left within a minute or two. I went to a side chapel that was open for Eucharistic Adoration, and not knowing what else to do, I prayed the rosary and did the evening Office.
I went back the next day, after the early morning mass. I read to myself the prayer that was in my credencial (which is originally from a pilgrims' guide written in the 12th century), but I changed it all to the past tense and a prayer of thanks:
O God, who brought your servant Abraham out of the land of the Chaldeans, protecting him in his wanderings, and who guided the Hebrew people across the desert, we ask that you watch over us, your servants, as we walk in the love of your name to Santiago de Compostela.Be for us our companion on the walk,Our guide at the crossroads,Our breath in our weariness,Our protection in danger,Our albergue on the Camino,Our shade in the heat,Our light in the darkness,Our consolation in our discouragements,And our strength in our intentions.So that with your guidance we may arrive safe and sound at the end of the Road and enrichedwith grace and virtue we return safely to our homes filled with joy.In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
(This isn't the exact version printed in my credencial, but I'm at work and don't have it in front of me.)

2023.06.08 04:37 dredgenyor77 Question about the Hilton Aspire card and if it’s a good fit for me
Right now I’m pretty invested into the Amex MR ecosystem and am planning on opening up an Amex Platinum next month because the benefits work for me. I have almost every category covered except hotels. I plan on traveling a lot in the future and think I might benefit with an Aspire alongside the Amex Platinum.
My question is if it can be worth having the Aspire along with the platinum?
I know there are some overlapping credits and point devaluations for Hilton but the status and multipliers for the aspire sound too good to be true. Could use some advice from people who have the Aspire on if it’s worth having it alongside the plat.
Here’s a profile of me:
Short term goals (2 years): - open cards now I’d keep for a long term to keep my average account age high in the future - Stay at FICO 760+ / Push 800 - Travel
Long term goals: - have a card ecosystem that is most efficient in earning me Mcashback with natural spend - Use amex MR points to transferedeem for flights/hotels - get auto loan by 2025 - get mortgage by 2027
Stats: - Age: 22 - FICO Score: 749 - Oldest Account Age: 4yrs 8mo - Average Age of Accounts: 2yrs - Income: $115,000/yr
Current Cards: - American Express BBP ($0/yr, 2x catch all) - American Express Gold ($250/yr, 4x Dining & Grocery) - Costco Citi ($120/yr, 4% gas, %2 Costco) - Amazon Prime Rewards ($0/yr, 5% Amazon) - Apple Card ($0/yr, 3% Apple/Nike) - CapitalOne SavorOne ($0/yr, 16% Uber) - Amex Platinum ($695, 5x flights) (to be opened)
Notes: - I spend more than enough on Gas/Costco/Amazon to justify membership fees for the Amazon and Costco cards - The Gold card effective annual fee is $10 for me naturally (same story with Platinum)
If the aspire wouldn’t really fit, what else would?

2023.06.07 18:48 grump_shep How Anti-Pit can support responsible owners of Pit and Bully Breed mutts
Sounds counter-intuitive, right?
What we all need to understand is that moderate voices on both “sides” of the pit bull debate actually share a lot in common in terms of their goals and ideals. These include:
- A desire to see fewer dangerous dogs roaming the streets or placed into homes
- Acknowledgement that the American Pit Bull Terrier and all other large bull-and-terrier breeds were originally designed by humans to perform a specific job that involved physically grappling with another animal
- The belief that genetics cannot be trained away or loved out of a dog, and that even dogs who have not been purpose-bred for many generations still carry the propensity to display breed-specific traits
With that said, I strongly believe that there are things the anti-pit bull side can do to provide support, or at least make life a bit easier, for those of us who are doing our best to present a realistic image of our dogs and take every reasonable precaution to keep them and others safe.
Some suggestions I would have for those that fall into this category are:
- Please try to avoid shaming people who are genuinely trying their best. I have seen dog owners being mocked for something as simple as carrying treat bags on their hip so they can reward their dog for good behavior or help to manage reactivity. To complain about irresponsible and negligent pit bull owners and then mock or make fun of those who are obviously trying to do right by their dog is counter-productive at best.
- Understand that “reactivity” isn’t always code for “aggression”. It’s true that there has been an increased trend in the dog training industry to label every outburst as “reactivity”. This is not only misguided, but potentially dangerous, as it can prevent us as owners from being able to recognize and properly address actual aggressive behavior. That said, there are numerous types and levels of reactivity. Not all reactive dogs are aggressive, but all aggressive dogs are reactive, and from the perspective of animal behavior science, “reactive” is a valid way to describe certain behavioral expressions.
- Please stop shaming individuals for choosing to put their dogs on behavior modifying drugs. While a reasonable argument can be made that modern humans are over-medicating their dogs and trying to use drugs to suppress working drive, these can work wonders if given to the right dogs for the right reasons. Use of medication to assist in behavior modification or to help a dog exist more peacefully in our world is extremely common, and it is not breed-specific.
- Realize that just because a mixed breed dog is reactive or aggressive does not mean that the animal is exhibiting these behaviors because it has “pit bull” genes. It is intellectually dishonest to assert that a reactive or aggressive dog that is 50% AmStaff and 50% Border Collie is behaving that way exclusively because of its bully breed ancestry. Temperament and behavior are insanely complex and are impacted by everything from genetics, to how a dog was raised, to how early it was taken away from its mother, to how much stress the mother was under while the pup was in-vitro.
I hope this feedback will be viewed as constructive rather than combative; I genuinely do not harbor any ill feelings toward folks who dislike my preferred type of dog. However, we need to be working together to find solutions that benefit the common good. We live in a culture that thrives off of hyperbole, sound bytes, and outrage. When one side pushes, the other pushes back even harder. We will never see an end to this tumultuous “pro pit vs anti pit” debate unless we are willing to grant a basic level of respect to folks who are putting in the work to educate themselves and manage their dogs responsibly.

2023.06.07 14:18 iwishcookieinme Best credit card to earn points and rewards on stores like Free People and other women’s clothing sites?
I spend a significant amount of money on clothing and especially love Free People. They don’t offer discounts however I’d like to earn more than the 1.5% I earn on my current card.
Last year my American Express card did run couple promotions to earn 3% to 5% in rewards however I haven’t seen that in almost a year.
Just wondering if there are any credit cards that offer extra points or rewards for stores like Free People, Sephora, Lulus, Anthropology and indie clothing brands?

2023.06.07 02:08 Murky_Health_3036 scene 02.7
{{Class Habitable}}
Level 1 of the TrainRooms, also known as "M.E.G. Level 61 - The Rural Scene-4," embodies the essence of backroomism with its enigmatic and captivating atmosphere. This secret location holds a prestigious Class A status and was discovered by a bold explorer on November 18, 1973, unraveling its hidden wonders.
Description: Scene 02.7, known as "The Rural Scene-4," is a clandestine and alluring location within The TrainRooms, shrouded in secrecy. Its undulating grasslands stretch endlessly, creating an atmosphere of intrigue and mystique. Rusty trains, relics of a forgotten era, stand silently amidst the landscape, their creaking skeletons blending harmoniously with the natural beauty of the scene. The passage of time and neglect is evident in the structures that dot the grassy hills. Dilapidated shacks and weathered barns, once bustling abodes and havens for weary travelers, now serve as poignant reminders of forgotten tales and hidden treasures. The vast grasslands of Scene 02.7 exude the unmistakable essence of the southern United States. The golden hue of sunburnt yellow grass sways gently in the wind, whispering stories of days long gone. The rolling hills, reminiscent of the Texan countryside, provide a picturesque backdrop that ignites the imagination of those who dare to venture here.
[[File:Scene-02.7 NEW.jpgthumbThe grasslands of Scene-02.7.]]
The Trainyard: As you delve deeper into Scene 02.7, a captivating sight awaits—the trainyard. This expansive area within the scene is adorned with a multitude of retired trains, frozen in time. These iron behemoths, with wheels immobile, infuse the surroundings with an aura of mystery and fascination. Tracks crisscross like veins, leading the eye towards the horizon, teasing at the vastness of this forgotten realm. The trainyard stretches endlessly, tempting adventurers to uncover the secrets concealed within its steel arteries. Time has stood still in this place, and the echoes of past journeys can still be faintly heard amidst the rust and decay.
[[File:Scene-02.7(2).jpgthumbThe Trainyard of Scene-02.7.]]
Recorded Civilizations: Amidst the countless whispered tales of Scene 02.7, one civilization stands out—the enigmatic "Invisible Spiders." Legends speak of a clandestine group possessing extraordinary abilities, capable of weaving webs of illusion and intrigue. Though unseen, their presence permeates the atmosphere, leaving visitors filled with wonder and curiosity. Access and Egress: Gaining entry to Scene 02.7 requires unlocking the hidden pathway within The TrainRooms, a feat reserved for those who possess unwavering determination and exceptional skills. The journey to this ethereal location is fraught with challenges, tests of wit, and formidable obstacles. However, the rewards are immeasurable—a chance to immerse oneself in a realm frozen in time, where the secrets of forgotten civilizations await the intrepid. Departing Scene 02.7, once the exploration reaches its conclusion, is a bittersweet farewell. The memories of the awe-inspiring landscape, the abandoned trains, and the whispers of the Invisible Spiders linger, etching themselves into the hearts of those fortunate enough to experience its enchantment. The exit, a gateway back to reality, seals shut behind the departing explorer, leaving behind a yearning and a newfound reverence for the hidden wonders that lie tantalizingly out of reach.
Entities: The Phantom Express: An infamous train rumored to materialize on moonlit nights, gliding silently through Scene 02.7. Draped in ethereal mist, its spectral appearance instills both fear and fascination in those who catch a glimpse. Legends claim that boarding the Phantom Express grants passage to a realm of forgotten dreams and lost memories.
The Steam Sirens: Ethereal beings that inhabit the trainyard, these mysterious entities are believed to be the spirits of deceased train conductors and engineers. Cloaked in wisps of steam and possessing haunting beauty, the Steam Sirens entice curious visitors, promising an unforgettable journey through the depths of the trainyard.
The Watchful Brakeman: A ghostly figure donning a worn conductor's uniform, the Watchful Brakeman wanders the trainyard, forever vigilant. Visitors catch fleeting glimpses of him standing at the edge of the tracks, perpetually prepared to apply the brakes and prevent catastrophic collisions. His presence instills a sense of safety and guardianship within the abandoned trains.
The Forgotten Passenger: Occasionally, a spectral figure manifests within one of the rusty trains—a lost soul who never reached their intended destination. Faint whispers and melancholic sighs emanate from the train compartment, as if the Forgotten Passenger yearns for someone to listen and share their untold story. The Trainyard Guardian: A colossal and ancient steam-powered mechanical construct,
the Trainyard Guardian stands as a sentinel over the trainyard. Adorned with intricate gears and pistons, it pays homage to the thriving era of locomotives. The Trainyard Guardian remains dormant until a trespasser threatens the sanctity of Scene 02.7, activating its mechanisms to protect the hidden secrets within.
The Sentient Locomotive: An extraordinary anomaly within Scene 02.7, this locomotive possesses its own consciousness. With glowing eyes and a voice like thunder, the Sentient Locomotive roams the trainyard, occasionally sharing fragments of its vast knowledge with those who approach respectfully. It serves as a guardian of the history and stories woven into the abandoned trains, preserving their collective memories.
The Animated Railcars: Among the stationary trains, certain railcars have developed sentience, their wheels creaking and their metal bodies shifting subtly. They communicate through rhythmic vibrations and metallic groans, creating a haunting symphony that reverberates through the trainyard. These animated railcars act as companions to the Sentient Locomotive, sharing its desire to safeguard the legacy of rail travel.
The Mobile Maintenance-of-Way (MOW) Equipment: Within Scene 02.7, remnants of railroad maintenance vehicles have taken on a life of their own. The Mobile Maintenance-of-Way (MOW) Equipment, including rail grinders, ballast tampers, and track laying machines, possess a level of sentience. Purposefully, they tend to the tracks, ensuring their preservation. Visitors may catch glimpses of these animated machines as they carry out their duties, their mechanical sounds blending harmoniously with the whispers of the scene.
The Expressive Caboose: Nestled in the heart of the trainyard, an exuberant and vivacious caboose stands out from the rest. Adorned with colorful murals and vibrant paintwork, the Expressive Caboose possesses the ability to change its appearance, reflecting the emotions and stories it wishes to convey. It symbolizes the dynamic nature of the railroad's past and resonates with the human connection to these historical modes of transportation.
The Whistling Boxcar: Amidst the retired trains, a boxcar emits haunting and melancholic melodies throughout the night. Known as the Whistling Boxcar, it produces ethereal tunes that permeate the trainyard, evoking feelings of nostalgia and longing. Its mournful melodies mirror the forgotten tales and unfulfilled journeys of the trains that once traversed these rails.
The Spirit of the Iron Horse: Resembling the legendary Union Pacific Big Boy, this sentient locomotive possesses an imposing frame and massive driving wheels, commanding attention. It represents the era of steam power and the spirit of innovation that fueled the expansion of the American rail system.
The Freedom Express: Modeled after iconic American diesel locomotives, the Freedom Express embodies sleek design and modern technology that revolutionized the railway industry. With its distinctive blue and silver livery, it symbolizes progress, efficiency, and the spirit of freedom that permeates the American rail network.
The Thundering Challenger: Inspired by the Union Pacific Challenger, this sentient locomotive exudes strength and power. Its articulated design, characterized by a long wheelbase and distinctive streamlined profile, represents the resilience and determination that propelled America's railroads through challenging terrains and historic moments.
The Golden Daylight: Drawing inspiration from the Southern Pacific Daylight, this sentient locomotive captures the essence of the glamorous era of streamlined passenger trains. Adorned with vibrant orange and red colors, it embodies the spirit of luxury and adventure, inviting visitors to envision the golden age of rail travel. The Patriot Express: Paying homage to the famous Norfolk & Western Class J locomotives, the Patriot Express reflects the heritage of American steam locomotives. Its powerful presence, black and gold livery, and distinctive smokestack evoke a sense of nostalgia and national pride, serving as a reminder of the crucial role railroads played in shaping the United States.
The Sentient Railroad Signals: Nestled along the train tracks of Scene 02.7, the Sentient Railroad Signals serve as more than mere indicators for train traffic. These sentient entities possess the ability to communicate and interact with visitors, providing guidance and warnings as they navigate the trainyard. With luminous eyes that change color to convey different messages, the Sentient Railroad Signals ensure safe passage and add an extra layer of intrigue to the already captivating environment.
The Sentient Railroad Crossing Signals: At the heart of Scene 02.7 lies a railroad crossing, where the Sentient Railroad Crossing Signals reside. These entities are guardians of the intersection between the railway and the outside world. With their animated arms and expressive lights, they regulate the flow of traffic and protect unsuspecting wanderers from oncoming trains. Their sentient presence adds a touch of whimsy and safety to the enigmatic realm of The Rural Scene-4.
The Rogue Runaway Trains: Within Scene 02.7, there exists a phenomenon known as the Rogue Runaway Trains. These peculiar trains defy the conventional order, lacking locomotives at their fronts and barreling through the trainyard with reckless abandon. Unleashing a thunderous cacophony and leaving a trail of chaos in their wake, these runaway trains evoke both awe and trepidation in those who witness their unpredictable journeys. Their mysterious origins and relentless quest for freedom make them enigmatic entities within the realm of The Rural Scene-4.
The Enigmatic Derailer: Masquerading as an ordinary railroad maintenance vehicle, the Derailer is a cunning and autonomous entity within Scene 02.7. With its deceptive appearance, it blends seamlessly into the trainyard, making it challenging to discern its true nature. When triggered by specific conditions or disturbances, the Derailer springs into action, manifesting its true purpose. Operating with calculated precision, it safeguards the integrity of the tracks by diverting or derailing rogue trains, preventing potential disasters and maintaining order within the trainyard. Its enigmatic nature adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the already captivating landscape.

Coffee with Captain from dGenNetwork Twitter Spaces today featured Doodles CEO Julian Holguin
If anyone wants to listen back:
https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1DXxyveZOwbKM I've shared some of the Doodles related Q&A below:
Can you tell us a little bit about this Camp experience for those who missed the announcement? Julian: So Camp and Doodles has been underway for a while. It's definitely been a concept that we've been kicking around since I started at the company and the whole idea was that if you can create an immersive retail experience that brings people into your world and kind of draft off of the success that Doodles had at SXSW and make it more permanent, you can really reach people in a meaningful way. It's why people go to Disneyland, Universal Studios etc. It's a big endeavor to launch a theme park. There are massive businesses that are built around actually standing up these theme parks but there's kind of a hole in the market for every weekend, almost everyday activities you can do with a family or with friends that bring consumers and fans and collectors closer to your experience in a way that's truly experiential. So Camp is a business that has been able to stand up a really incredible solution for that.
I actually discovered it with my family while I was living in Los Angeles. I brought my son to their Nike kids camp and I was blown away. You walk in, it's a specialty toy store, it's got all the viral kids toys and it's kind of like a modern day FAO Schwarz, it's really cool. Then they have this ticketed experience where you buy tickets to whatever the branded theme is, that time in L.A, it was Nike. You take the family through this magic door at the back of the store and it opens up into this 6000 square foot, crazy guided immersive experience where there's actors, they call them counselors that take you through this whole experience that's guided for your family and your kids and they're immersed in the world. It's play, it's fun and then at the end of it is this really cool gift shop experience where people can get a chance to take home the stuff that they just interacted with and some of the energy that they were just able to put into play.
Camp has a network of these stores across the country. They also have one in Atlanta, which just debuted with The Little Mermaid, they have one in New York, which debuted with Disney Encanto, they've done Paw Patrol, they have Mickey and Friends live in Dallas, so they have this whole network. We're opening a new store with them this summer that's Doodles. So we're going to be side by side with some of the best and most beloved IP in the world and bringing what so many people love about Doodles to life permanently. The idea is that we're going to be a specific location for around 3 to 6 months potentially a little bit longer and then that show is actually built to pack up and go on the road. So we'll move to a different one of their locations.
We're making a bunch of new products, our first actual kids merchandise. It's going to be integrated into the experience. The experience that you're going to see is brand new, completely built from the ground up. Anybody that's been to our live events know that we know how to do this and we really do know how to bring people into our world and this is another opportunity for us to also age down and reach a new demographic with kids, parents and kind of everybody in between so it's a really exciting time for us. We believe immersive retail is going to be a massive thing in the future. If yesterday's Apple event actually punctuated anything, it's this concept of mixed reality that is going to be prevalent in our life and the whole idea of immersive retail is to continually use digital product, live experiences to bring people closer to stories, to bring people closer to characters, to bring people actually into the universe that we're ultimately creating and we all know being in Web3 how that is core to the ethos, that's why all of us signed up. We want to feel like we're part of this, so we're really excited. Can't wait for everybody to see more.
Why is Camp the ideal partner versus doing this yourselves? Julian: I think we do IRL as good as anybody in the world, not just anybody in Web3. I think the elevation that Doodles brought to the space when it comes to IRL after SXSW was a call to action to everybody in the space to kind of level up and you've seen a lot of people, based on what we did start to invest more in these live experiences and try and bring people closer to the actual IP. I think we've been leaders in that regard and we have no doubt that we would have been able to build a really special live experience if we had just done it from the ground up but it made a lot more sense knowing that this is not our core competency to actually partner with somebody to help operate a fully baked retail location. As much as camp is a business that we're completely leaning into, it's also a test for product market fit, one thing that they have is email subscriber lists, customers, real fans of their brand that seek out these kinds of experiences in the cities that they're in so there's already built in marketing value that we have by partnering with Camp, the infrastructure, they know how to operate a store from day to day.
They know the right amount of inventory to order, they know the right way to actually have these experiences flow when it comes to a three hour guided experience and they know how to get the most value for their customers and ultimately out of their customers. So it was a really good idea for us to actually partner with somebody before going all in and investing 100% of our own money into an experience like this and we truly think partnership is the way to learn as much as you possibly can and it's also not that different from the way that massive IP shows up at theme parks and such, there are theme park operators like Merlin Entertainment and what they do is license IP and then ultimately build theme parks around them. So there are very few people that actually stand up their own theme park businesses and actually bring their own live experiences to market. I do think it's something that we could probably own one day but the best idea short term was to do it with somebody that's a true expert in it and kind of shares a similar ethos that we do.
How do you plan to drive people to the Doodles experience vs something like Mickey that's also in Camp stores? That's exactly why it made so much sense to actually partner with Camp because they have a built in audience and customer base. Right off the bat we're going to have thousands of people that are going to become aware of Doodles instantly just because we're partnering with Camp and going to have a location activated in a particular city. So that's number one. Number two is that that's not going to be enough, we want to try and actually integrate within that city and and the surrounding markets. So what we're going to be doing is a full fledged marketing campaign. We're going to be sponsoring local events, we're going to be working with local influencers, people that have kids, people that don't, we're going to be doing outdoor, we're going to be doing radio, we're going to be getting the message out there about Doodles, but not just about Doodles. The fact that there is this new incredible experience that's coming to market. New York, LA, Miami, Austin, Columbus, Ohio, a lot of these places have a lot of major entertainment things that come by but there's very few things that fill this gap. You can go to Six Flags, Disneyland, you can go to a tour that's coming through town like I take my kid to the Jurassic World tour and it's really cool but there's not many things that are IP driven that you can go to any weekend.
You can knock out three hours with your family, there's just a really big hole in that market in almost every single city. The fact the experience is going to be coming to the city that we're going to is a marketing opportunity within itself. So Doodles is going to draft off of that solution that this experience is actually providing to the market and I think everybody knows this that's been to our events, once you're in, once you experience it, you have a really big opportunity with a brand like Doodles to keep people interested in your ecosystem, to keep people interested in what you're doing. The other thing you kind of mentioned about our events where you see strollers and families around during the day and then at night it's a Diplo concert, we're going to be doing a similar kind of thing with daypart programing where there's going to be basically daytime programing for kids and families and then at night, not every single night but at night there's going to be more adult focused programing where the setting and the scene is a lot more for people that are over 21 and not really in that family kind of setting. So it's going to be pretty cool to see our ability to actually target multiple demographics and try and be a multi-generational brand.
You have mentioned that Doodles is like the Amex black card of the collection. How does that work related to the Doodles Camp experience? Julian: We've been maintaining this. So essentially the Doodles OG collection, obviously there's provenance associated with it, it's the art that started it all, it's one of 10,000 Burnt Toast but it also comes with this contract that's going to give you the ultimate access in the entire ecosystem. Sometimes access means you're going to get entered for a raffle to be one of the only 300 people that get the Pharrell pack for free. Sometimes it's going to be access to a major live event that we're propping up at a big cultural moment and sometimes it's going to be something like Camp where you are going to get free entry, you are going to get merchandise credits, you are going to get concierge services, meaning when you show up, it's not going to be like somebody walking off the street, the store is going to be waiting for you, you're going to be treated like a true VIP because that's what people that hold the original collection are and we think that's a pretty special thing. We think people strive for that. We think people want to feel special, especially when they're investing money in collectibles and the things that we offer in our ecosystem so if you're traveling to come to this specific location, we want that experience to feel very special to you.
We don't want you to feel like just any normal consumer off the street. You're part of the Doodles universe, the same way that the characters that are being displayed in that experience are. So it's really special to us and really important to us that we live up to that in that our community. The people that are truly in the community every single day, engaging, building. There's a fictional universe of characters and then there's the real world lifestyle of Doodles, the real world lifestyle of Doodles we want to be as known and as much of a part of our story as the actual fictional universe and that's what we're trying to perpetuate with this idea of like white glove concierge service. I always think of it like concierge key with American Airlines or the Black Card with American Express or Club 33 with Disney, it doesn't mean every single thing that we do is going to be free but it means there's going to be a very, very special experience for OGs at every step of the way and this is just another iteration of that.
When you gave the presentation at NFTNYC about a year ago, you talked about immersive experiences, culture, music, is there anything that has changed or pivoted in strategy since that presentation? Julian: I think a business like us you need to give yourselves agency to pivot as things unfold and as technology develops and I'd say that our vision has not changed at all but the way we get there maybe there are a couple changes but they wouldn't be noticeable to somebody looking from the outside in. I think the way that we think about on-chain loyalty, rewards and engagement and a hub like the stoodio being connected to every single consumer touchpoint, we've always had a vision for that because there's countless examples of major IP in the world that has fans and really loyal supporters that go out and see them at the movies, theme parks, buy merch, play games and the IP actually has no way of tracking all of that behavior. They have no idea who these people are, much less how to reward them for their support and for their loyalty. If you build from the ground up with that mindset, you're going to be able to create a much deeper relationship between you and your most loyal supporters, which is kind of what Web3 is about. So how do we create a brand that can do what any of these major IP operators do with an audience of millions, but we're doing it with thousands and then you build that traditional business model on top of it to create something truly exponential.
That is the vision, that's the game. I think the thing that most people don't understand is that brands today, it's not like you can just go build one tentpole and build a global IP off of that. If you're Disney you can, you can release Encanto, be working on it for five years and have all the distribution to make that a hit but it doesn't work that way for most people trying to build an IP. Most brands need to be present every day where consumers spend their time on social media, in live events, through merchandise, people spend their time in very fragmented ways these days, and attention is very difficult to maintain. So this whole concept of transmedia storytelling is really important and if you think about what GoldenWolf is, they're an animation and creative studio that specializes in advertising content, on digital content, on social content. So knowing that we are going to be a transmedia storytelling brand, meaning we're going to be present in many different areas and we're going to be creating content around all of the things that we do, whether it be Camp, brand partnerships that we have coming up, Doodles Records, anything with the product and the stoodio, new NFT collections etc. What could be a better asset internally than an Emmy nominated advertising and animation studio? We're going to be able to put high quality content out in a way that other people truly just can't keep up with.
I don't mean content for the sake of content. I truly mean high quality content. So GoldenWolf being in the mix is huge for us. Ingi is an incredible thought leader, always thinking about new ways to push technology forward. For us blockchain is obviously what made Doodles what it is and it's obviously what is most interesting to us and how digital ownership brings people closer to an IP but how can you use some other emerging technologies to actually create quicker time to market for animation so you can create more animations? How do you use it to create more immersive environments? Really thinking about new ways to push the envelope and at the end of the day, people connect with stories, people connect with characters, people love joyful entertainment and if we can make those people feel like they're part of our universe the same way that our main characters are, that's when you get something that I don't think truly exists in the world today and it's something we're really excited about so I'd say not a ton has changed, how we get there and the mechanism in which we deliver these incredible stories and bring people closer will always change. That's just kind of the nature of being in the world that we're in but I'd say we have as much or more conviction than when I started.
Did Apple's Vision Pro announcement yesterday strengthen your belief in the future of experiential and immersive experiences Julian: Yeah. Everybody knows Burnt Toast for creating the characters but he's actually a really incredible product and thought leader in how to leverage technology to create more content. He's been beating this drum for a long time. Mixed reality. He really loves augmented reality specifically and I think what you saw last night was a major step in how this is ultimately going to evolve. That headset is going to get smaller and smaller. The computing power is going to get stronger and stronger. The price is going to get cheaper and cheaper. The technology is going to get more intuitive and anybody that's not thinking about that future is definitely going to get left behind. How long it takes to get to a point where that use case is truly at scale? Who knows? I think it happens faster these days than it ever has before. I think it's actually a really exciting time if you're a creator, especially if you're a creator in a world where you're trying to connect physical and digital. We couldn't be more bullish and we couldn't be more excited for the kind of things that we're actually going to be able to make with a truly great platform like that.
I think the metaverse is a term, it's not what's actually being created. It's thrown around so much and people talk about the metaverse like it's someplace we're going and not someplace that we kind of live in today. Everybody very carefully curates what they put on social media, younger generations care so much about the digital assets that they can acquire like Roblox and Fortnite, people care about what their Zoom looks like, everybody on this Twitter space has very carefully curated what their PFP looks like and what their Twitter feed looks like. We are very much living in a world that has bridges from digital and IRL and what the announcement was yesterday and what Disney is doing is just talking about a much more intuitive and deeper way to make that a reality and to create better experiences. If you looked at the visuals, imagine throwing on a headset and being able to watch a Disney movie like that or to watch a game on ESPN. I don't even think people can really feel the impact of how that's going to be. It's going to be incredible. It's going to be an entertainment experience that just does not exist today and until people can actually feel it, I think there's going to be a lot of speculation, but that showed a lot of promise, we were all pretty blown away watching that presentation.
I love that you've mentioned a couple times the prioritization of content and good content, is Doodles active on platforms outside of twitter or is that coming? Julian: It's coming up. We are mostly active on Instagram and Twitter. We needed to actually get the GoldenWolf acquisition through and then ultimately integrate the company and the business into Doodles so that naturally just takes some time and what we didn't want to do was just rush to get content out there because it's something that you feel like you have to do. Quality takes time. A brand that's going to live forever and and be timeless takes time. It's not like technology where if you're first and you're quick, you get a leg up. People are always starving for new IP. People are always looking for new stories. People are always looking for new ways to actually connect and feel joy and escape and what we can't do is rush to put something out that doesn't truly mirror or represent the Doodles brand and the bar for quality that we have. Obviously we're going to have a TikTok channel, we're going to have more YouTube content. It's just taking a little bit of time as these things should. I don't want to give you like an exact date of when that stuff is going to happen, but it's all being developed as we speak in addition to the long form, whether that be television or film and then what are the characters names? What are the stories? What adventures do they go on? What is the universe like? You're going to start to see tidbits of that throughout the summer and into the end of the year.
I wasn't even thinking long form. Is that alpha? Julian: You've definitely heard that before. Of course if your any major IP, you want to figure out a way to exploit that IP in new ways and film, television, longer form takes a longer time and it's something that we don't really feel the need to rush into because it's not like we have everything riding on Doodles being like a smash TV show or a major hit movie at the box office. If you think about the way brands operate today, evergreen social content, narrative storytelling, different kinds of physical and digital experiences, merchandise, true connection to your audience and your community every single day. That's what Doodles is really going to prioritize and in parallel to that, yes, how do we actually get like a bigger tentpole to market?
I think you were hinting to building out the lore of the collection, are there plans to roll out content around exactly what it is to be a holder of these collections? Julian: That's a great question. I'd say that first and foremost, all the fictional universe and lore for what Doodles is building is going to emanate from our collections. So the characters are going to emanate from the original collection. Some of the fashion inspiration in our universe is going to emanate from Doodles2, it's going to be very clear to anybody that's been around for a while or anybody that knows Doodles that the world that's being built is being built around the NFT's and the community is going to have several ways to take part in that and then as far as actually marketing what it means to be an OG holder, there's going to be a ton of content. There already has been a lot of content if you look our marketing pages and some of the tweet threads, some of the animations that we've made to kind of take people through whatever experience we're promoting at the time but when it does come to the actual membership itself, that's something that we're going to continue to prioritize. There's going to be a lot of content made around that and it's something that we talk about internally every day.
If you look at another collection, DeGods. They seem to really be leaning into these seasons. What I mean by that is the content they create, they sort of build up to the utility for months Julian: That's not entirely our strategy to speculate on what utility may or may not be, I would just say that what we found works for us is kind of just showing people, iterating and testing and we think that's a really good long term strategy for us, especially because we're in a position where we're able to do a lot right now because of the capital that we raised last year. I think the utility is going to get very clear and the ecosystem is going to become very clear soon. I think people are already starting to feel it with the launch of the stoodio, the Pharrell Pack, Pharrell himself becoming a Doodle in our universe, Camp and some of the other partnerships that we're getting ready to announce that are going to happen this summer and into the end of the year so I'd say that we want people to feel like more is coming, but we also don't want to over promise and have people have outsized expectations because I think a lot of projects fall victim to that.
We're also fans of what a lot of other people are doing and we study what other people are doing to try and take bits of that and see how they could fit our business. I think the thing that's really exciting about Web3 right now is that not everyone is doing things the same way. Specifically in the PFP collections, everybody is kind of establishing their own lane and doing really incredible work across the space and I'd say that should be an exciting thing because what works for one project won't necessarily work for the next. It's pretty cool that we're all collections, we're all NFT's, we're all Web3 but at the end of the day, the track that we're taking and the businesses that we're creating are actually really different. So I'd say that we look at these things, it's just figuring out when and why to implement them or activate them but I think mainly what you're saying is, how can you make sure that the utility isn't really going under the radar and it's something that we're championing as much as the big brand moments and that's something that is 100% a priority for us and making sure that the community feels and understands what it means to be a holder.
I love that these projects are taking different paths and while I think others will follow, I do think it's going to take a big brand like Doodles kind of chart that blueprint in a sense. Julian: Yeah and others others have followed. When Jordan, Evan and Scott started the company, they were very clear that this was an IP that they were going to develop over time and making sure that the community was part of that IP. SXSW was kind of a statement that Doodles made. NFTNYC was a statement that Doodles made and you've seen a lot of projects actually try and do what we are doing. Everybody knows Doodles may not have been the best at talking about what we're doing but at the end of the day, I think no one's going to be able to deny that there's a really thriving ecosystem, company and community being built around this IP come the next few months when all that's about to release is going to release. It's a very exciting time to be a Doodle holder. I feel like Doodle holders are going to be very proud to represent the brand and be ambassadors for the brand and I think we're really proud that the community that has stuck around and truly engaged with us this entire way is going to feel very good about where we're going. It's an exciting time for Web3. I think you're going to see a lot of really interesting work. I've always said that last year was kind of the year of shipping promises and this year going into next year is really going to be the year that you actually start seeing all of us ship product and you're starting to see some really incredible work unfold and we're just happy that we still have a chance to do that.
Can we expect any other in real life activations whether it be Art Basel or otherwise this year or is it all focus on Camp? Julian: Camp is going to be the main focus from an investment perspective, meaning most of what we have for live is going towards Camp and building that out as a true business, with that being said we love popping up at other IRL moments because it's a way to onboard new people into our ecosystem and also reward key community members. What we did at Something In The Water was we basically set up this 30 by 30 space. We called it Doodle Beach. There was a merch shop that promoted our collaboration with BBC Ice Cream and then there was another space where you could actually test out the Doodles2 product experience on screen and go into the stoodio, mess around a little bit, learn more about Doodles and what it is. We were able to onboard a lot of festival goers that really didn't know anything about the brand beforehand but we were able to break off 50 super VIP tickets with incredible access to the stage and raffle those off for Doodles community members. We're going to be doing that again at other moments this year. Exactly which ones, we're not prepared to say yet but that will always be a focus for us. What we wanted to do was create an activation that could be easily packed up and travel so we could take a similar thing from event to event versus trying to go completely all in on a SXSW or Art Basel, not to say that's not going to be something we do in the future, we're just trying to scale our live event footprint and our activity a little bit more.
Was there ever a discussion about creating permanent Doodle-branded locations, inspired by the success of Doodleputt, such as Doodles laser tag or Doodles go kart racing? Julian: I think the thing that we wanted to kind of steer clear of is having any association for Doodles that was not specifically about Doodles, the characters and the stories. If the first time people are experiencing Doodles is through golf or laser tag or bowling you kind of run the risk of people thinking that's what it is. If you think about Mario, the characters, the stories, people were very familiar with what those were before Mario Kart or Mario Golf or Mario Tennis ever came out, I do think there's an opportunity for that in the future. I think people loved Doodleputt, but I think the strategy there was really more about how do you create something splashy and noteworthy at Art Basel that people were truly going to care about doing that was very social but we believe that Camp and the experience that we're creating there is a much better format for where we're going but the idea of Doodles popping up with other sorts of immersive experiences is definitely interesting and something we are actively working on what it looks like to bring other experiences to different markets around the world and it's going to continue to be a core strategy of ours. We're going to learn a lot with with what we do at Camp and we're going to use that data to continue to build out the ecosystem.
Have you considered creating a weekly series on platforms like YouTube, where kids can tune in to watch and engage with the brand on a regular basis, even though you mentioned that you're not pursuing a Doodles movie or animation? Julian: To clarify, a movie, doodles animation, that's actually something we're actively working on. It's just there's no rush to get that out there. When it comes to YouTube, I'm a parent that utilized Cocomelon and Paw Patrol and all these different things on YouTube. So I totally get it. I think there is going to be YouTube content very soon, but there's also going to be TikTok and more Instagram content and there's just going to be a stronger throughline for what we're creating and why, you're going to start to see the story and some of the characters unfold. Not all at once. I'd say that the minute to two minute long videos is something that translates more of like a webcomic, animated series, physical book or social content? All of these things are are being developed right now. So I'd say what you're hoping for is exactly the work that GoldenWolf is doing. Whatever format it comes in I'm not going to guarantee on the spaces today but you can just rest assured knowing that this is 100% top of mind and as big of a priority as anything in the company, probably the biggest priority in the company.
You were referencing OG holders, are these benefits for those that held for a while or just a Doodle holder in general? Julian: We do believe that if you own an original Doodle, you're entitled to the kind of the standard benefits that we're building around membership in owning that Doodle but we also are working through ways to make sure people that have stuck around and engaged are rewarded. If you look at the Pharrell pack, the criteria to actually enter the raffle, you had to have had an OG Doodle, you had to have dooplicated a Doodle, opened a Genesis Box and you had to have signed up for an account with the stoodio. If you did not have an OG Doodle, you were not eligible for that raffle but if you didn't do all the other things that kind of engaged members of the community do, you also couldn't be part of that raffle. So I think you're going to start to see things where all Doodles holders get an opportunity for something. Only Doodles holders that have taken certain actions are going to get an opportunity for something and kind of everything in between.
How do you plan to onboard individuals from the immersive camp experience into the Web3 space? Julian: I'd say that's exactly what we're building and our vision. How do you build a on-chain collectible ecosystem that connects to every single consumer touchpoint? We kind of look at Doodles as a funnel where most people are going to come into contact with us through engaging with content on social media, showing up at experiences like Camp, seeing Adidas or Pharrell post about Doodles etc All of a sudden those people are aware of Doodles and we have an NFT product in the stoodio that feels a lot more like skinning a character in Fortnite or buying something in Roblox where you're basically outfitting your avatar in whatever activation you saw. So like Adidas, Pharrell, you can now buy the stuff that they were representing, build your doodle in that likeness. There's no friction to get in, signing up for a wallet and getting into the stoodio is as easy as setting up an Instagram or Spotify account. It's not even just about it being easy, it's familiar. Getting a metamask, holding a seed phrase, buying crypto, that stuff is not familiar and it scares most people.
We know the technology is ultimately going to get better but in the meantime we want a meaningful way to actually onboard people into this hub that we've built in the stoodio. So if you can create media, experiences, attention you can actually bring them in to your hub, to your collectible ecosystem through a really easy to use product. A product they care about that helps them represent themselves, they get to be a Doodle the same way that our main characters are going to get to be a Doodle. Now they're in, they're going to learn more about blockchain, they're going to learn more about Web3 but they were able to get out of their own way because the technology was invisible. They weren't scared of NFT's and crypto the first time they integrated with Doodles because they had no idea that's what it was. That's a really interesting opportunity because right now for a lot of people it's kind of the boogeyman and if you can help people understand it isn't about the headlines that you read, it's about a better technology stack to create a more meaningful relationship between supporters, collectors, community and the IP itself.
None of the rest is going to matter to those people. Our goal is ultimately to have the entire collectible ecosystem connect to everywhere that people are experiencing the brand. You're going to see that with Camp. You've seen that at all of our live events, if you were a Doodle holder at Art Basel, at Doodleputt, you were able to flash your badge at different activation pillars and it would make a noise and you would get access to different shots, a door would open up and you could actually hit it through the secret passageway and give you an edge over somebody that didn't have a Doodle, you were able to display your Doodle in certain areas in the actual experience itself. So we kind of look at it like it's in real life, it's digital, everything's connected. That is what we're building right now and we really want to make sure that you're giving people as little friction as possible that don't know much about us or the space as a whole.
Beyond GoldenWolf is Doodles looking at other acquisitions in the space? Julian: We're always looking at acquisitions. There's always an opportunity to bring companies in that are either struggling or thriving but by bringing them together, you create an exponential effect. Any time we look at an acquisition, it's always how can we create one plus one equals three.. GoldenWolf is not just about ingesting a really great creative team. It's how can we reinvent their company to create a much better version of GoldenWolf while at the same time creating a new world for the development of Doodles IP. So I'd say that to the extent that any Web3 IP, any underlying infrastructure is interesting, we're definitely all in on on those ideas. We brought in all the engineering and product resources from a from another Web3 company that was struggling earlier this year. It wasn't publicized or anything but it's always something that we're vetting and looking at. I'd also say joint ventures and partnerships, we want to be vertically integrated and own the relationship with our community as much as we possibly can but that's not to say that we're going to be experts in every single area we want to operate in so partnership and joint ventures and trying to scale businesses together is always something that's top of mind for us so yes, absolutely. We're always looking at that.
What does Doodles look like in two years? Julian: I think in the context of Doodles. Doodles is a lifestyle brand that people engage with and are a part of every day. People use it as their PFP, people buy the merch, they communicate with each other, you actually build more content off of the IP, people are starting businesses based off of the IP. Doodles is very real and present in our everyday life and the idea that there are community members where as the brand scales, those people, their interests in the company or the brand scale as well. You're running that parallel to a fictional universe of characters, who is our Buzz Lightyear? Who is our Woody? The fact that there are community members that will be known in the community and the story of those community members just as much as who our main characters are I think is really special because then you could take a fictional universe and a lifestyle brand and have them crash into each other at times.
If you look at the end card for the last trailer we did promoting the Pharrell Pack and Stoodio, it was really cool to see because you saw Pharrell as a Doodle. He's a real person in the real world, but he is now a character in the Doodles universe the same way Lady Gaga and The Weeknd have done things like that with The Simpsons. They're real people but they're in this fictional universe. You saw our main character, the mascot and you also saw a bunch of characters that you might not know, it could be someone from North Dakota or Hong Kong or Tokyo or Miami and the whole point is that they're living in this same universe together. When I think about IP developed from the ground up in Web3, especially when it comes to what Doodles is doing, that concept of digital identity delivered through a brand and the community being as much a part of our universe as the fictional characters that are ultimately going to scale to millions. That is what I think is really interesting about what we're building here and that's why I think the the notion of building a business with your core people is so special and something that doesn't really exist in in the world of IP today.
Julian: I think the main thing I'll sign off with is, Doodles is doing exactly what we said we would be doing at NFTNYC last year. It takes a while to build businesses that truly matter and to build brands and characters and stories that truly matter and then to bring a community closer to that entire experience. I think people are going to be really proud to see what's coming next but very excited to see all the positive reaction and engagement we've had on the timeline recently so appreciate the time today and we'll talk again soon.

Important: before you send your codes please make sure your account is secure (if your password is twelve characters or less it's best to assume your account has already been compromised; your password should be eight randomly selected words, see 1 and 2). Scams where compromised accounts are used to leverage reputation to scam an unsuspecting user, used to steal codes during the middle of the trade, and steal unused gift cards the victim was saving for later are increasingly commonplace. If you have any concerns as to your account's security, please reset your password now and force logout of all sessions. Thanks
