Proposal description
UPDATE:
We received some feedback from the Dash Core head of UI/UX Development (Chuck Williams) and as instructed we will be consulting Dash branding, dedicated Dash pages, banners and all other marketing elements with Fernando Gutierrez (Dash Core team, Chief Marketing Officer) before going live. Additionally, we will be posting topic suggestions for the weekly Dash articles and our monthly live stream on Dash Forum so MNOs can vote for the topics that will get covered.
We posted a proposal last month which included a video series and sitewide sponsorship at a higher cost. Based on what we have learned after submitting the proposal a month ago, we decided to make some major changes. We reduced the cost significantly by eliminating the 12 part Open Letter video series and also decided to not spend on any additional marketing and staff to make the cost as low and affordable as possible for the Dash community. We will only cover our basic expenses.
We are confident that the exposure we are offering is the largest for this price from all proposals submitted in this month, and are open to ways we can work with the community to improve and make it a reality. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?
Submit comment
Advertising and sponsorship have not worked for dash so far. Views have failed to translate into dash use and the network is getting many views every month without any usage. Can you explain how sponsoring your channel and getting more views will help increasing use?
Btw, looks like much overlap between Ben Swann and your proposal.
Jeremy
We are aware that views will not necessarily translate into Dash adopters, therefore our campaign is designed to educate people on specifics of what Dash is and how it is better than Paypal or Bitcoin etc. For example, many similar campaigns will mostly offer to brand their content with Dash logo, we are creating content that is educating people about Dash and every aspect of it, how to buy, where, transaction fees, what goods can be purchased with it etc. Each video we will be creating will have a link to the educational page on Dash and its usability. Our banners will also be linking to educational content on Dash, comparing Bitcoin with Dash and how Dash does better on all the levels like transaction fees, security, speed etc. Also, our articles will be covering different aspects on Dash, buying, where, how to use wallets etc. Additionally, we are also offering live stream where we cover all different aspects of Dash on our Facebook page with 1.7mln likes and this is all for a fraction of what other campaigns cost.
I vote YES!
