Confidential - PRESS RELEASE
Strike Social starts accepting Dash as payment for digital advertising campaigns
No. 17 fastest-growing private company in the United States will use the new currency to facilitate international expansion
CHICAGO December 20, 2017
Strike Social — the No. 17 fastest-growing private company in the United States, according to the Inc. 500 — is happy to announce the inclusion of Dash as an accepted form of payment for digital advertising campaigns.
Strike Social holds the distinct honor of being the largest YouTube ad optimization firm, with half of its revenue coming from Facebook and other digital ad platforms, such as Amazon, DoubleClick, Snap, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. Strike Social operates in 14 different fiat currencies, which can access 40 countries outside the U.S.
“It’s hard to express how labor intensive, painstaking and expensive it is for companies to operate across borders in fiat currencies,” said Patrick McKenna, Strike Social's chairman and co-founder. “The cost to manage this in your own accounting and finance departments is tough and in most cases you have to hire local tax specialists to help you stay in compliance and updated with laws and changes in those countries to keep banking!”
It was a four-year march by Strike Social to establish four separate foreign subsidiary entities and set up 10 different traditional banking relationships in eight countries. Still, the company couldn’t reach a few major economies, such as Brazil and India.
Strike Social was conceived from a kitchen table in 2013 and has grown into a global workforce of more than 120 people.
“Going international the way we did as a bootstrap startup is next to impossible for most,” McKenna adds. “Adding Dash as a payment gets us the rest of the world, and with their negligible transaction fees, it’s a home run for us.”
The global digital ad spend is expected to hit $269 billion next year, reaching a total of $335 billion by 2020. “We’ll take the whole thing in Dash" says McKenna.

Thanks for the proposal pmckenna12.
We believe very strongly that a cryptocurrency could enter the supply chain and resolve a lot of these complications. Dash has technological advantages in terms of scale, speed, and reliability that has drawn us to it. We do believe that Dash's marketshare needs to grow considerably versus its competitors, but we're willing to make a bet on it.
For your proposal which would be the ROI that would provide your offer?
Thank you.
A very standard campaign for a moderately sized client can easily be $500k-$1M. Just one single client switching from a fiat-only competitor, or one of our fiat clients switching to Dash payment would put a very significant chunk of Dash into circulation in the real economy.
Our analysis shows that most (not all, of course) of Dash is currently being held as a speculative asset at the moment, but that the real opportunity is in having that Dash being circulated in exactly how it was intended. Dash literally is digital cash, and the way for it to grow its value on a fundamental level is to have it used in regular commerce. Once a single client (hopefully multiple) begins to pay in Dash, that value will trickle around in various portions to content producers, wage earners, owners, and eventually publishers.
If any of you would like to get on a private phone call to ask about anything at all, please PM me to schedule a call.
Very excited to become a part of this community, and look forward to more opportunities to further this partnership in the future.
When you say you're going to be integrating Dash as the "exclusive crypto for payment for client services" do you currently have, or are you in the process of, signing a legally binding exclusivity agreement with Dash core?
They can arrange the agreements quickly and are doing so for us as well, since we are implementing Dash as our exclusive payment solution on our platform.
We can do this.
