Season 2 overview
What went wrong
- Chrisfcrypto - Bankless Academy - we wasted time
- JENetics - artist retention
- If we don’t have enough paying work to go around, then it will be hard to keep people
- Reinis - difficult to get outside revenue sources
- Failed to create multiple streams of income into the DAO
- Need to bring in outside revenue
- Lack of getting portfolios up on website
- Creative Council / Branding Guild
- Need for creative directors
- A lot of pushback from the larger DAO as it was seen as a centralized council that has say on everything coming out of DAO
- Bankless Studios is available to have ‘creative council’ since it is a 3 pronged attack to Bankless
- Seems to be an easier, smaller, focused group
- Also allows us a little bit more trial and error
- Potentially have Art Director role within Studios who works along Branding Director with larger bDAO
- Branding Guild - NFThinker had convo with TwilightPirate
- Instead of having branding guild - have branding fall under OPs as more of a ‘service’ for the DAO
- Could other guilds just use “style pyramid” from TwilightPirate as a reference depending on what project they are working on
What went right
- Including Guest Passes in roles
- Started consistent process for weekly CC POAPs
- Great animated meeting POAP for Design Guild meetings
- Project work streams and bounties spun up
- Got through re-election process successfully
- Very high profile in POAPathon this year and brought some talent back to bDAO from there
Key outcomes
- Hirokennely (part of writers guild) would reach out to Design Guild talent coordinators to get talent to create art for their work
- Now has list of 13 designers they are calling on regular basis from Design Guild
- Getting Guest Passes paying jobs alongside onboarding new members to the guild
What to improve
- Utilize threads more - especially for things like Job Postings, polls, time sensitive info that we need easy access to
Season 3 forecast
Ideas/Initiatives
- Goal to be the guild to bring most Guest Passes up to L1
- Creating a way for new members to get involved right away - hopefully to help with artist retention
- Possibly add as an optional step of the onboarding into the guild from the Talent Coordinators?
- Creating something that we can post to Instagram?
- Have place for people to post NFTs or POAPs they created to show off portfolios
- Have a data point for active members - weekly meeting attendance
- Most active member of the season?
