The official PIVX Ambassador Program established in the fall of 2017 as an early-stage marketing initiative came to fruition in 2018 and with the help of some PIVX champions. Since then, there are now 21 Official PIVX Ambassadors. It’s had some funding early on and then privately funded in the summer of 2018. The rest of the time, Chad has volunteered his time and creativity to the program. We present this proposal on behalf of all our PIVX Ambassadors.

**Goals:**
To continue to serve as an official PIVX support and care team, empowering, managing and equipping them in there endeavor to share PIVX in their region via events (meetups and larger events), one-on-ones, merchant adoption goals.

We also will support their efforts in delivering awesome, relevant and impacting content every week for PIVX main marketing as well as serving the local community channels. Gathering stories from Meet-ups and merchant relations working closely with the main PR team.

The 2nd phase goal is developing regional marketing teams to include hyper-local content, aiming to work with local artists and content creators to deliver the marketing materials in their language and voice as well as using images appropriate to their culture. Grow the marketing team!

This can be seen in our work with ZOne Zetty (PIVXpress/Espaniol, meetups, merchant adoption, etc) Jeffrey in South Africa, (How Fast is your Crypto?, merchant adoption and videos, etc.)JoaquimF [Brasil] and Cacalillos [Colombia], SAmGiset [VE] We hope to use these as the case study to then find others in the regions where we have an Ambassador present. This includes funds to pay them.

We will continue to develop and protect the PIVX brand and its message by helping PIVX continue to progress with global brand awareness and product acceptance via designs for social media, prints, product designs, merchandise, videos, event marketing, sponsorships, newsletters, and more strengthening the market with a localized Strategy.

**History**
Chad and his work are now seen as thought leaders and brand experts around the globe, with crypto-investors and blockchain projects approaching us due to the success and impact of brand marketing. We have over the past year and a half increased our capacity to facilitate for the continued growth following our successful rebrand in January 2017. Our goal is to continue to develop and convey the PIVX brand to the market with a cohesive, creative, professional, and approachable message to ensure PIVX takes the next leap forward, and support the other emerging arms of forums, social, marketing, PR, video and paid promotion.

**Value Drivers:**
Rhubarb Media is a creative studio with 14 years of experience in local, regional and global companies and Chad, the Creative Director comes with over 25 years working in the creative communications market.

We gave birth to the PIVX name and brand and delivered the creative designs contributing to PIVX’s rapid growth along with a dedicated support team.

We also bring a strong strategic communications background in looking at new ways to market PIVX and improve our offerings as well as a strong dedication to maximizing our efforts and stretching the PIVX budget by equipping and empowering PIVians around the globe.

In addition, and perhaps harder to quantify, is the work that occurs “outside” the scope of brand development and creative. Although we spend a lot of time in production, because of our visibly, we are also a gateway to new investors. We are some of PIVX’s most vocal supporters and sales force bringing PIVX a ROI, not often attributed to our creative work.

**PROPOSAL OVERVIEW AND CATEGORIZATION**
The following is a breakout of the various levels of managing and supporting the Ambassador Program, the costs associated with each component, the people and team members involved

**Communication:**
Reports will be available on the forum and via the PIVX Ambassador channel.

Monthly audio call scrums (15 mins) with Ambassador team as they can attend. This has not been easy, but we will try each month for a check in.

Its been quiet for activity these past few months, but things are still happening and funds delivered. Since payouts to individual Ambassadors have lessened due to less activity, funds have been re-allocated to helping the active players. This support includes helping to pay for video/audio equipment or covering some expenses to attend key events, like The Web Summit including some PIV for shwag. We have designed and sent out presentational and marketing materials in 7 different languages (props to our translation team). The new PIVX brochure is being used in a few of the regions. Backdrops and step and repeat banners, cards, social designs, and general intake and onboarding support continue as well as regular check-ins by myself. This past round 600PIV has been used for contests, giveaways, and tips. we've only seen a couple of new Ambassador applications and they are in the system. Most are waiting for 4.0 to get back to regular promotion.
 
Excellent proposal You are a great support for us ambassadors. Chad thank you for guiding and supporting us.
