Summary / Abstract
Pocket Network content promotion on largest cryptocurrency related subreddits and ensuring top rankings for each and every post. Subreddits are with 500k+ subscribers mostly.
Motivation
Pocket Network is a brilliant, highly innovative project that has in its team some of the brightest minds in the crypto industry. However, Pocket Network’s marketing has been very poor ever since I started following POKT almost a year ago. Things that are being done on the marketing side are mostly paid Press Releases on media sites like CoinTelegraph. For example, this is good, but it would achieve much wider reach and consequently higher efficiency if it’s being promoted on Reddit in front of thousands of laser-targeted audience.
I’m the one that was doing the Reddit promotions and Reddit marketing for POKT back in December 2021 just before POKT started exploding price-wise. My initial contact and connection with POKT was Nigel Dollentas, but he left the POKT team earlier this year. Ever since he left, I tried to connect with the POKT team members, but didn’t have success to reconnect so I stayed aside. From my point of view, it is very important for POKT to have high, continuous and quality presence in crypto related subreddits with 500k+ subscribers and readers, because tech doesn’t mean much if people are not aware of it and if there is no marketing and hype being built around the project.
There is no exact “ROI” per-se from this proposal. It’s hard to measure the exact ROI, but it definitely brings tons of new eyes and investors to POKT. I have a decent experience in Reddit promotions across multiple subreddits, which is importance since every subreddit has its own rules and policy against “shills”.
Samples of Previous Work
First of all, please check the comments, most of the comments are very positive about POKT and post wasn’t flagged as “shilling”, which is important, otherwise there would be a significant hate on the project. So, it is important not to over-do it.

Proof that it achieved #1 ranking again:
Budget and Deliverable(s)
Asking amount: $POKT equivalent to $2,150 USD monthly until cancelled. It includes at least 5 Reddit promotions within a month period and top positions achieved with highest visibility (every 5-6 days on average, but of course if there are hot news being pushed out by POKT team within few days time, it would be more often). Most of the time, it is #1 position achieved, which ensures that all the subscribers of certain subreddit receive a mobile notification about that post (those of you that are actively using Reddit know very well how it looks like).
Contributor(s)
I would be the sole contributor. I’m actively following all the events around POKT so I don’t need any guidance from the POKT team. However, I’m open for cooperation if POKT team wants to roll out some of the news as quick as possible within a short period of time, because it takes me at least an hour or two to prepare for the action. My background shouldn’t matter in this type of work, however, in case it matters,I have a Master’s Degree in Business Economics and currently working in a Central Bank of one the EU member states.
Report of the work would be done on a monthly basis summarized with all the details and a proof of work under this proposal. Also, I would be posting the link to Reddit post each time on POKT Discord if some community members want to upvote the post, engage in the discussion and support the post.
For any questions, I’m open for discussion. Happy to hear if the POKT community wants to keep the Reddit promotions going same as I did it before. Coincidence or not, POKT price started going up massively after these Reddit promotions. Thank you!
