POLKADOT IRL CAMPAIGN #6 - THE CITY & CANARY WHARF, LONDON UK
Presented by CultureDot - 10.05.2024
THE PROPOSAL
London, United Kingdom - A Globally renowned financial hub and home to some of the largest international banks, securities brokerages, fintech companies and media organizations in the world.
As an example: Canary Wharf alone employs over 105,000+ staff working at big name firms such as JP Morgan, HSBC, Citbank, Barclays, KPMG, Reuters etc...
For this campaign we are narrowing down the target audience, advertising directly to relevant professionals via a network of in-building digital placements. We will target 91 digital screens across 41 buildings in the following locations - Canary Wharf, Bank Financial District, Liverpool St, Monument and relevant areas in / around Central London.

Design work will be completed by Algo SRL - the same agency used for Airport Zurich & Singapore as well as Lyft NYC.
We will be repurposing our completed animations to fit a myriad of office lobbies, hallways, elevator waiting areas and workspaces to match as best we can a corporate yet relevant Polkadot color scheme and copy with a refresh after 3 months.
All animations will have a trackable QR code to measure scans and we will share this information on a bi-monthly basis until the campaign is completed.

SubSquare has proposed a campaign for Polkadot in London, UK. The campaign will target professionals working in the banking, financial services, asset management, business management services, software, gaming companies, and creative and design agencies. The campaign will run for 5.5 months and will be advertised on 91 digital billboards across 41 office buildings in Canary Wharf, Bank Financial District, Liverpool St, Monument, and relevant areas in and around Central London. The proposal requests a total of 39,713 DOT ($246,220 USD) to cover the cost of the campaign, graphic design, agency fee, maintenance fee, and incidentals/misc. The proposal includes a list of building locations, employee count, and tenants of interest. The design work will be completed by Algo SRL, and all animations will have a trackable QR code to measure scans.
Threshold
This proposal is a well-crafted and strategic approach to promoting Polkadot in one of the world’s most influential financial centers. The budget allocation seems well thought out, with a clear plan for ad campaigns, graphic design, agency fees, maintenance, and incidentals. It’s also reassuring to know that any DOT sold above the $6.20 price point will be returned, showing transparency and responsibility in handling the funds. Targeting London's financial hubs like Canary Wharf and The City is smart. These areas are home to major international banks, fintech companies, and media organizations, making it a prime location for raising awareness about Polkadot.
I’m excited to see the positive outcomes this campaign will bring to our community and want to congratulate @CultureDot for cooking this up.
