This proposal seeks to expand the RootstockCollective Ambassador Program by appointing three regional ambassadors based in Japan, the UAE, and Hong Kong or Singapore. Their primary mission will be to amplify RootstockCollective’s visibility through promotional activities such as hosting local meetups, running social media campaigns, and representing the DAO at regional events. Unlike previous cohorts, these ambassadors will focus exclusively on outreach and promotion, not community moderation or educational content. Compensation will remain 1,000 USDC/month per ambassador, managed through the RootstockCollective Foundation on behalf of the DAO.

Proposed Solution/Action This proposal introduces three regionally focused ambassadors who will:

• Organize and host at least one in-person meetup per month in their city (Tokyo, Dubai/Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, or Singapore).
• Lead or co-host at least one X Space or online promotional event per month.
• Create a minimum of four social media posts per month (in English and/or local language) aligned with DAO priorities.
• Represent RootstockCollective at regional crypto events when possible.

The RootstockCollective Foundation will

• Appoint and oversee the three ambassadors.
• Validate deliverables (meetup reports, social posts, X Spaces).

Justification and Benefits

• Expands DAO visibility into strategic regions with active crypto adoption.
• Builds localized trust and grassroots presence.
• Focused promotional scope ensures clear, measurable deliverables.
• Leverages ambassadors as “DAO faces” at regional events and meetups.

Expected Results

• Establish a consistent RootstockCollective presence in Japan, UAE, and Hong Kong or Singapore through monthly meetups and event participation.
• Increase visibility of RootstockCollective across social media platforms, measured by engagement and reach.
• Strengthen grassroots connections with local crypto communities, fostering trust and awareness of Rootstock and its ecosystem.
• Generate a pipeline of regional partnerships and collaborations through ambassador networking.
• Provide measurable promotional impact through transparent reporting of events, posts, and community interactions.

Measurable Results

• Meetups: Minimum of 1 per month per ambassador, tracked by attendance numbers, photos, and event summaries.
• Social Media: At least 4 posts per month per ambassador, measured by impressions, & engagement (likes, shares, comments).
• X Spaces / Online Events: Minimum of 1 per month per ambassador, measured by live attendance & replay views.
• Community Impact: Quarterly comparison of regional community growth, partnerships initiated, and brand mentions.
• New Stakers: Monthly growth targets per ambassador, benchmarked against DAO goals (e.g., 5–10 new stakers in active months).

Funding Request Total Funding: 9,000 USDC for a 3-month period. Breakdown: 3 ambassadors x 1,000 USDC/month x 3 months = 9,000 USDC DiscourseLink:https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/2509-rootstockcollective-ambassador-proposal-searching-for-collective-ambassadors/590
