Applying for marketing committeeThings done and involved in:
1. Set up nxtcoins.nl and posting a minimum of one article on it (summaries, client articles, personal essays, charity):
http://www.nxtcoins.nl/2. Helping out with the Songs of Love charity by keeping it in people's minds and by providing escrow service:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468258.03. Actively involved with Nxtopia Game project:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=474535.04. I'm moderator of the /r/Nxt subreddit and actively helping out there:
http://www.reddit.com/r/NXT/5. I have been actively involved with most discussions on Nxt, while being aware that technology is not my forte. That's why my energy goes to things I dó know about.
6. Currently working to get a professional Branding Agency to develop the Nxt brand, not by throwing much money at them, but by offering them a fair amount (30,000 Nxt) which will rise exponentially in value when they do their job right. I like to incentivise working and not give out freebies. I also like people to actually be involved with Nxt instead of just providing services from the "outside".
7. Doing the same with a small group of investors for Nxt payment modules that do not require 3rd parties to handle the merchants' money.
Professional background:
1) 15 years in theatre as a director/lighting tech/actor/writer. Had my own company for most of these years. Believe me, I have already máde most mistakes with money in the past! Painful, but good lessons!
2) Due to having had to work in lots of different projects and with different groups over the years I have a good feel for what makes particular groups "tick" and how to change tack to reach them.
3) Currently working as a sales/marketing rep for a European company that sells meditation materials. What can I say, I like odd combinations. Also, yes, I meditate often and find benefit in it. < a propos of nothing.
What will I do as a committee member:
a) I intend to listen to every proposal fairly and ask questions that need to be asked.
b) I will judge on "value for value". Projects must be beneficial to the spread of Nxt and the Nxt ecosystem.
c) I will strive to ask as much for clarity and reduce "vagueness" where possible. If I go by "gut" feel, I will always state that, so people know it is not backed by numbers.
d) Basically I intend to do as I already do: throw myself into the job, because I like it, it fires my imagination and I fully intend to make it fire others, too.
e) I don't believe in marketing by opposing others, but by trusting in our own strength.
