If there is marketing proposal that involves any professionals it will immediately get my vote. But if there are ones like currently a few out there, not only they won’t get my vote but I will use my considerable resources to make sure they don’t get funding. Pure and simple.
Please, please someone write a proposal where they show that they hire a digital marketing company to promote hive,
But that tip bot, man. It's gonna make Hive an household name!

What about a simple proposal for Brave ads for 10k plus a small administrative fee, or similar ideas.
I am game.
@roomservice had a proposal out for advertising on Brave a long time ago. Brave would be a great place to advertise too since there are a lot of people already in the crypto world using Brave. Advertising what exactly would be the hardest part, where do you have people come to? Our onboarding is still pretty bad and without RC pools existing to let users be able to use the chain, if we can't have retention, it won't be worth it right away.
It was $200/day. Who are you kidding?
Ah I didn't know much about it, just knew it existed.
Anyways.... doesn't exist now... so moot point anyways.
10k would be about $350/day to cover the campaign, not counting any overhead such as exchange fees. You could structure it as a single proposal for the subsequent month's campaign. You could keep everything in crypto assuming that Brave accepts BTC as payment. That way, if people don't like the results of the previous month, they don't have to vote on the next proposal. The challenge would be to get all the votes you need in time.
Smaller daily number but longer duration usually works best... at least in the beginning. Gives you more time to lobby and getting it funded
What about a delegation faucet? That too could be funded by the HDF and lock up a bunch of HP. After signing up and doing an intro post, a new user could just go to a faucet and pull a delegation.
I've already created something like that and it exists(https://giftgiver.site). It does get some decent usage(there's nearly 60 active delegations at this moment, you can view them @giftgiver's wallet), but having a much better version of it made by someone with a lot of experience would be awesome. I tried getting DAO funding for it back in Steem days but it never got too much attention and I haven't tried again since then to get any major funding from the DHF. Most of the power in there is curation rewards from earned from voting thanks to some delegators or powered up by me to the account or some other donators.
Fighting abuse with this is hard. Without having someone constantly monitor every account using it to make sure it's not just a vote ring, it can easily get abused. I've got some set limits with it and while I can't spend time looking at every single account using the delegations, I have friends who have let me know in the past if any users were abusers(plagiarizers mostly).
Best for hive would be influencer marketing / guest posts on popular crypto sites. But for that, hive need to be ready to onboard 10k-100k a day. I don't see the infrastructure for that.
We have no person for communications outside of hive. Before marketing we should have one first. Like Interviews with other Blockchain people and so on.
