 ## LEDGER Marcom Strategy and Growth Hacking Plan
 ## INTRODUCTION/VISION-VIEW
 In terms of Marketing and Communication Strategy (MarCom hereafter), LEDGER can be thought of as an 'attractor' involving four main communities froming LEDGER's community of communities: citizens and consumers, developers, policymakers and business communities together with all the stakeholders populating these networks.  In effect, it would be pretty farfetched to argue that LEDGER can become a game changer in the market without the contribution of these communities and related stakeholders bases. Therefore, special emphasis will be put on how to engage such parties. Given the resources and timespan of the project, the latter are fundamental to effectively contribute to the marketing, communication and dissemination of LEDGER’s values as emerging from the Strategic Research and Innovation Work Programme and the descending business value proposition.
 Contrary to most Push Marketing practices endorsed in the conventional market place, LEDGER’s MarCom strategy shall aim at pulling in and securing the involvement of the proper parties, i.e. those who can understand and appreciate LEDGER’s ethos values and business value proposition.
 Pull Marketing practices and techniques will be rolled out thanks to the dissemination of project's deliverables within the four communities, and related stakeholders bases, mentioned above.  In particular, LEDGER as an attractor is a dynamic process in which these four communities, and related stakeholders, will converge over time to provide a space for direct engagement and production of optimal exploitation strategies around LEDGER outcomes.
 Marketing activities will be organised at the light of the marketability needs of each vertical in order to promote a collaborative economy framework wherein each contributing party will acknowledge a direct and impactful engagement.
 Each vertical framework will leverage both the network outreach capabilities of evaluators and mentors. Moreover, marketing will be strictly intertwined with following the trail of dissemination activities in order to underpin MVPs with real world communities and meeting their real needs.
 Indeed, in the SRI Work Programme deliverable we have covered a wide range of results  that all confirm that there is a need for both software development and business models that take into account the non-neutrality of digital infrastructures in the enhancement of their respective narratives.
 In this context, non-neutrality results from the interaction of academic, policy, development and market forces, still promoting practices and techniques to achieve short-term thinking, compulsory growth, increased income disparity and decline in social capital. In this context it is important to remind that all affect each of these communities.
 These factors contribute to the inability for the four communities to have a common voice to advocate an emancipatory agenda to liberate them from the shortsighted constraints mentioned above. By contrast, when it comes to the advantages for citizens and consumers together with policy and business sectors’ awareness of the importance to serve society with their endeavours, LEDGER aims at promoting open source models that take into account sustainable growth for the social good.
 Accordingly, the MarCom strategy will be addressed to these communities as they make the overall perimeter of initial LEDGER impact.  The driving force will be the firm determination by the consortium to achieve successful outreach within all the four communities listed above. Successful outreach is measured to the extent to which LEDGER’s decentralised development ecosystems can be appealing to the citizens and operators working to let them meet their needs and desires in terms of decentralised data governance.
 ### CITIZENS AND CONSUMERS
 First, citizens and consumers communities are confronted with issues that too often do not account for the ‘negotiable divide’ impelling onto them. Both policymakers and business communities are not always in tune with the needs of citizens and consumers in that the latter have to account for market dynamics that do not allow to take care of the problems affecting the former.
 With LEDGER, both marketing and communication strategies will need to account for this lack of presence from the poles that affect them the most in their potential for choices that would empower and assist them in re-appropriating the  socio-economic outcomes of the data and value belonging to them.
 Hence, citizens and consumers will be endowed with knowledge and tools to face the negotiable divide in order to let them have a voice in the process of emancipation from socio-economic models that do not serve their needs and desires.
 From a better understanding of both rights and duties of e-citizenry and e-commerce practices to the possibility to engage with LEDGER’s online communication platforms, both citizens and consumers will find ways, through social media and real world channels, to take part to the conversation affecting their ability to bargain for the kind of services that they purposefully aspire to enjoy as a right or to buy from the market.
 ### DEVELOPERS
 Secondly, developers will be periodically informed about the state of the software stack developed within LEDGER from LEDGER GitHub’s channels (LINK TO LEDEGR GITHUM AS FOR T1.6 STATED IN THE THE PROPOSAL). by leveraging on community dynamics, they will have the possibility to further influence the direction of development and will be heard in terms of their needs when they relate to how decentralised data governance should grow within the different vertical use cases.
 PLEASE ASPASIA AND JARO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS (Secondly)
 ### POLICYMAKERS
 Policymakers are the communities that have a remarkable negotiable power in terms of project outreach outside the MVPs lab environment. Thus, at the policymaking level, LEDGER MarCom strategy will target both individuals and groups who have a stake into the outcomes of the project.
 LEDGER will therefore encourage marketing, communication and dissemination activities to influence opinion and decision making processes within the policy domain by directly informing and attending to events promoted first and foremost by the Commission and relevant Directorates General, esp. those relevant to the implementation of solutions to problems affecting LEDGER’s verticals.
 ### BUSINESS COMMUNITIES
 LEDGER success will be measured in terms of uptake of its MVPs by the market populated by citizens and consumers enabled to access business models that serve their needs while avoiding to ask anything in exchange without their previous knowledge and consent. As a result and thanks to FBA and BLM’s leading roles, consumers and business communities will be involved as a central dissemination and communication channel to promote and grow LEDGER’s values and value proposition. Both are structurlly interwoven, in that values cannot be framed independently of the value proposition underpinning them. This will in fact be the primary marketing and communication strategy for the project, because it is, to our knowledge, the aspect that mostly characterises LEDGER when compared to other in ether public or private endeavours in the decentralised data governance areas.
 Indeed, business communities are getting more and more aware about the topics and importance of the agenda that LEDGER is embodying. In turn, they are central for the uptake and upscaling of MVPs from LEDGER in that they can enjoy the adequate position and community outreach for large scale adoption of LEDGER’s venture builder solutions.
 ## IMPACT
 Because of its decentralised and innovative nature,  LEDGER MarCom's pragmatic impact cannot be measured in a linear and progressive way a priori. By leveraging from the evaluators and mentors communities, together with consortium partners, LEDGER will aim at building independent and autonomous groups which will endorse LEDGER's model and value proposition in order to disseminate in their civi, policymaking, developmental and business practices in a decentralised way and throughout the six verticals animating MVPs production.
 More than quantitative KPIs, MarCom will aim at involving communities and individuals who have a prior engagement in their activities which overlaps, completely or in part, with LEDGER’s values and value proposition. The updating and further dissemination of LEDGER’s output should count on communities who have already an ethos that is compatible with decentralised data governance.
 In this context, LEDGER aims at providing a decentralised development ecosystem, which can serve the rods communities’ needs in terms of both technical and marketability standpoints.
 ## Content Production Management and Distribution Strategy for LEDGER
 ## 1. Editorial guidelines
 This editorial guidelines are here to provide all partners and involved participants with the essential information that needs to be distributed in all the stages of the duration of the LEDGER project as well as after the closing of the project in order to additionally provide with fulfilling the projects goals.
 Content Creation, internal validation, distribution and evaluation of impact is analysed and exposed and the necessary workflow drafted.
 Content should attract participants for the first as well as the second Open Call of the project; express the characters of the ledger project through and within the single project highlights and results and be available to be changed to reflect the evolution of the project in his itearations during the 3 years. Communication and marketing of the project should equally promote and document the development of the project through the sum of the participants work, the evolution of the technologies and the progress being made in each vertical. Content distribution tactics and special needs are as well hinted.
 The guidelines will be visible to the participants, however it is expected that close monitoring of the communication spaces and some hands-on editing will be necessary in time by the Dyne.org communication team and to be validated through pair review between partners.
 The following document will be in place to ensure best possible compliance with the guidelines:
 - LEDGER project consortium partners, will be informed specifically about the time in the project where they should provide with promotional material and other communications content
 - Consortium partners in charge of organizing events and bootcamps as previously agreed on, will be instructed to provide with ways (access) in order to create video documentation and other content both for external and internal communication and for general documentation .
 As part of the communication coordination meetings in LEDGER project producing and enabling production of communication, marketing and documentation material will be addressed accordingly.
 ## 2. Structure of the materials and creation workflow
 Production of communication materials and the act of communicate follows this first diagram.
 Internally there are two main repository for shared materials: files, images, tempates, modules, temporary sharing, project folders etc. go on cloud.dyne.org, code and documentation and collectively written complex documents go on gitea.dyne.org.
 ![Workflow-simple.png](./images/Workflow-simple.png)
 Folder structure for the communication cross partners and with participants is to be kept in git or in nextcloud to availability of the consortium and the perticipants. Structure is the one summarised in the following tree. Workflow and usage notes will be put in readme.md as it is custom with documentation.
 Follows the proposed taxonomy as a structure of folders

 ## 3. Materials (/Communication)
 General communication groups are represented in this diagram. Access is readable by contact.
 ![Internalcommunications.png](./images/InternalCommunication.png)
 ### 3.1. Brand (/Communication/1.Brand)
 LEDGER project has to be integrated into NGI brand guidelines and has to be divagated in the contexts created by NGI. At the same time the communication aim of LEDGER wants to outreach to communities of FLOSS developers and more marginal communities that might be alienated by the language, both visual and in other ways narrative of a traditional campaign. This document aims to be a guide that includes this perspective.
 ####	3.1.1. brand book for LEDGER project
 A Brand book is a very good tool for general communication. It can evolve from the coordinate communication already studied for Ledger Project.
 It includes though some simplified answers to generic questions that allow to present the project properly to any of the people involved.
 It includes as well a general visual guideline.
 The book is a living doc that includes synonyms and explanations for key concepts.
 #####  Examples of Questions and Answers:
 - Q: What is LEDGER
 - Q: Why is it different/better/interesting?
 ####	3.1.2. general guidelines
 ### 3.2. Moodboards (/Communication/2.Moodboards)
 	- useful tool in the process of abstrating visual and semantical values from concepts and ideas. To be compiled per vertical or more general, take the shape of a collection of images.
 	NOTE: I would prefere to have only one mood, that applies to all verticals, and not to indulge too much to splitting our message in its thematic declinations (fredd)
 ### 3.3. Texts (/Communication/3.Texts)
 Some Examples of the textual material that will be compiled for the many editing purposes necessary to the consortium communication.
 ####	3.3.1. Internal-EU language register
 ##### Basic information and main goals of the LEDGER project
 LEDGER - Decentralised Data Governance for the Next Generation Internet - is a project funded by the European Commission (GA 825268 - http://ledgerproject.eu/). Between 2019 and 2021, the LEDGER project has the mandate to distribute financial support to third parties in a cascade funding framework named Venture Builder Programme.
 LEDGER aims to support teams of developers, designers and researchers by leveraging free and open source frameworks and the development of Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to achieve new models that preserve citizens’ digital sovereignty. The technological stack should leverage solutions at the intersection of Distributed Ledger Technologies (e.g. Blockchain), Peer to Peer (P2P), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Immersive Media and new connective infrastructure as 5G.
 The mission is to eliminate concentration of data in a few proprietary platforms by accelerating 32 bottom-up teams with their solid research background1 on human centric values such as privacy-by-design, reliability, trustworthiness and openness.
 Elected teams have to provide with Minimum Viable Products spanning into 6 verticals: Health, Economy, Mobility, Public Services, Energy & Sustainability plus one open to other topics named Disruptive Innovation.
 ###### Health
 A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.1  Because of the diffusion of wearables and mobile apps, a convergence of medical data coupled with an increasing quantity of non-medical and healthy lifestyle related data, there are new opportunities in terms of operators’ engagement and patient self-management.
 Expected Impact:
 - To optimise individual and community self-reliance and participation in the planning, organisation, operation and control of health care in concert with public and private providers of health services.
 - Minimum Viable Products contributing to boost digital health sovereignty, which would see public health as intimately bound up in how people create and replicate their communities, can leverage local knowledge, values, new technological opportunities and interconnections to better address emergent health issues.
 ###### Economy
 There is an urgency for technological innovation aimed at simplifying the life of consumers and offering improved services by industry players. Because of the lack of communication between legacy software systems there is a lack of transparency at almost all levels and compartments: from the complexity of terms of services to a built in discretion in the governance dynamics of the industry. In this context, market complexity, data leaks and threatened consumer rights require innovative solutions for the qualitative technical enhancement of digital railways to process financial transactions, operate spending reviews and apply regulations in a transparent and accountable way.
 Expected Impact:
 - The facilitation of experimentation on MVPs to improve the operations the financial services industry in a decentralised framework at the service of the real economy.
 - Structural adoption of dis-intermediated solutions for customers and industry operators.
 - Solutions should enhance technological, algorithmic and data sovereignty at the level of technical innovations and governance of power dynamics and value circulation in the industry.
 ###### Mobility
 LEDGER  looks for new models to address societal and environmental challenges in a vast sector of the economy that is under a huge transformation by virtue of fast innovation.  New collaborative and mobility-as-a-service business models are generating new economic value in this industry. By leveraging innovations coming from ICT, the sector is moving towards a more open ecosystem.
 Expected Impact:
 The types of expected impacts tackled by MVPs in this vertical relate to:
 - Viability and traffic with more intelligent data collection
 - Open, transparent and privacy-aware data mining techniques at the service of more than one efficient and resilient transport system
 - Tackling pollution to foster models that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote green energy powered mobility
 - Marginal utility gains through decentralisation in logistic for supply chain management. This also includes the impact of logistics transport and the need for new models, especially in urban areas, where deliveries cause a tremendous impact in the day-to-day routines.
 ###### Public Services
 Social services have been organised by endorsing the factory model resulting in a commodified model of citizenship. This has lead to extreme privatisation of public services, facilities and utilities and a pervasive approach to citizens control resulting in potential lack of European technological and digital sovereignty, sovereignty deficit when it comes to technology, algorithms and data management in public sector. As a result, challenges in the public services sector vary from the inherent complexity to execute procurement, to concretely and sustainably upscale innovative services, or still to create algorithms that are reusable in different circumstances and adaptable to different needs in different cities.
 Expected Impact:
 The goal is to address societal challenges from the bottom up and in a decentralised governance civic environment, whereby software serves the interests of all participants.
 ###### Energy and Sustainability
 In the next few years, the energy market is expected to  experience deep changes caused by planned policy reforms in the European Union with its 20-20-20 climate & energy package agreed in 2010.2 The energy sector is dominated by legacy, public-private national energy distribution companies where producers drain data and value from consumers on the main AC-Grid still relying on fossil fuels and an obsolete proprietary distribution system.  The producers and consumers of renewable energy (the prosumers) are the same passive actors that produce energy and simply give it back to the main grid which in turn increases its profits by leveraging Big Data related to users.
 Expected Impact:
 - Increasing the efficiency and savings opportunities of the consumers acquiring energy from traditional sources while accounting for social and  environmental costs.
 - Fostering a more cooperative, sustainable and resilient decentralised model for natural resources management, based on consumers’ co-investment into collectively owned micro-grids, and business models rewarding not only traditional actors but also prosumers.
 ###### Open Innovative Projects
 Vertical reserved for further societal challenges that need to be addressed.
 Expected Impact:
 - Contributing to address topics related to Sustainable Development Goals not addressed in the other verticals.
 - Strengthening and diversifying the offer of the LEDGER ecosystem of tools for decentralised data governance.
 - Contribute to the diffusion of solutions that are not contemplated in the five verticals analysed in previous sections of the work programme.

 ### 3.4. FLOSS Based Economies
 The evaluation of projects will focus on authentic feedback provided by communities of participants as well as their impact according to quantitative and financial indicators. The aspect of shared gains for the entire ecosystem impacted by projects will be regarded as an added value and a positive aspect of the proposed projects.
 The successful project will be characterized by the interference of the four different concepts:
 - Creation is the inception and realisation of ideas.
 - Appropriation is the adaptation of ideas to a specific context.
 - Sharing is the circulation of ideas, open to study by others.
 - Distribution is the packaging and documentation of ideas.
 The envisioned concepts should relate in a way introduced by the Free Culture Movement and F/OSS based economies:
 ### 3.4.1 Virtuose creation
 Semiotic square of virtuose creation
 > image should be remade to fit brand identity
 The circularity suggests that any moment represented can be a starting point for agencies that focus on the process rather than a final result. The Distribution moment here acquires the form of a free and open market where interactions can be structured, traced and categorised: brilliant examples for such distribution models are on-line platforms like Soundcloud for musicians or Github for programmers, whose popularity and sustainability is noticeable despite the apparent lack of a “business model” and even the absence for monetisation through advertisements. Appropriation thus becomes not a moment for the restriction and management of author rights, but brings us back to the meaning of “Appropriate Technology” and includes the contextual and distributed agency for translations, adaptations, customisations and user experience improvements within certain communities. Creation follows Appropriation and indicates that the moment of authorship is closely bound to that of appropriated education as an intelligible passage of values between a concrete instance of knowledge and the individual. The individual or collective moment of Creation is less isolated from other moments and, rather than representing the enclosing act of immaterial property (often and wrongly referred to as intellectual property, it highlights that creation by individual or collectives depends on how vibrant is the context of Sharing and how effective is the Appropriation of value circulation within the language and schemes that form practitioners.
 ### 3.5. NGI-Identity (/Communication/4.NGI-Identity)
 We are requested to fit as well some requirements of the founding program NGI
 [Fill here the necessary guidelines]
 ### 3.6. Software Documentation (/Communication/5.SoftwareDocumentation)
 > Fill in guidelines for acceptable and good documentation, role of public and private GIT etc

 ### 3.10. Projects-firstround (/Communication/9.projects-firstround)
 ## 2. KPI
 LEDGER aims to support European internet innovators such as teams of minimum 3 people among developers and researchers to design and implement their projects as Minimum Viable Products.
 We want to share some important performance indicators upfront with all participants:
 - Inclusion: Participants as well as their projects need to reflect a large and diverse public of different gender, age and cultural backgrounds.
 - Multidisciplinarity: Academic preparation is a requirement for only ONE member of the team while gender, ethnical and cultural diversity will be deemed as an indicator of quality.
 - Early stage to delivery: The teams might be composed by individuals, but also by employees from small or medium enterprises, in which cases the group will be closely evaluated for their human-centric approach and the will to collaborate with the rest of the LEDGER community.
 ## 3. Criteria
 General Criteria of evaluation: the community of participants
 The evaluation of projects will focus on authentic feedback provided by communities of participants as well as their impact according to quantitative and financial indicators. The aspect of shared gains for the entire ecosystem impacted by projects will be regarded as an added value and a positive aspect of the proposed projects.
 The successful project will be characterized by the interference of the four different concepts delined in 3.4.1:
 - Creation is the inception and realisation of ideas.
 - Appropriation is the adaptation of ideas to a specific context.
 - Sharing is the circulation of ideas, open to study by others.
 - Distribution is the packaging and documentation of ideas.
 ## 4. Verticals
 In this paragraph we repeat and collect the specific needs for communication of the verticals, in particular with regard of the projects selected.
