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. +In terms of Marketing and Communication Strategy (MarCom hereafter), LEDGER can be thought of as an 'attractor' involving four main communities forming LEDGER's community of communities: citizens and consumers, software developers, policymakers and business communities `I am not sure if I understand what business communities are. An example?` together with all the stakeholders populating these networks. LEDGER can become a game changer in the market only with the contribution of these communities and their stakeholders. 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. +Unlike 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. Such 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 as 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 the LEDGER outcomes. -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.

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. -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. +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 `what all refers to here?` affect each of these communities. -Each vertical framework will leverage both the network outreach capabilities of evaluators and mentors.
