So as most of you know by now I've locked up a booth for Vericoin at the Minnesota State Fair for the specific date of Saturday August 30th, from 11am-4pm. The Vericoin booth will be one piece of a bigger picture which is the Minnesota World Fair Expo 2023. Basically the state of MN is trying to win the bid to host the 2023 World Fair and they are using the annual state fair coming up to raise awareness & money to submit the bid to whomever the committee is that makes that decision.
So with that being said, I had a follow-up meeting today with the team behind this MN World Fair Expo 2023 to talk to them about bitcoin, vericoin, and crypto currency in general. Being that this team is really the state of Minnesota trying to win the bid - there were some pretty big names at the meeting, which out of respect I won't drop. We had SUCH a great meeting and they are very excited about crypto currencies as a whole. They love the idea of accepting them as well as advertising that they accept them to help raise awareness for this world fair 2023 expo. Being that the whole branding of this 2023 World Far is "forward thinking" they are unanimously in agreeance (if that's spell right) that crypto currencies should be part of their marketing efforts.
Therefore we are going to be teaming up to run a series of media relations/PR campaigns tying crypto currencies to everything they are doing. As the way they put it "you help us and we'll help you". By me helping them - I'm going to be helping them write content, film some stuff, spread the world in the crypto world of what's going on and really just be their right hand man through all of this. How are they going to help me in return? Well they know I'm directly tied not just to bitcoin but vericoin more specifically and they are more than willing to tie my name and more importantly VERICOIN to everything we are doing. We're talking full media relations; print, TV, internet - the full picture.
Now most of what will be done from a traditional media standpoint will be confined geographically to MN but... when it comes to the internet marketing that's really where we have an opportunity to make this big. They have a serious team behind this project with some serious power and I think as long as we show them the crypto currency community is supportive of what they are trying to do - they will continue to bring us along for the ride.
I have more to say on this whole topic but it's 1:15am, I have to get up early. I'll be back online tomorrow late afternoon to pick up with some more thoughts. They have really opened my eyes to a lot of great points that I would like to share with everyone. We have already talked about having me write some content for them to add to a press release as well as set up sometimes to meet again to do some filming. For now, hopefully this will get people as excited as I am.
