Outcomes

4,100 NFT’s sold to over 900 individuals to raise money for charity. The project was started and completed in under 2 weeks. I conducted a series of livestreams on twitch to articulate the projects objectives and conducted some live workshops / voting for community driven ideas and suggestions. We did another livestream of the donation where Save the Kiwis presented a slideshow to demonstrate the story and plight of the kiwi.

Marketing website for Season 1 of Cardano Kiwis. We had a countdown ticking to our launch date to promote a sense of urgency, along with a short story for the purpose of the project — explore NFT's as a channel to fundraise for charity. Overall a great success.
