Why ConsensysMesh and why Web3?

Current State Web3 Marketing
- Overarching theme is immaturity
- From a complete lack of knowledge on how to work with marketing team to how to set a marketing budget to team structure

- Performance Marketing (Growth) vs. Brand Marketing (Partnerships + Community)
- Tunnel vision creating too much brand similarity
- Events+Content OVER Partnerships
