Pairing Art and Infographics to Raise Awareness for Steem [Spotlight on #kr-marketing]
Project Spotlight - @sndbox reaches out to creative individuals and communities of all experience levels. Our goal is to raise awareness towards new users, seasoned Steemians and impactful Steem-powered projects. Today, we spoke with the team behind @kr-marketing, a Sndbox Sponsored project with a powerful vision for the future of creativity and marketing on the blockchain.
@sndbox: Hello @leesol and @lessongyi! For everyone getting to know you two for the first time, tell us a bit about yourselves.
Hello! We are illustrators, @leesol and @leesongyi. We’ve been posting our illustrations on Steemit ever since we came here last May. We’re also proud members of Sndbox. As you all know, Sndbox has been offering incubating system to help Steemians settle in Steemit and to support them with their projects in real life using cryptocurrency. Sndbox has inspired us to think how we can contribute to the ecosystem of Steemit and after months of consideration and preparation, we’ve made a new collaborative account - @kr-marketing.
@sndbox: What is the goal of @kr-marketing?
The goal of @kr-marketing is simple. We intend to increase the number of users on Steemit, and push forward its good content. If the number of Steemit users increase, it’ll attract new investments from organizations and companies and that’ll ultimately help raise the value of Steem. In order to do this, what we’re planning to do the following:
1- Distribute Infographics. As you know, there are lots of high-quality contents regarding cryptocurrency on Steemit. We’re making them into infographics which are not only easy to understand, but also can be easily shared via SNS. We’re posting infographics to Steemit (through the @kr-marketing account), Facebook, and Naver Post (a major Korean blog source). We’re hoping the Steemit URL in the infographics will attract more people to the platform.
2- On-line/Off-line Advertisement. Some part of the author rewards of the infographic posts go to the original authors. Another part covers operational costs and the rest is saved for the cost of advertisements. We’re considering advertising on Facebook, on transportation vehicles, on billboards, etc. Currently, however, Facebook bans all kinds of advertisement regarding cryptocurrency. So as of now, we’re aiming for off-line. When we have enough Steem/SBD through infographic posts, we’ll jump right into producing real-world advertisements.
3- Influencer Marketing. What would happen if powerful influencers came to Steemit and became star Steemians? Just imagine how much positive impact they can bring about Steemit and cryptocurrency. We’re going to make detailed plans and implement them one by one.
@sndbox: What is your current status and some of your future goals?
Among the projects we mentioned above, we’re currently focusing on posting infographics. We’re very glad and grateful that people like them and those posts have high views. Once we save enough money, we’ll put up an ad. We’re thinking about events held in colleges and movie theaters, which are relatively less expensive. If the number of Steemit users increase, we plan to do marketing with companies. Ultimately, we hope to persuade partner institutions to invest in Steem.
@sndbox: How can Steemians get involved and support you?
Right now we’re making infographics in the KR community only, mainly because there are no translators to do this project with. We hope to translate the infographics into English, so that Steemians outside of KR can also enjoy and leverage the content. We’re doing our best to promote @kr-marketing, which can motivate content providers to make high-quality posts and introduce Steemit to outside world. Your interest and support toward @kr-marketing articles will be greatly appreciated. Lastly, we’d like to thank @sndbox for the inspiration and support, thank you!

From someone that is not an early adopter nor a tech savvy, I am beyond grateful for all the efforts that @leesongyi & @leesol have been putting in to spread public knowledge of blockchain with @kr-marketing.
I have been subscribing both @kr-marketing and their individual contents since I joined Steemit. And I tell you, their creative minds are going to go further than whatever the possibilities that are stated in Steemit White paper. Sky is the limit, ya heard ;)
Without encouragement from @mintvilla, we would not have got the courage. Thank you so much :D
We were inspired by @sndbox activities and we could start @ kr-marketing. We'd like to thank you for this wonderful posting and the many people who encourage us.
Like me start by welcoming @kr-marketing onboard steemit, your goal towards increasing the number of steemit users as well as preaching the good news about steemit is a welcome development to the blockchain and like you said above, it will help usher in new and quality investors with will help in raising the valve of steem.
And stopping by @sndbox page will help propel you and announce you more to steemians and I am very sure most steemians if not all will be willing to buy your initiatives as it is a welcome development in steemit. We steemians look forward to seeing you excel @kr-marketing, I have followed you and @sndbox keep doing great things in the blockchain and keep up with supporting every creative and educative aspect in steemit as well as promoting steem.
I wish all the luck of the world to @leesol and @lessongyi with their project @ kr-marketing, the most difficult thing of all is to start after the beginning the path will be easier ..

Congratulations @leesol and @lessongyi, I praise your work to promote steemit, it really seems difficult at the beginning, because of the costs and the huge project, but when you see the fruits, you will see that it was worth the effort.
@sndbox congratulations to you too, for supporting all those small projects from the beginning, deverdad that they apply what it means to be here, congratulations and continue to support, there are many macro-projects that need to be discovered, and you are the explorers: D
These approachable descriptions and fun infographics created by #kr-marketing are becoming a huge resource for the Steem ecosystem. It's exciting to see the amount of engagement they've received! Steem on guys :)
Thank you very much @voronoi, thanks to your support of our project, we have been able to do well so far :D
