A recap of our 2022 activation at DesignerCon, where we had tremendous fun and established connections with key collaborators like VeVe (https://www.veve.me/), Graffiti+ (https://graffitiplus.io/), and more.
We are requesting $24,800 USDC to expand Nouns’ presence and amplify brand awareness at DCon in Las Vegas, Nevada (November 15-17, 2024). Our goal is to onboard and engage a new generation of creators and leaders in the entertainment space with interactive activations that bring the Nouns experience to life. We will expand our presence within the vibrant designer and collectible arts community and build on the momentum of NOUNSFEST and NOUNSTOWN, creating a bridge between nouns and these talented creatives.
DesignerCon is the premier direct-to-consumer event for artists and creators across industries like film, animation, music, and design showcase their side projects and dream ventures.
DesignerCon (DCon) is an annual convention that merges collectible toys, custom apparel, art, and designer culture. It has celebrated the art of design for nearly two decades, attracting an audience of fans, collectors, and creators who share a love for unique artistic expression.
Klim and Bigshot.wtf have been a staple in the DCON ecosystem since the early days, and this activation will bring Nounish energy to DCON in an organic, authentic way that most web3 companies can't replicate. We aim to establish a formal relationship between DesignerCon and Nouns, connecting with a core audience whose creative talents can contribute meaningfully to the Nouns community.
DesignerCon’s cultural and digital impact is vast, reaching over 178 million followers across social platforms. By participating, we’ll capitalize on this unique chance to introduce Nouns to an audience of art enthusiasts and families, many of whom already show interest in digital and physical collectibles.
Since 2013, DesignerCon has remained the landmark event for the exploding designer collectibles market, providing an unparalleled opportunity to engage a highly creative and niche audience. Each year, over 60,000 artists, fans, and collectors and their families flock to this event, making it the ideal setting to proliferate Nouns and onboard a new wave of creative talent into the ecosystem.
DesignerCon sets itself aside as the most significant sales event of the year for artists and brands who create licensed and original artworks, separating it from other expos that have cropped up in similar fields.
Businesses make millions of dollars during DesignerCon week. e.g., In 2021, the digital market place VeVe outperformed YouTube and TikTok as the highest-grossing iOS app during DesignerCon weekend, boasting $3,700,000+ in sales.
The proposed programs and goals are as follows:
This activation will pave the way for future collaborations and an expanded presence at future DesignerCon events, possibly even at DesignerCon Hong Kong in 2025 where we hope to execute robust displays showcasing everything that various nounish communities are building.
