SaveArtSpace x Nouns Billboard Exhibition A Mix of Static Billboards & Digital Bus Shelters for $40k USD in NYC:
8 - Billboards sized 22x11 - will be live for at least 4 weeks, up till someone else buys the space. 6 - Digital Bus Shelters - will be live for 4 weeks total.
Locations can be selected from a map/list of options. We can also have a discussion of whether we just want nouns glasses or also want to showcase some specific nouns (perhaps via some sort of auction that goes back to the nouns treasury). Prices are subject to change depending on city and install date and changes in ETH. So we may get slightly fewer or more depending on where the price settles when the ETH investment is approved and converted to USD to pay the vendors.

RobotFishGirl.eth.⌐◨-◨ I really like this in principle- I remember discussing this with Max on twitter a few weeks ago. That said, the prop needs to be WAAAAAAAAAY more thought out and clear about the impact, locations, billboard design, etc. before I'd feel comfortable saying yes. It's not a great look to have the discourse post be more comprehensive than the actual on chain prop. That said, I pass these digital bus stops every day and they're very definitely a worthwhile investment based on my own lived experience; the prop needs to be fixed though
profwerder ⌐◨-◨ FloriNouns Would make more sense to do this when there’s a conference like NFT.NYC.
Notes from Nouncil calls:
i'm enthusiastically in favor of simple and fun ways to increase visibility of nouns. and billboards are a great way to do that. but this proposal feels lackluster and the outcomes are unclear. i'd be a quick yes if this was resubmitted as a more considered campaign.
While I support Max in his efforts and appreciate his support for Nouns, the prop leaves a lot to be desired. Would vote FOR if revised to a more thoughtful prop.
After discussion on weekly nouncil call, I left feeling like the timing could be a little better to try something like this (maybe try in Miami for Basel or something similar.) It's a relatively low ask and I could have potentially been convinced to give it a try as an experiment in traditional outdoor advertising, but with dynamic quorum now in effect (shoutout Verbs!) this version will not pass, so I'll vote against and encourage the proposer to come back with a more detailed plan and maybe timing pinned to an IRL event if possible.
we need to fund more meaningful (or at the very least novel) ways to increase awareness about Nouns. If we ask for attention, what are we giving in return? What meaning are we impressing on people? Without considering these things and just contiuning to "be around" we will fail to make the kind of impact we want. Not a huge harm, but we're sending the wrong signal to builders about what we need.
Additionally this prop is lacking crucial details about what imagery actually appears and how. I think if the DAO ever funds image based advertising again it should either include mockups or proofs that both give clarity of what we're getting, and to instill confidence that the team can represent the brand in a high quality manner (unless perhaps the builder/artist has such an awesome reputation that).
i should submit a retroactive prop for half of the $30k i spent on extremely nounish times square activation during nft nyc
I participated in SaveArtSpaces for punks back in the time. I think it is a cool idea when it accompanies an event. But without context I don't think this prop brings much value for nouns.
Though I am a fan of this type of action in general, I want more than just a top-funnel activity. What does success look like for this, how do we measure impact, would this be better during an event? Could this be bigger? With the desired outcomes being squishy I will have to vote no at the current time but would encourage you to revisit and resubmit with some rework to your prop to help me say, "hell yes".
Nothing measured is nothing gained.
I agree with feedback that this proposal could use more detail, but given the team's proven track record, and the relatively low cost, I am comfortable voting in favor.
This is a great initiative for Nouns overall but there needs to be more meat on the bone here. What is the message? What are the visuals? Could we empower some artists and people from the community on these billboards?
It's not a big ask for what we are looking to do here, just think we need a "hell yeah- this is exciting!" moment and not a "sure, let's do some marketing" vibes.
Need more clarity in Proposal on details to know what will actually be stood up and what the process for deciding the details will be. Specifically this and this process, ex ante: "Locations can be selected from a map/list of options. We can also have a discussion of whether we just want nouns glasses or also want to showcase some specific nouns (perhaps via some sort of auction that goes back to the nouns treasury)."
