Bitshares is leaving its conceptual beginnings and actually becoming useful and viable alternative to big centralised exchanges like poloniex.

We are at a milestone where bitshares is stable and actually works well, It is time to get this message out there.
It is time to pay for a dedicated and sustained marketing campaign.
A head of marketing for bitshares paid for by a worker proposal who would achieve the following.
- A brand new shiny website
- A dedicated bitshares conference
- A spokesperson who can arrange interviews with bitcoin press etc and appear regularly on podcast/youtube channels
- A concise and professional intro video as well as more tutorial videos.
- A regular social media presence twitter, youtube, fb, reddit, mumbles, forum, telegram
- Pay for some ad placements and evaluate the conversion sign up rate of each ad campaign.
- Report weekly to the community on what they have done and have planned for the next week.
I propose they should work full time and get paid approx. $2000 per month.
If we want commitment from them we would need to commit to paying them for at least 6 months with the opportunity to go full time if they produce results.
$2000k per month would be their monthly salary, but they would also need a big budget to get the tasks above achieved.
There would be no point in paying a head of marketing if they had no budget to spend on marketing.
Ideally it would be someone within the community already as bitshares has such a steep learning curve it would take too long to train them up.
Who would be up for this role?
This idea is bound to be controversial due to its cost (especially with the Chinese) but personally I think the time is right for something like this.
