The most important element of each NFT project is marketing. It directly influences the success of a project. And the most powerful marketing tool for NFT projects is Twitter.

This session consists of two parts: a lecture and a workshop

Lecture

In the first part, students will learn the basics of marketing strategies in NFT projects.

We will discuss the major topics to address for example the target audience, communication strategy, working with influencers, related costs, skills, etc.

After that, the basics will be matched with Twitter as the most important marketing tool, in particular, Twitter spaces.

The following topics will be handled:

• General marketing strategies in NFT projects
• Twitter and how to use it
• Twitter spaces – what is it and how to find the right one
• You have the chance to present your project – but what now?
• How your pitch should look like

Workshop

Students will be organized into 2-3 groups. Each group will be given an imaginary NFT project, and their task will be too.
