Poppin Puffins Top 3 in Terra! UPDATE
by Lil Auk
As of this message, we are in the top 3 of NFT projects on Random Earth! Only the biggest projects are above us. A great day in Puffin History. But it’s not about the sales or floor number, it’s about what those numbers represent — the incredible efforts of our Colony, team, and partners. And I want to recognize what I believe those efforts are…
First, we want to make sure that we call out and thank our new marketplace partner Messier.art for backing us as the first OG mint on their new platform. There’s no doubt that this opportunity has helped us gain new followers and members in recent days. Even though we had to push the mint date back, Messier really have been great to work with, very responsive and collaborative in all aspects from technical to marketing. For example, without their support, we wouldn’t have been able to paint the Berlin wall, and that video has been a big hit. With Messier as our partner, we’re confident that the mint will be a big success on March 1st!
From the outset, we have all made sure that the Puffins is a welcoming community with a long term mission in mind, and we want new members and other projects to immediately feel this character when they buy a Puffin, enter our Discord, or collaborate with us. Everything we do as a team or community should align with that mission through maintaining a welcoming mentality, a focus high-quality art/experience, and thoughtful long-term planning.
Colony members have begun to spread their Puffin wings by creating sub-communities on Twitter with fun, unique personalities like Muffin Mafia and the Weekend Dad Club. You should all be encouraged to take your Puffin to create your own world or story! Don’t forget, you own your Puffin and the commercial rights to it. You have the CREATIVE UTILITY to use your NFT in your own way and create value. If you have a fun idea, need support or advice, you can always contact a Team Member. With art at our core, we are here to facilitate your creativity with our skills and experience!
Finally, we believe that a focus on content and experience is key to success for any of our goals. That’s why we recently hired @honchy as our new content manager. He joins us as the fourth official team member after @Lil Auk (founder, director), @TheOlifants (founder, artist), and @ZymaPro (community manager). Now we have the added power to translate ideas into powerful content that can reach new audiences and grow the Puffin brand.
So yes, we all see the number go up, but I think it’s important to make sure we all realize how those marketplace stats actually represent the hard work of different groups combining into one result.
So much more to talk about…but another day!
