SocialMedia.Market aims to connect publishers and advertisers on a single platform. The project will leverage the Ethereum blockchain in order to create a decentralized ecosystem that will discover, create, perform and analyze advertising campaigns with social media influencers across any social media platform. The blockchain technology will allow the creation of a public and agile platform with an advertising marketplace accessible to everyone, even to up-and-coming influencers, startups and small businesses.

SocialMedia.Market – the first blockchain platform for influencer marketing announces launch of its ICO campaign. The public token sale will commence on November 16th, 2017. The presale will be opened in 14 days prior to the first phase.

In a world of non-effective advertisements which frustrate users, companies find it’s difficult to convey their message and gain the right brand exposure.Traditional advertising efforts are decline in every aspect. There is so much noise that consumers have massively shut down and turned out commercials using ad blocking solutions. However, in recent researches, people clearly state that online recommendations from someone within their social media circles can highly influence a buying decision. This is more impactful than any other traditional advertising method.

Companies start to understand the key of marketing is what others are saying about a brand, not what the brand is saying about itself. And by far this effect can be reached with influencer marketing as the most cost-effective advertising channel. The company’s research reveals current market situation, in which 59% companies plan to increase budgets for influencer marketing next year and 76% say it helps to foster customer loyalty and increase demand in the future.

“The reason influencer marketing is so effective because it’s more authentic than traditional advertising and it’s cheaper than traditional advertising in the long run. Small companies and big brands gradually realized that it may be more efficient to collaborate with influencers as they certainly know how to grab the power of their audience in much better way.” said Co-founder and CMO Aleksandra Morozova.

SocialMedia.Market is the first decentralized ecosystem that will help to discover, create, perform and analyze advertising campaigns with social media influencers and engage customers in the most relevant way. The platform will have no entry barrier and will be accessible even for micro-influencers and small businesses. The overarching goal of SocialMedia.market is to bring advertising market to the whole new level of safety and transparency and create a new generation of advertising.

Addressing solving the problems of business and influencers interactions, the project aims to unfold the decent market situation and solve critical problems, such as payment complexity, uncertain price determination, fraud, lack of control and non-compliance with executed agreements.

“Thus the idea didn’t come that easy, it was experienced-based” – says Founder and CEO of SocialMedia.Market – Dmitry Shyshov. “The world has changed dramatically in the past 10 years. People now tend to rely way more on the opinion of someone they like or trust. Like a preferred blogger they read, or streamer they watch. This change started years ago, but the gaming and entertainment industries were the first to see its potential for business growth. At that point, we began to launch campaigns with YouTubers. And that’s when I realized how complicated it was to build trustful and reliable relationships between business and influencers. This lead me to an idea to focus on the project that could solve this problem and help to build transparent interactions between these two parties.”

Over the past few years, traditional advertising became absolutely ineffective. The way people perceive the advertising has changed and in a world of a wide range of products and services, people switched into relying more on what people think. The influencer marketing becomes a key solution for advertisers and market research shows that the industry will grow in popularity and by estimates will turn into $5–10 billion by the end of 2020. Where SocialMedia.Market can become one-way stop to deliver influencer marketing campaigns in the most secure and relevant way.

HOW SOCIALMEDIA.MARKET WORKS?

SocialMedia.Market will create a global marketplace for Advertisers and Influencers among every major social network, providing convenient and transparent tools for the interaction of any party involved. For maintaining commercial relationships between participants, SocialMedia.Market will use Blockchain technology to simplify integration, reduce fraud and costs for all market participants. Token value is going to be upheld not only by transaction means within platform services, but also supported with the ability to participate in the decentralized dispute solution system gaining additional earnings for token holders.

WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS DOES SOCIALMEDIA.MARKET AIMS TO SOLVE

• SECURE TRANSACTIONS ~ Delays or non-payments are problems typically associated with an Influencer’s platform. The advertisers and influencers have very little control over payments. In many cases, after project submission, the advertiser does not receive the high-quality content agreed upon from an influencer or the influencer does not get paid. The SocialMedia.Market’s Ethereum based platform uses an escrow payment system which holds the contract fees until the set obligations are met. On project completion, the funds are released, securing the interests of both parties involved.

• FAIR DECENTRALIZED DISPUTE SOLUTION SYSTEM ~ Content created by Influencers is mostly perceived subjectively. This may cause disputes and dissatisfaction of parties with achieved results. For the most part, modern platforms do not solve such disputes between parties. Moreover, platforms with such mechanics typically charge an additional fee for arbitration and often favour the paying side. The SocialMedia.Market service has several preventive measures that will allow parties to resolve disputes on their own in most cases, as well as an arbitration system that will resolve disputes between participants with the help of independent platform experts.

• OWNERSHIP VALIDATION ~ One of the major problems contributing to most of the unforeseen costs is fraud, when a fraudster impersonates an Influencer by hacking into his accounts. These situations harm both parties, Advertiser and Influencer. SocialMedia.Market applies special procedures providing a transparent and reliable marketplace. Influencers are verified and authorized to ensure they are really who they claim to be. Additionally, two factor authentication ensures protection and account ownership within the platform.

• EASY COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS ~ Engagement and arrangement is one of the most time-consuming tasks for both the Brand and the Influencer. At SocialMedia.Market they promise to pay great attention to making collaboration more simple and effective. This will be achieve via a powerful CRM-system, in-platform chat app, Smart Contract templates, chat tips, instant notifications and mobile app, organizing contacts, messages, communicating and staying up-to-date will be convenient.

• SIMPLE MANAGEMENT ~ The templates of Smart Contracts will simplify the reconciliation of requirements and the control on compliance of created content for both sides.

• HIGH-QUALITY USER EXPERIENCE ~ With the trend of using mobile devices to solve everyday tasks, SocialMedia.Market understands that its platform should be convenient and compatible with all kinds of devices. Therefore, they are using progressive technologies to make SocialMedia.Market a cross platform. Brands and Influencers will be able to utilise IOS and Android applications conveniently, staying in touch anytime, anywhere.

• ADDITIONAL WAYS TO EARN ~ Using the Dispute Solution system platform members will be rewarded with SMTs for their engagement in dispute arbitration. This will be available only for users who hold a certain number of tokens in their accounts.

FEATURES FOR BRANDS & ADVERTISERS
