Tokenization doesn't create demand. Activation does.

Great relationships create powerful starting points. Their greatest potential is unlocked when the principal, story, audience and execution team move together.

The Activation Rule

The strongest opportunities have engaged principals.

When an opportunity draws strength from a principal's audience, their participation can make the story more credible and the campaign more powerful. The best results come from an enthusiastic owner, an engaged audience and a team moving together.

Activation Score

Score the audience, not the fame.

Move the sliders to model an opportunity. The result becomes one input into the overall pipeline ranking.

Marketing Economics

Serious campaigns require serious resources.

DiBS marketing should be scoped to the opportunity, not applied as a flat formula.
