Hey Justin! Love to see more eager marketers jump into the space. It does seem like there’s quite a bit of overlap with the services that Distractive, Decentered Studio, Lunar Strategy, Colorful Notion, and others are already providing. Perhaps it makes sense to sync on this and see where we have gaps that you & your team could help fill?

The video you link includes an old Polkadot logo here and elsewhere. That branding was replaced around two years ago:

(Current branding can be found here)

It also includes at least one misspelling:
excitment

I only watched a minute or so, but it’s not a great first impression–and marketers, of all people, should know how to make a good first impression.
