Ross Plummer (Head of Brand Marketing at Input Output) shares one of the best takes on branding from ColuxChain 26.

We're obsessed with talking about how blockchain works. We should be talking about why anyone should care. That was one of the biggest takeaways from @rossplmmr 's talk at ColuxChain 26. After leading brand marketing for companies including Nike, Netflix and Input Output, Ross shared why Web3 continues to struggle with mainstream adoption. The technology isn't the problem. The storytelling is. Too often, we lead with technical features: ❌ "Our protocol uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs." Instead, we should be leading with outcomes: ✅ "Your data stays private." Web3 has built incredible technology and some of the strongest communities in tech. Now it's time to tell better stories. If you're building, marketing or investing in Web3, this talk is well worth a watch. 🎥 Watch the full talk here: youtu.be/1mo6TeUMT6I?si=7YRP… #Web3 #Blockchain #Marketing #Branding #Storytelling #ProductMarketing #Crypto #BrandStrategy #Technology #ColuxChain
