Brian here,

Happy New Year. 2018 feels like I am exploding out of a cannon, and I want to share an update regarding an exciting new project I am collaborating on with JET8, Democratizing Influence.

World’s 1st Social Currency

There is a world where anyone can be rewarded for every LIKE, COMMENT or SHARE they create on social media.

I have been active in the crypto / blockchain space on various projects going back to my days working with the Bitcoin Foundation on advocacy communications and the Bitcoin14 Amsterdam event. And have been enthusiastically preaching about blockchain solutions ever since, especially in regards to social impact.

But I have tried to keep the ICO and the blockchain marketing hype at arm's length, preferring to develop projects that I feel actually benefit from integrating the blockchain into their existing products or needs.

JET8 is one of those projects that got me really excited to implement blockchain solutions.

Since 2015, JET8 has been tokenizing the influencer marketing industry with its social currency JETS. With over 4 billion coins already in circulation, it is time to scale JET8 for global accessibility, diversity, transparency, and service efficiency.

Say Hello to the JET8 (J8T) Token

By integrating the blockchain into the existing JET8 social engagement ecosystem – used by real people, brands and influencers - to fuel a decentralized ecosystem it will allow:

· Anyone, anywhere the ability to transact within the JET8 ecosystem

· Narrow the gap between brands and users to make a more competitive marketplace

· Further enhances the transparency and immutability of the data and IP it tracks and provides

This decentralized ecosystem represents a major disruption of not only the current economic model, but the way brands and consumers interact, changing forever the way they approach marketing, sales and the opportunities of consumers to participate.

An Existing Platform Use by 15 Million Influencers, 20,000 Points-of-sales, and dozens of named-brand clients

Using a variety of independent apps, users can add branded frames, stickers or backgrounds to their photos/ videos and earn rewards for the organic likes, shares and comments they receive from their own social media networks. Empowering the user/ consumer to not only choose whether they want to engage with brands, but to earn something in return when they do so.

These reward - called JETS - can then be used to purchase products within the ecosystem, including online and brick and mortar points-of-sales. These products can range from items of partnering brands, to staples items like baby formula or diapers.





Roughly half the world’s population still lives on the equivaent of about US$2 a day.









Using influencer marketing gives JETS current users (80% of which are between 18-34 years old) the opportunity to earn 5,000 to 20,000 JETS on average per selfie, whilst Influencers (highly successful users) can earn up to 2,000,000 JETS worth 200 USD.

JETS digital currency ecosystem already reaches over 400 million social user accounts through their app network in southeast Asia, and being used by partnering brands such as Nestle, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Danone, Avon, Friesland Campina, P&G, Unilever, Indofoods, and Heinz Group. Through purchasing JETS (of fixed value) these brands inject currency into the JET8 ecosystem, which pays users for valuable, monitored content creation.

JETS popularity in low-bandwidth countries, where early-adopters are flocking to use their apps, not only provide a low entry barrier and feasible alternative payment system, but the in-store JETS redemption system has served to build footfall for convenience stores and enable users to purchase items immediately using their mobile wallets.

70% of millennial consumers are influenced by the recommendations of their peers in buying decisions

In a world of hashtags and selfies, in which a third of the world is using social networks regularly, the JETS ecosystem gives users a modicum of trust and control in the brand/consumer relationship.
