THE GREAT AWAKENING by Creepz

hopeful is obviously the amount of questions and suggestions that we've been getting in the discord since the acquisition. And I think that's a lot of the light that we've shared here today. I guess starting out, it's important that everyone gets to know some of the team behind the brand obviously still very early days. I think it's still under a mom since we announced. But yeah, we've been working hard behind the scenes and putting the right pieces in place to really grow the brand to where we see its potential and where we see things going. So yeah, I guess we did say that we would get some light on some of the team here. Obviously, for myself, I'm not really a net new member. I think it was kind of evident day one that I was involved to be on me. We have Ian who is back at the helm of the IP, which I think when we look back at what really made creeps great, a lot of things are there. But the artwork from Cypherum, absolutely goaded. And yeah, having him back at the front stage, pushing the IP forward, I think is a great start to that. But yeah, I guess some of the team we're introducing here today I think shows where we're putting focus. And in heriting the ecosystem, there's a lot of complexity with whether it's SP points, runes. We have the invasion passes, we have DMT token, we have a lot of considerations on that side. So I'll introduce Pizza Box and he can shed a little bit more light on himself. Some of the team that we've brought on board on that side of things and how we're looking at I guess honoring the past while building a really amazing future for the brand and making it easy for new holders, entering the ecosystem even today to just understand the ecosystem in one sentence rather than having to do a whole history class on the past the project. GM, GM, it's great to be here. Azadi, you're a legend since 2021 I've been listening to you, but it's kind of insane for this to come full circle to be here today. I mean, first off, just to let you guys know what I've been up to and what the teams are up to, there's a group of us that are focused on all things, tokenomics and token mechanics. Okay, so that means things like planning out the mechanics themselves were the tech requirements associated with them, the tokenomics requirements, token modeling, liquidity strategies, simulations, valuable cruel methods, economic and revenue modeling, when we start to think about web 2, web 3 side of things, digesting these trends and products that we're seeing come up all over the place these days as well too, from a token POV. But again, for me, it's insane to be here today because Creeps is actually what got me onboarded onto NFTs. It was late 2021, in the beginning of 2022, it was the first NFT I minted. Like I was there for Loomy in the discord for absolute mayhem. Like I still, I can't believe some of the things I'm saying, I was saying like I come from a healthcare enterprise background and this literally got me into web 3, like the Zadi spaces all the lore, from sitting on those spaces like Dane and Day Out, we'd be analyzing every last little mechanic, like looking for Alpha, like spending, you know, 20 plus ETH on shapeshifters at 4kE. Like it was just a, you had to be there kind of moment. And I think all of us that were there kind of just have kind of stuck through it, you know. You know, I bought the bootleg, Tiffany Blue, dy, OR hoodie, I don't know if you guys remember that. I forgot who it was that was selling those. He's like selling them out of a hotel room during NFT NYC. But I think like yeah, again, all of us that had felt that, like, you know, we've held through the ups and downs because we just remember how that was. And obviously Loomy was incredible too, right? But I do think that Creeps has like, like, you know, one of the best, if not the best community in web 3. Like you can see the holder distribution, like how many thousands of people still hold, are active, are still vibing, even though it was like completely bleak, you know. So, you know, it's just something like I've always wanted to work with, you know, Creeps and now finally get this opportunity and it just all kind of came together. So I'm just so pumped to be here. Let's go. So pizza box and robber, I think one of the things that is probably on everyone's mind, right? That I want to know, which is why I'm jumping back in, is to say like, first, what I'm hearing is that you guys are real holders from the beginning. You guys participated, you know, the mechanics, right? Like you're part of the community. But like, I'm sure the big question amongst many is like, so who actually is unserious and who's actually working on Creeps, right? Yeah. No, for sure. Yeah, it's definitely something a lot of people have been asking in the discord, which I think is great, you know. Anyone who's like followed me and my web 3 journey, like, transparency is a massive thing. So, you know, there's going to be nothing different, you know, on the the on serious side and, you know, here with Creeps and how we look at operating, you know, the IP. So, yeah, I mean, we've obviously brought an amazing team on board, probably like, you know, in terms of, you know, the web 3 token side, which we see a lot of value in, you know, I think we've all kind of seen how the market has really rewarded ecosystems that are using like unique and I guess, uh, net new kind of like mechanics to align with holders and where we're obviously putting a lot of thought into that because I guess the flip side is of that is you create an amazing IP, build this massive global brand. But, you know, the web 3 incentives aren't actually driving value back to the OGNFT. So, um, that's something, you know, that it's a bit of a balancing after I think you have to do both right. I don't think anyone's really nailed that yet. But it's something that we're, you know, investing a lot of resources into, um, to make sure, you know, when you have the global brand, it's like, how do you like day ones actually benefit from that? And like, you know, when we say, like, come along for the journey, it's not like, you know, you bought this NFT back in 21 or 22. There's now this massive global brand. And like, financially, besides like a token launch, that's like bound to go to zero because like the incentives aren't really aligned. Um, you know, a one-off ad drop isn't like, I guess, a model that works. Like, if we've done a lot of research into like all of the top like NFT token launches and there's an obvious trend there. Um, and something's broken. It's not working. I think otherwise like the brands today would be a lot a lot bigger than they are. So, um, I guess we see value really on the Web 3 side. And then, um, you know, another thing I think for us that we're stressing and putting a lot of importance on and resources into is content. I think, um, you know, how we see the future of Creeps is, you know, a very similar vision, I guess, to what the original team kind of had for the brand in terms of a global IP, products, etc. But I think the way we get there looks a lot different. Um, so we'll be putting together like in a really amazing team on the content side, which, you know, we're already putting a lot of work into and having amazing conversations. Like with multiple like operators, uh, you know, who have, you know, this is across like multiple Web 3 brands, but have really like, you know, the success cases when we're talking about like social accounts from Web 3 brands with millions of followers or at least hundreds of thousands. Like these are the kinds of conversations that we're having in terms of like putting together strategy for what that looks like. Um, some of these people can't be named just because of the jobs that they're in, but, you know, it's something as well that is going to be like ever evolving and the nature of social is try trial and error and finding what formats are going to work really well um, to make people fall in love with the brand outside of Web 3. Um, so that's like really where our resources are being put at the moment. It's kind of like, I would say a mix between, you know, nailing the Web 3 stuff that actually aligns, you know, the holders here who have been here for the past four years. You know, with the upside that we create with the brand on the Web 2 side. Now Robert, if I can just speak for the holders, right, and like kind of nail you to the cross and some of questions, you know, like, first question is back to the unserious like, can we get a head count? Is there a full reveal like who's on the unserious team? The second question everyone's going to know shout out to Adam down there, right? What's Adam's role, right? Like that, that is, you know, big gossip topic around the discord around the DMs around the Cabal chats. Yeah, can I push you on that a little bit? Yeah, for sure. I mean, for head count, you know, it's always, I think it's fucking hilarious. Some of the numbers, you know, some teams in the space have obviously put off a head count, but at the end of the day, like, I'd like to remind everyone, like, how I've always seen it is like, large head count is kind of bearish. So we've got a pretty like tight team, and we're also like engaged with a lot of partners, right? So, you know, there's no point building a massive in-house team for everything. You're going to just work with people who have already done it a thousand times, you know, and done it really well, you know, you know, whether that's in retail, you know, some of the partners that we're working with, like, you know, they already have products in retail, and they've done, you know, from manufacturing to distribution, you know, they kind of handle A to Z. You know, for social, again, it's like part of that team will live internally, part of it won't. But yeah, I mean, if I was to give a head count on the core team, like, it's under 10, we're a scrappy startup, and that's, you know, where things stand today, and we're really just leaning on our network and amazing partners who, you know, have done all the things that we're trying to do here today, and, you know, I think that's how we really succeed and squeeze as much juice out of what we have here. Yeah, the other one I got to stick you to because they're tagging me in the DMs, right? Adam's role, even if it's simple, everybody wants to know that, and then there's a follow-up question to the previous team. Yeah, of course. So, Adam, I mean, he's off on the stage here now, shout out Adam, he can say, hey, when he's ready. But yeah, like, we've begun speaking with Adam, you know, months ago now, and he's become an amazing friend and just supporter. But yeah, like, Adam's a backer of the brand. Like, I think the biggest thing for Adam, like, obviously, you know, he's a very busy guy, but, you know, he gives us access, and, you know, he's been amazing in terms of, you know, whether it's just opening doors and starting conversations with great partners and people. So, that's kind of, you know, the role that, you know, Adam plays, I'm happy to let Adam kind of take it from here, say, hey, but yeah, what's up, Adam? No, good afternoon. How you guys doing? We good, man. We're good. Appreciate you popping in. No, I'm definitely happy to be here. No, I think how you said it was perfect. I'm here to, like, support you guys and definitely play a background role, you know, you guys are the creative ones. And I'm just here to help out. I love the brand. I love the IP. I love the community. So, anything that you need, I'm here 24 or 7. But you guys are definitely the ones that, you know, definitely deserve the glory for bringing this, you know, this epic collection back. I appreciate it, brother. Yeah. Yeah, we're working on some fun stuff. And, you know, that'll come to life over time. But, yeah, Adam's a legend. And, yeah, I mean, wanted to obviously have him as the supporter of the brand and involved here. All right, probably one of the hardest questions of the day, but has to be asked, right? And I'll just say, what's up with John? Joe and Dom, they're involved. They're not involved. What's the deal? There's ambiguity around it. People aren't fully clear. I mean, there's definitely a hard signal, but I think it needs to be addressed officially and then moved on from. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I mean, I saw some crazy rumours saying like this was like a, like company that Joe and Dom had launched, which is just like not the case. You know, of course, with the handover, you know, they're being as helpful as they can in terms of anything that we need, you know, that being cooperative. But yeah, other than that.
