Proposed Initial Marketing Strategy and Scope of Budget Provided for Roth CH Acquisition V Co.

 

SPECIAL NOTE #1: While this is a proposed financial marketing budget in order to market the upcoming acquisition of New Era Helium, we need to collectively understand this to be a dynamic budget and can and may likely change in order to maximize performance with the intention to benefit all parties. Further, it is our understanding that we are not to exceed a US$300,000 budget for marketing services during this pre-marketing period prior to closing the New Era Helium transaction.

 

SPECIAL NOTE #2: We have not built out the creative (the story or value proposition) as of yet. This gameplan is being provided on a pre-creative (step one/ building out the story) basis.

 

We are including some marketing thoughts and ideas of how best to market your SPAC. However, this financial marketing strategy may change with best effort to maximize performance. We are providing an outline only to better understand the multiple components associated in order to build a successful campaign.

This program includes utilizing IDR’s exclusive in-house proprietary data, encompassing US investor data.

This program is successful based on our experience to capitalize on Facebook’s algorithms.

#4 Finfluencer Program

 

Not to be confused with what has become the “influencer” designation. Through our channel partners, we have built out a solid finfluencer network that regularly posts on multiple financial message boards topping out at over 1,000 message boards and growing. This has taken over 5 years to build a solid and trusted following. In order to create energy and hype surrounding the anticipated launch of New Era Helium. We need to pre-market (without names mentioned to stay compliant) and launch a “welcome” public launch messaging tactic. The finfluencer team will continue to push traffic to our landing page and news events over a three-month period.

 

Budget: US$35,000 (minimum 3-month term)

We target 500+ financial websites with an overall marketing reach of +7 billion impressions. In order to execute on delivering ads on; Forbes, Dow-Jones, CNN Money and Globe & Mail to serve as examples, we need to pre- purchase ad traffic with a meaningful budget. Term period: 60 days — subject to click through.

 

Budget: US$150,000 ($75,000 per/mo)

 

#6 Reddit Financial Marketing Program:

 

We have all witnessed the power of Reddit and the stocks involved in the meme stock movement. This includes r/investing, r/wallstreet & r/wallstreetbets. Reddit became the second most downloaded app just a couple years ago. r/wallstreetbets saw over a +3,000% increase in viewership. Reddit has more users seeking finance and business information than CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and The Economist. In fact, previous reporting suggests 1 in 5 retail investors visit Reddit before making a buying decision. This is powerful data! IDR has taken advantage of the Reddit platform with very successful results.

 

Budget US$20,000 ($10,000 per/mo)

 

#7 Stocktwits Financial Marketing Program:

 

Deemed as one of the largest communities for investors and traders to share information. Stocktwits started in 2008 as an app built on Twitter and was the first to organize conversations around tickers using the cashtag (e.g.

 

$AAPL). Stocktwits has become a very powerful tool reaching investors by strategically serving ad and ad copy to potential investors.

 

Budget US$10,000 (30-day commitment)

 

Proposed total budget = US$272,500 [and up to $300,000 commitment]

 

 

 

 

Other financial marketing considerations include:

 

Specialized PPC Email:

 

Access to triple ‘A’ highly targeted investor email lists. Click-through would lead to our custom-designed landing page, with pre-approval by the company, maximizing investor response and ROI. List selection includes primary & premium representation. This is a pay-per-click program, where payment is only applied per/click.

 

YouTube Traffic Campaign:

 

Drive traffic independently through YouTube advertising, reaching a completely different investor audience that is videocentric vs. copy focused, to ultimately increase viewership and traffic to the company story & custom designed company financial market video.

 

Press Agent:

 

Companies need more news story exposure. The investment community would benefit from hearing your company story. By engaging our in-house press agent, will benefit and support major news announcements.

 

We have been successful targeting key National press including CNBC, FOX News, WSJ, LA Times, Financial Times, Yahoo.Finance, Globe & Mail, CBS News, among others.
