This document outlines plans for the Vault by CNN community, including positioning the brand as both crypto-native and a CNN superfan community. It discusses strategies for engaging collectors through a newsletter, education on crypto and journalism topics, highlighting CNN history, and creating 3D/VR experiences of the CNN newsroom. Future NFT drops are planned that wink to both crypto and journalism communities through vocabulary education and integrating relevant themes. The social media presence and regular content calendar are also approved to help build connections between the Vault community and aligned partners.

Crypto people and journo people are two amazing communities that are
separated by common language. In the newsletter, we teach journos about
crypto culture. In the Discord channel, we teach cryptos about journalism
culture. This production career path is one that gives a palpable journey to
different Discord threads (this mimics journalism careers because every
journalist steps into this career at different levels and in different ways. The
mission remains the same, but we want to set up the voice as one that's
knowledgeable and willing to learn more in both camps: journo and crypto. We'll
start with threads that satisfy Vault Core interests (history, news, comedy, ART
etc...) then we'll learn from the community what other threads to build out. We're
not proposing a new goal. This is just a framework and voice we can tell these
stories. Community first means honoring that we are CNN and we are an NFT
project. These strategies lay that all out so that the general audience isn't
surprised that our brand pivots to several interests.

• Cryptos & Journos are two communities separated by a common language
• Cue card pack of NFTs filled with vocabulary from both camps
• These vocab visual NFTs will teach:
• Crypto wonks what a VOSOT is
• Journo wonks what a dApp is
• This drop will teach some of these common words
• so that we can wink to both sides in our drops
• 100 cue cards (wink to TV)
• 50 journo words & 50 crypto words
• FOR EXAMPLE:
• I own two things in my wallet
• A collector COIN that winks to cryptos
• A #FreeBritney STORY that winks to journos
• All future drops should wink to both sides
• of the crypto/jounro coin
