How to coordinate with @theKuntaMC

:link: Coordination Plan with @theKuntaMC (via X)
1. Establish a Primary Communication Channel
Use X DMs for quick and clear updates.
Create a consistent flow of communication through regular messages—short, actionable, and easy to respond to.
Agree on a communication rhythm—e.g., updates every Monday and Thursday via DM.

2. Share Key Assets Asynchronously
Send pre-prepared promo content: tweet drafts, banners, speaker highlights, and event teasers directly via X DMs.
Include suggested captions, hashtags, and post timing to make publishing seamless.

3. Provide Engagement Data & Feedback
Share short weekly insights: tweet engagement, top-performing content, or notable community responses.
Ask for feedback: “Which post had the most traction?” or “Should we shift tone/language for better reach?”

4. Schedule Strategic Syncs Only When Needed
If necessary, propose optional 15–20 minute syncs biweekly in case of campaign pivots or major announcements.
Otherwise, keep everything asynchronous through X to respect his availability.

5. Leverage His Networks and Expertise
Tag or DM him only where it matters—e.g., retweeting key campaign posts, plugging content into relevant threads, or sharing with influencers.
Provide him with ready-to-use talking points or tweet blurbs he can easily drop into his timeline or responses.

Associated With any Grant Before?

:white_check_mark: Goal:
