took a "lot" of random generations.
but i finally got Charmander 😅
jokes aside, such a great project. if y'all haven't checked out @ArtOnBlockchain's send/receive, go do it.
The hot new job at tech companies is leading "storytelling."
The term doubled on LinkedIn job posts in the U.S since last year. The WSJ writes:
"Compliance technology firm Vanta this month began hiring for a head of storytelling, offering a salary of up to $274,000."
"Productivity app Notion recently merged its communications, social media and influencer functions into one 10-person, so-called storytelling team."
"Financial technology brand Chime last month began hiring for a director of corporate editorial and storytelling—its first storyteller opening."
As a former reporter and career-long content/brand leader, I have some thoughts!
These examples point to a shift in internal marketing orgs that reflect a shrinking earned media landscape and an endless, growing number of distribution channels to share and own your narrative, i.e. "going direct."
It's not entirely editorial, or events, or PR, or marketing. It's how all these pieces work together and how they contribute to the bigger picture - your story!
I joke with my reporter friends that they are infinitely hireable if they ever left journalism. Why? Because we are trained to ask: "So what? Why should readers care? What does it mean for them?" To me, that's a big nuance in this conversation. Because...
*Storytelling is a human act and it's a service.*
Super interested to watch what happens here. Are you long/short on this role?

Below is a walkthrough video that guides you through the entire process.
Throwback to Day 2 of ApeFest @BoredApeYC Vegas 2025 🎰🔥
@ApeChainHUB projects cooked this year — finally got my hands on the @designertoshiro glasses (my new obsession) and picked up some @ApeChainRILLAZ tees.
Both were insane quality.
Met @jazzyook with my wife @Irenezmblra at the @ApeConcierge bus stop — super helpful setup — and had an amazing ride with a whole crew of new Ape friends.
Everyone was buzzing… some returning after a year, others experiencing ApeFest for the first time.
The energy was unreal.
Then @AREA15official turned it up even more.
ApeFest was massive — lights, sound, everything on another level, and this year we had so many bars all of them pouring delicious Tequila!
Got 2nd place repping the BAYC team at @GoApeGames , met legends everywhere.
And finally sealed the night with the official Mingles Pulpo moment with @CryptoGarga. 🐙
Vegas + Apes = undefeated combo.
Day 2 delivered absolute chaos in the best way.
Thanks to everyone who made this trip unforgettable.
@SteveKBark@opensea major congrats, Steve!

Be extra careful. Lots of fraudsters doing impersonations of me trying to scam people in discords. I don’t sell NFT’s, ask for investment money, or promote random crypto projects etc. If the person your communicating with comes off very smart or extra savvy that should be the first red flag. 😂
HV-MTL holders head over to OpenSea and check out your rewards!
Every member of our community has received their shipment.
Thank you @opensea for this awesome collaboration! 🙌
@Irenezhao_ Go to church and thank Jesus Christ for your blessings and struggles in life! Devote time to the youth in your community as they are our future!
