whoah! this is different!
I was trully surprise by your project, but I like it! It seem you know where you are going to! I checked online and you`re right, that plate was sold for a LOT of money. So, I`m in.
This is what I would do:
1. First, lets have a talk, I need to learn and understand.
2. Ill do some research online.
3. Depending on what we talk, Ill come up with a marketing strategy just like the one any company uses. A priori, I would probably propose: a website, some basic campaing on Google (maybe even Facebook) and, most important, media presence. I would try to get journalist to get into the story, thats the way to get to the larger public.
Ill be happy to be your partner on this project but, please keep in mind, Ill need a small down payment anyway.
As for me, my name is Lucas and I studied economics and hold a master degree on business. Im pretty good at digital marketing and sales.
Hope we can work together,
cheers!
Lucas
