18 Days to dotCEO GA…...Counting Down
We are investing over $1m to promote dotCEO to CEOs.
Every week or so we will send our valued Registrar partners a Marketing update.
We have an Expression of Interest book of almost 2000 leads
*Those partners who meet our Lead Conversion Landing page Guidelines will receive a share of the leads we generate on the 26th March (2 days before GA).
The Lead Conversion Page must:
Contain the dotCEO Logo
Include an explanation about dotCEO. Like the dotCEO video
Be exclusive to dotCEO
Make dotCEO Domain Names available for purchase
Here is an example of the Lead Conversion Page from our friends at Name.com to use as a guide.
24 Hours of Sunrise...

The information below outlines the initiatives that are currently underway. All are aimed at boosting the brand awareness of dotCEO:
The dotCEO Global Tour is a series of events for influential CEOs to explain and showcase the dotCEO identity and network.
We are calling it The typewriter days of the Internet are over.
It started with early adopter CEOs in NYC at the Crosby st Hotel. There were 150 NYC CEOs and Influencers.
Some of our TLD industry friends joined - Jennie Marie, Monty Kahn, Ray King, Jeff Sass, and Joe Alagna.
There were some great comments:
“I will begin next steps to secure my dotCEO today.” - Reginald Christian
Then yesterday during SXSW in Austin we hosted 80 CEO’s at the Four Season’s Hotel. Again, there were some great comments:
“I just reserved my name on the new dotCEO domain.” @EGOstrokes
We have had over 200 RSVPs to our San Francisco event this Wednesday.
Then:
Los Angeles
Sydney
Singapore
Hong Kong
London
Melbourne
Sydney
We received many leads top influencers wanting a personal dotCEO and one for their organization.
dotCEO is aggressively doing its own direct marketing to drive domain buyer leads to our Registrar Partners. We have over 2000 expressions of interest. We will be generating many thousands more and will be sending them to our top registrar partners.
Using PeopleBrowsr's Datamine we extracted data on 400,000
The PeopleBrowsr Marketing team has created a number of promotional videos, which can be used to explain dotCEO and Top Level Domains generally.
dotCEO – The New Internet for Leaders: Short explainer video targeted at small-medium business owners and CEOs.
What is a Top Level Domain: A cartoon explainer video that drives awareness of new Top-Level Domains amongst the general public. This is available as a white label video
We have expanded our CEO network by partnering with Professional Associations such as Business Chicks with 35,000 members. The Business Chicks dotCEO was one of very first dotCEO pages launched.
See article: Are you a dotCEO?
Eg NYC.CEO
We have partnered with influential and well-connected CEOs by geographic and industry community. These partners include authors, bloggers, marketers and social media super influencers that have access to their own network of CEOs.
We have identified the world's most diverse and innovative communities, which will be the targeted CEO directories. An example of a Community Page that we have already set up is www.NYC.CEO. This is a place where all New York CEOs on Top-Level.CEO can get their profile featured.
We have advertised on gTLD-related blogs and websites including Domain Incite and CircleID. In one of the most recent advertising campaigns, 6 TLD Leaders were featured in a 2-week advertising blitz on every page of Domain Incite to promote dotCEO Sunrise.
See Link: Advertising campaign on Domain Incite
We also have other campaigns that are ready to be advertised on several other platforms to drive the brand awareness.
We identified 1 million CEOs and Entrepreneurs and created a customised landing page for these 1 million people.
We identified high-profile CEOs through multiple social media platforms and built several hundred beautiful high-level resolution landing pages for these selected CEOs.
