Mark Soares, CMO and founder of Blokhaus On The Future of Gaming (March 21st)

“If you gamify an NFT, you’re bringing utility and entertainment to the NFT itself. [...] I think that’s the way Web3 gaming should be done, rather than trying to force gamers who enjoy their games as they are to embrace NFTs as add-ons. That doesn’t work.”

In his interview, Mark provides an overview of his background in marketing, and his journey into the world of blockchain and Web3, which began in the mid-2010s. He also explains how Blokhaus came into existence and dives into the specific needs that the agency was created to solve. In addition to marketing and communications support, Blokhaus is also a product lab, and Mark goes on to discuss animatronic NFTs (aNFTs), a new in-house development poised to revolutionize Web3 gaming.

Wisdom From The Women Leading The Blockchain Revolution, With Carolyn Rogers, Director of Marketing at Blokhaus (April 23rd)

“Blockchain is not only a technical innovation, but also a social and economic one. Yes, it helps to read things like the Bitcoin whitepaper and understand the basics of the technology, but it’s also easy in this industry to over-glamorize the tech and lose sight of solving real problems.”

In her interview, Carolyn describes some of the challenges of working as a woman in the blockchain technology space and addresses the pervasive influence of “crypto-bros” when it comes to public perception of crypto and Web3. She also shares her vision of a blockchain-enabled future where the technology “fades into the background” and meaningful projects and applications (rather than meme-coins) come to the fore.

Meet the Disruptors: Jenny Mauric, Creative Director at Blokhaus on the 5 Things You Need to Shake Up the Web3 Industry (June 22nd)

“There is almost nothing that creative cannot solve. Creative makes products work, creative distills ideas, and good creative will create differentiation and trust for your project.”

Blokhaus Creative Director Jenny Mauric can do it all. In this interview, she describes her journey from the world of traditional agencies into Web3, and why “make it work” should be a mantra for every creative working with clients. Jenny also offers her opinion on the right way to be disruptive in Web3, and how how to avoid the problem of “big lofty ideas” leading to unusable products. Hint: some wheels don’t need reinventing.
