Brands are now coming out, with their own TLDs - Elliot Antrobus-Holder made a very informative presentation on Sunday and we love dotBarclays Home.Barclays
Our mantra to Brand TLDs was “your audience has an audience”
Our Brand presentation summarized:
“Turn your most influential customers into brand advocates”
We used our own Kred Influencer Brand as a use case Home.Kred

On the upper deck CEO Jodee Rich (@Wingdude) presented to the DNA members.
“How do we spread the word about TLDs to billions of people ?”
Adrian Kinderis had great insight saying, “We’re approaching the greatest challenge this sector has ever faced as new and evolving technologies and applications challenge our industry’s utility...The domain industry must create our own momentum from within our ranks.“
We believe that same, and have created a platform to use the TLD Industry’s greatest assets (the millions of people who have already created new TLD web sites) to attract new registrants.
We presented how a searchable zone file is content that attracts new content
Eg Domains.Best/Tattoo where we can identify beautiful Tattoo resolving pages.
We are working on a special project with the DNA marketing committee - Domain Showcase. It will become a resource for brand managers and reporters, featuring beautiful, resolving sites using the new gTLDs.
We are very lucky to have such a talented group running the DNA, and we highly recommend joining the association
.Global Activating Community of 20k
We shared our Inbound Marketing solution with Rolf Larsen (@RolfLarsen) and his team, showing how we can utilize current registrants to build communities and new leads. Domains.Best/Global
Rolf liked the idea that .Global’s current customers are their most valuable marketing asset and is making plans to activate the .Global community.

Yoga example:
We have consistently discussed the importance of a Single TLD experience for customers, and the ability for domain owners to become a strong community, transforming their web presence into more than just a domain.
We are activating Domains.Best/Design
When we presented ClaimMy.Club to Jeff Sass (@Sass) at .Club, he immediately identified with the platform - “it is the next generation club platform”
We had a chance to sit down with Steve Machin (@SteveMachin) at .Tickets, who was excited about creating a leaderboard ranking event SLDs.
We created the ICANN 54 Leaderboard displaying ICANN 54 Attendees, ranking the individuals by Influence (powered by Kred)

Thank you to Ben Crawford (@_BenCrawford_) for hosting a wonderful tea party with the most Delicious Scones. We are looking forward to working with Ben (@_BenCrawford_), Mar (@MarPerezTwitts) and the Centralnic team to communitize and promote UK.Com and US.Com.
It was also great to see many people at the Uniregistry party. We are excited to work with Amanda (@AmandaFessenden), who is thinking outside the box for .Photo by using our platform to create new sales channels for distribution - Domains.Best/Photo
Thank You:
A larger team came with us to Dublin so we could meet with as many of our partners as possible and present our Inbound Marketing solution.
Thank you to all who took time out of their busy ICANN Schedules to meet with us. It is truly great to share and learn about all of the creative ways our partners are working to make the internet a better more useful place.
