Challenge

Jesse Moynihan faced a challenge where traditional publishers rejected his project, leaving him without necessary funding. He needed to find a way to raise funds that was both effective and engaging for potential backers.

‍

Solution

Together with NMKR, Moynihan created an exclusive collection of NFTs representing characters from the Jesus 2 project. NMKR played a key role in the project by using NMKR Studio to create the NFTs and prepare them for sale, and by providing guidance and consultancy on how to facilitate the project. NMKR also custom-built a website for the Jesus 2 project, further enhancing its digital presence and accessibility.
