After the "chief happiness officer," a new type of manager is taking up position in certain companies. Meet the "chief vibes officer," a role designed to convince both novice and more experienced investors of the merits of buying NFTs, despite the current woes of the non-fungible token market.
Posting on social networks, cultivating communities of NFT holders, and stoking the hype around these virtual property certificates: these are just some of the missions assigned to a "chief vibes manager." This new position is starting to appear in the organizational hierarchies of certain startups specializing in NFTs.
The mission of a "chief vibes manager"—also known as a "vibes manager" or a "director of vibes"—is to encourage internet users to invest in NFTs. They notably do this through dozens of posts on social networks, and particularly on Twitter, in a bid to stimulate a market that's losing momentum. After peaking in 2021, the craze for these digital objects has been on the wane since the first quarter of 2022. Spending volume dropped from $3.9 billion to $964 million between February and March, according to a recent report from the intelligence platform, Chainalysis.
However, this volatility does not worry "chief vibes managers" like Deeze. This key player in the crypto world holds this position for Fractional, a platform specializing in fractional NFTs. And it was specially crafted around his profile, according to Business Insider. "My whole brand on Twitter at the time, and still is, was just being like this honest and authentic crypto NFT degenerate who learns in public and shares wins and losses and tries to give honest advice to the community," Deeze told the specialist media site, emphasizing that he approaches his new position with the same mindset.
