## FAQ
1. **How are you going to be getting revenue in?**
   - Hi Andrea! We have actually just turned on our first monetization features - they centre on new advertising formats including: brand placement in our reward store + boosted posts/conversations (brands + individuals!).
2. **Could you share an update on monetization and how your first b2b2c brand activation deals are going? You've had significant overhead for a couple of years and I'd like to know how sales are emerging and what challenges you're facing there.**
   - Hi Caroline--we're currently onboarding a number of them which is going well, I don't have much data to share beyond that yet. As a consumer social/search company, we were not able to monetize until we started to hit some scale, which is "normal" for most consumer tech businesses.
3. **Hi Emma, what date is the campaign ending? Thank you, Glenn**
   - Hi Glenn, on April 30th!
