Web3 Marketing
A Growth – Stablecoin Ecosystem

Our client, a newly launched stablecoin project backed by real-world assets (RWA), aimed to penetrate the competitive stablecoin market by building trust, driving token adoption, and positioning itself as a credible alternative to legacy players like USDT and USDC. The project was in its early stages with no significant digital footprint and required end-to-end marketing and growth support.

Self-Amplifying Growth Funnel

We employed a bespoke self-amplifying funnel from X through Discord as a means to onboard users using the Episode 1 airdrop launch as a medium. The funnel successfully onboarded ~4,700 users (eligible and ineligible) into the Discord.
