Web3 Marketing
Marketing strategies native to blockchain-based products, including community building on Discord and Telegram, token airdrop campaigns, influencer partnerships, and on-chain growth analytics. Community is the primary distribution channel.
How Web3 Marketing works in practice
Web3 marketing differs from Web2 fundamentally in that the community is not just the audience — it is the product, the distribution channel, and often a stakeholder in the protocol through token ownership. Token airdrops function simultaneously as product launch announcements, user acquisition campaigns, and liquidity bootstrapping events — designing them to attract genuine users rather than airdrop farmers requires thoughtful eligibility criteria tied to meaningful on-chain behaviour. Standard Web2 attribution models fail in Web3 because wallet interactions are not cookied or tracked through conventional analytics; on-chain analytics tools including Dune Analytics, Nansen, and Flipside Crypto are required to trace campaign-to-wallet attribution and measure true acquisition outcomes. Influencer marketing in crypto operates at much higher CAC than most categories, requiring rigorous vetting of audience quality (on-chain activity, not just follower counts) to distinguish genuine community builders from attention-for-hire accounts.

Crypto Exchange Marketing: The 2026 User Growth Playbook
The crypto user base is heading from roughly 600 million in 2026 toward 1.2 billion by 2035, but the channels that grew exchanges in the last cycle are throttled, expensive, or compliance-restricted.

How to Measure PPC Performance When AI Controls the Auction
AI Max, Performance Max, and Smart Bidding have taken over the inputs that PPC teams used to control — keywords, bids, match types, placements. That means most of the metrics your dashboard still shows are describing a game that no longer exists. Here is the four-layer measurement stack that actually tells you whether a 2026 paid account is working: profitability, incrementality, blended CAC, and first-party data quality.
How User Behaviour Tells You to Improve Your Website
Most conversion problems are not traffic problems. The fix is on the page. User behaviour data — scroll depth, heatmaps, rage clicks, session recordings and form drop-offs — shows you exactly where visitors are losing interest and why. This is how CRO actually works in practice.
