Overview

Artrade is an NFT marketplace. I structured content and PR systems designed to raise $7M through token sale activation, funnel mapping, and channel-specific campaigns across a 3-stage TGE over 3 months.

The approach: build awareness that converts at launch. Every campaign, every piece of content, every community interaction was mapped to a funding milestone and tracked through attribution.

Funnel-Linked Campaigns

3-Stage Token Sale Strategy. Structured content and PR calendar mapped to funding milestones — supporting a $7M raise across multiple token sale phases.

Buyer Attribution Architecture. SEO, partner drops, and email flows supported end-to-end visibility. Funnel logs suggested 35% of token buyers came through owned channels.

Community Growth

Telegram Expansion Engine. Modular campaign flows ran across funding and listing cycles, during which the Telegram community grew from ~1.0K to ~41K. Growth was monitored through internal UTM tracking and referral logs.

CAC Control at Scale. Internal campaign data suggested an average acquisition cost of ~$2.90 per token buyer across key phases. Messaging was refined iteratively to support efficiency over volume.

Multi-Channel Distribution. Content ran across owned, earned, and partner surfaces — including press placements, education series, and SEO-indexed posts. Email open rate averaged ~35% across tracked campaigns with 18% CTR.

Embedded Conversion Layer. Content strategy emphasized contextual CTAs and structured messaging, supporting conversion alongside visibility.
