Overview

Artrade is an NFT marketplace. I structured the content and PR systems that raised $6.6M through token sale activation, funnel mapping and channel-specific campaigns across a 3-stage TGE over 3 months.

Build awareness that converts at launch: I mapped every campaign, every piece of content and every community interaction to a funding milestone and tracked it through attribution.

Funnel-Linked Campaigns

3-Stage Token Sale Strategy. A content and PR calendar mapped to funding milestones, supporting a $6.6M raise across the token sale phases.

Buyer Attribution Architecture. SEO, partner drops and email flows gave end-to-end visibility. Funnel logs put 35% of token buyers on owned channels.

Community Growth

Telegram Expansion Engine. Modular campaign flows ran across funding and listing cycles, and the Telegram community grew from ~1.0K to ~41K. I tracked growth through internal UTMs and referral logs.

CAC Control at Scale. Internal campaign data put the average acquisition cost at ~$2.90 per token buyer across the key phases. I refined the messaging round by round for efficiency over volume.

PR & SEO

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

Embedded Conversion Layer. Contextual CTAs and structured messaging carried conversion alongside visibility.
