Overview

$6.6M

raised across a 3-stage token sale

Artrade is an NFT marketplace. I built the content and PR systems behind its $6.6M raise: token sale activation, funnel mapping and channel campaigns across a 3-stage TGE in 3 months.

I tied every campaign, piece of content and community moment to a funding milestone and tracked it through attribution.
