What does 'solutions by project type' cover?

A memecoin, a DeFi protocol and a GameFi studio all need marketing, but they need different channels weighted differently, because their audiences look for different signals before they act. This hub indexes sixteen project types and maps each one to the mix of trending, listings, KOL, PR, community and other lines that actually fits it.

Each playbook page explains the specific audience, the channels that carry the most weight, and typical combinations for that vertical.

How does a marketing playbook differ by project type?

The difference comes down to what the audience for each vertical is actually trying to judge before they act - speed and community energy for a memecoin, technical credibility for a DeFi protocol, or install-and-retention behaviour for a wallet.

Project type What matters most Primary channels
Memecoin Launch velocity, community energy Trending, KOL, community activation
DeFi Technical credibility, audit trust PR, content, thought leadership
NFT Collector and creator community KOL, community, design
GameFi Player acquisition, retention Advertising, KOL, community
AI agents Category education Content, PR, AI search visibility
DePIN Node operator community Community, technical content
RWA Institutional-adjacent trust PR, mainstream media
Exchange Trader and liquidity acquisition Ads, listings, affiliate
Wallet Installs and app store visibility Ads, ASO, KOL
Layer 1 / Layer 2 Developer ecosystem growth DevRel, grants, PR
DAO Governance participation Community, content

A playbook is a starting weighting, adjusted after the first reporting cycle based on what actually converts for that specific project.

How do you choose the right playbook for a project type that spans two categories?

Many projects sit across more than one vertical - a GameFi title with its own token launch, a DeFi protocol issuing an NFT collection, a DAO governing a DePIN network - and the playbook for those blends rather than picks one exclusively. The way to resolve it is to identify which audience decision is most urgent right now, and weight channels toward that first.

  • A token launch inside any vertical still needs launch and token strategy as the base layer
  • A project with two audiences (e.g. players and token holders) usually runs two lighter playbooks rather than one combined one
  • Start with whichever audience decision is closest in time - a mint date, a TGE, a game beta - and sequence the other afterward
  • Telegram mini app marketing and SocialFi marketing often overlap with community and KOL work already running elsewhere

A short scoping call usually resolves which weighting fits a project that does not sit neatly in one category.

What is included in a vertical playbook engagement?

A playbook engagement starts the same way any engagement does - a brief - but the channel mix proposed afterward is shaped by the vertical's own playbook rather than a generic template.

  • Brief review against the specific vertical's playbook: what matters most for this audience
  • Channel mix proposal drawing on trending, listings, KOL, PR, community, advertising and social/content as needed
  • Execution through those underlying service lines, coordinated by a single point of contact
  • Reporting adjusted to the metric that matters for that vertical (holder growth for a DAO, install rate for a wallet, developer activity for an L1/L2)

The playbook itself is not a separately priced product; it is priced through the underlying services it draws on, scoped in the brief.

What can't be assumed to work the same across every project type?

A channel mix that performs well for one vertical can underperform for another, because the underlying audience behaviour is different - a memecoin audience responds to speed and momentum in a way a DeFi audience, which is judging security and track record, does not. No agency can guarantee that a playbook built for one vertical will produce the same outcome applied to a different one without adjustment, and market conditions specific to a category (a quiet quarter for GameFi, a strong quarter for RWA) shift what is realistic regardless of channel mix.

What is guaranteed is that the playbook proposed is matched to the vertical's known audience behaviour and adjusted after the first reporting cycle based on real data, not left as a fixed template. See guarantees and refunds for how delivery is handled contractually.

How do vertical playbooks combine with the core service hubs?

A playbook is a weighting and sequencing guide layered on top of the same core services every project draws from; it does not replace them.

Most engagements are scoped by picking the relevant vertical page first, then booking the underlying services it points to.

Frequently asked questions

What is a 'solutions by project type' page?

It is a playbook that matches the core marketing service lines - trending, listings, KOL, PR, community and advertising - to what actually matters for a specific kind of Web3 project, such as a memecoin, a DeFi protocol or a GameFi title. Rather than a separate service, it is guidance on which existing services to weight and sequence for that vertical's audience.

Which marketing channels work best for a memecoin versus a DeFi protocol?

A memecoin's audience responds most to launch velocity and community energy, so trending, KOL campaigns and community activation carry the most weight. A DeFi protocol's audience is judging technical credibility and track record, so PR, content and thought leadership carry more weight than a fast trending push. See memecoin marketing and DeFi marketing for the full playbooks.

Do AI agent and RWA projects need a different approach?

Yes. AI agent and AI token projects are usually introducing an unfamiliar category, so content and PR built around category education carry more weight, alongside AI search visibility since buyers increasingly research through AI assistants. RWA projects lean toward mainstream and institutional-adjacent media rather than crypto-native channels alone.

Can you guarantee the same results applying one playbook to a different project type?

No. Audience behaviour differs enough between verticals that a channel mix built for one, such as a memecoin, will not automatically perform the same way applied to another, such as a DeFi protocol, and category-wide market conditions also shift what is realistic. What is guaranteed is that the mix proposed is matched to the vertical's known behaviour and adjusted after the first reporting cycle.

Which playbook fits a GameFi or NFT project?

GameFi marketing weights advertising, KOL and community work toward player acquisition and retention. NFT marketing weights KOL, community and design work toward the collector and creator audience specifically, since minting behaviour depends heavily on visible community and creator endorsement rather than paid reach alone.

Do you support DAO and DePIN community-first projects?

Yes. DAO marketing and DePIN marketing both weight community growth and engagement, from $990 / month, and technical content heavily, since governance participation and node-operator recruitment depend on a well-informed, actively engaged community rather than broad paid reach.

How do I combine a vertical playbook with the core services?

Start from the relevant vertical page - for example memecoin marketing or exchange marketing - which points to the specific weighting of trending, KOL, PR and community work that fits it, then those underlying services are scoped and booked in the usual brief-to-quote process.
