Solutions

Coinbound ran a structured KOL amplification program designed to maximize reach, credibility, and sustained visibility over the full campaign window.

Creator selection and activation

We sourced and coordinated creators whose audiences aligned with on-chain infrastructure, DeFi, and ecosystem discovery, prioritizing quality of audience and credibility over vanity metrics.

Clear narrative and content guardrails

We provided tight messaging guidance so creators could post in their native voice while staying aligned to Alkimi’s core value proposition.

Sequenced distribution for compounding awareness

Rather than concentrating all activity into a single spike, we staged coverage to keep Alkimi consistently in feed and top of mind.

Ongoing performance monitoring

We tracked post performance in flight and adapted creative angles and posting cadence to sustain strong view velocity and engagement.
