As long as you have a good idea, the success of your innovative crypto-coin, cryptocurrency wallet, ICO, blockchain platform or anything crypto-related, for that matter, boils down to one more critical factor: Great marketing.
Marketing is the element that feeds the bottom line of a business is something Crypto media buying agencies know well. It’s the tool that drives prospective customers to your doors and lures them to invest in your project.
When it comes to cryptocurrency/ blockchain, great marketing is particularly important given the newness of the field, the illiteracy of the layperson and the need to soar above the hordes of competitors.
What is Crypto Media Buying?
Crypto media buying is the process of attracting new users, investors, buyers, or customers via advertising channels that require payment. Popular forms of crypto media buying are influencer marketing, paid media, out-of-home advertising, and podcast marketing.
How can crypto media buying agencies help me?
According to Ty Smith, Founder and CEO at Coinbound, media buying is one of the most influential crypto marketing methods, since it gets you quoted on leading media and social influencer sites, propping you up as an expert in your field and cementing your reputation.
With cryptocurrency, the need to get featured on top media sites, such as The New York Times, Bloomberg or TechNews is especially huge given that they help you gain visibility in the crypto, technology and mainstream media. Few of us have the skills to write articles for such publications, never mind persuade these publications to publish our releases.
How do we plunk our place on those sites?
Through dedicated crypto media buying agencies that are long on experience and research. You’ll want qualified agencies that have the manpower, skills and know-how that take you years of training, money and effort to muster.
You’ll also want digital marketing agencies that specialize in crypto (rather than any “regular” digital marketing agency), since crypto and blockchain have their own language, technology and marketing methods.
We’re so early in this industry that most people don’t know what blockchain, bitcoin or crypto is. You need a very good agency that knows how to understand your project and catch the public’s attention in a blip second.
You’ll also want an entity that cares.
To that end, we ran through dozens of crypto marketing and media-buying agencies, checking their websites, user reviews, expert reviews, and publications to compile this list of today’s top five crypto media buying agencies.
