Why most crypto marketing fails

Your brilliant DeFi protocol isn’t failing because the technology isn’t good enough. It’s failing because your marketing doesn’t showcase its value.

Most agencies create campaigns that sound like they were written by AI or someone who’s never used a DEX. They don’t understand tokenomics, community dynamics, or why your users actually care about decentralization.

The result? Generic marketing that falls flat with crypto-savvy audiences who can spot inauthenticity from a mile away.

Techtonic’s crypto-native marketing

We’ve been here since day
one

While other agencies discovered crypto in 2021, we’ve been yield farming, getting liquidated on GMX (kidding…mostly), and living in Discord communities since 2017. We don’t need to learn your industry — we live it.

Strategic leadership, not just execution

Every account gets CMO-level oversight from fractional marketing executives with years of traditional and blockchain marketing experience. No junior account managers learning on your dime.

Results that matter to your business

We track qualified user acquisition, protocol adoption, and investor interest — not vanity metrics like impressions. Your growth ties directly to business outcomes.

Full-service crypto
expertise

One of the biggest issues we see regularly is fragmented efforts. By that, we mean you do a bit here, maybe a bit there. However, your protocol lacks a comprehensive marketing package to take it where you need it to be. 

At Techtonic, we built our content engine to fix that for you. Here’s how we make it happen.

Phase 1 – Building the foundation

This phase is all about discovery. We’ll analyze your current efforts and come up with some new goals. We’ll also conduct audience research and take a hard look at your current target personas to see if we can make some improvements. On top of that, we’ll provide a full audit of what you’re doing and what your competition is up to.

Phase 2 – Implementing the framework

This is where we get into some stuff that may sound familiar. We’ll map out your content, conduct SEO keyword research, and create your social media calendar. Not on the email train yet? We’ll get you started on that and on top of some video content planning, along with a few more enhancements to really get the ball rolling.

Phase 3 – Opening the doors

The icing on the cake is the snowball effect. You may have your own flywheel for your project. This is ours. Successful SEO content informs social media topics. That podcast you were on? Well, that’s getting mentioned in your newsletter. Blog posts get broken down into infographics and more social content. Everything connects and amplifies, creating the Techtonic Content Engine flywheel.
