Crypto App
Marketing

Compliant crypto advertising requires navigating each platform's specific approval process. On Meta, crypto financial products require prior written permission — we manage the Meta Cryptocurrency pre-approval application process, ensuring your ad account has the correct permissions before any campaigns launch. On Google, crypto exchanges require Financial Services certification, which requires FCA authorisation in the UK, ASIC registration in Australia, or equivalent regulatory status in your operating market. We build compliant ad creative that avoids prohibited claims (guaranteed returns, specific price predictions, investment advice) and includes required risk disclosures. We've navigated this process in 18+ markets and maintained zero client ad account bans under our management — which is the single most important outcome in crypto marketing, since account bans can take 3–6 months to appeal.

KYC drop-off is the most common silent revenue killer in crypto exchange marketing. Most exchanges see 30–70% of installs abandon before completing identity verification. We address this through four interventions: progress visualisation (showing users exactly how many steps remain, making the process feel finite and completable), security reassurance (clear statements about how their ID data is protected and processed, reducing privacy anxiety), instant verification messaging (communicating that modern document verification takes 2–5 minutes, not days — most users assume it's slow), and multi-touch re-engagement (push, email, SMS sequences that bring back users who started but didn't finish, with the right message at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours after abandonment). Combined, these interventions have taken KYC completion from 24% to 58% for one client without changing any UA campaigns.

Crypto communities are the most anti-advertising audiences in tech — direct promotional content is spotted and called out instantly, damaging brand reputation in the communities you're trying to reach. Our approach is to never market to crypto communities; instead, we build genuine presence within them. On Twitter/X this means consistent technical and educational content from team accounts, founder visibility in crypto discourse, and earned retweets from respected voices rather than paid promotions. On Reddit, we ensure the team is present in relevant subreddits sharing genuine expertise — AMAs, technical explanations, product roadmap transparency — rather than promotional posts. KOL partnerships are with genuine crypto educators and analysts who have authentic audiences, not paid influencer accounts with inflated follower counts. Community-built presence in crypto generates installs that retain at 2–3× the rate of paid UA, because users arrive with prior trust rather than cold curiosity.

We maintain pre-built campaign structures for three market scenarios: price milestone campaigns (BTC ATH, round-number milestones like $100K), recovery campaigns (significant price recovery after a correction, catching users re-entering the market), and fear/capitulation campaigns (bear market bottoms when long-term investor intent is actually highest). For each scenario, we pre-approve creative, pre-build audience segments, and pre-authorise surge budgets — so activation takes 60–90 minutes rather than 48–72 hours. The install spike around a major BTC price event is typically 24–48 hours before sentiment normalises. Every hour of delay is proportional lost volume — the crypto market doesn't wait for creative approval timelines.
