INCREASE IN MARKETSHARE (ENTERING 6 MONTHS)
The Objective
Our brief was to revise the current marketing processes by developing a new holistic approach capable of achieving an ambitious target of 5x growth in the exchange’s active user base before the end of the calendar year.
DMCG was engaged in a three part project; discovery, enhancement and a handover which included the training of new placements alongside C-Suite guidance.
The Results
Within 4 months DMCG curated a prioritised refresh of marketing activities.
We then leaned heavily into a final period of handover, working to ensure that the new processes and approach would remain baked into Coinstash’s ongoing digital marketing activities.
While their marketing growth is expected to continue to accelerate, the initial engagement yielded impressive results:
Overall site performance
+93% increase in new user acquisition
+116% increase in total visitor base YoY
