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

* All reporting dates cited = primary 4 months of engagement (April 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023) against prior period
** Results mentioning YoY comparison are July 1-31, 2023 against same period in 2022
