EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!! — Wanchain Hires a Crypto PR Veteran To Massively Boost Marketing.
Despite being barely four months in, 2024 has proved to be one of the most pivotal years in Wanchain’s history. From adding numerous new routes for various assets to adding new bridges between ecosystems, Wanchain’s cross-chain prowess has proved itself as one of the main infrastructure plays of this cycle. While an increase in cross-chain volumes and services remains the most bullish facet of the ecosystem, it’s the improvements made to the project under the new leadership of Temujin Louie that have been breathing new life into the overall vibe of the project. It is with that goal in mind that Wanchain has brought on Andrej Uličný as the new marketing manager!
Andrej Uličný carries an impressive background in crypto with an even more impressive background in marketing. Firstly, his expertise in marketing garnered him the Head of Partnership position at Altcoin Buzz, one of the top 10 largest crypto media companies in the world after doubling company revenue in just six months of joining. Andrej has also played a key role in heading numerous affiliate marketing campaigns that generated hundreds of millions in trade volume for top exchanges such as Binance. His knack for crypto marketing became even more impressive in his recent introductory Wanchain AMA. For a full deep dive into Andrej’s accomplishments please check out his LinkedIn.
