It is always nice to give kudos to the competition. Here I promote the 10 best ICO marketing agencies I do not own. I had 94% help from my staff in writing this. Thanks to Super G and the rest. Our agency TSM Global probably ranks somewhere in the top 5. But based on the experiences of clients I would surely give the first two places to ICOBox and AmaZix that have been around much longer than us. We hope to catch up with them by the second half of 2019.

Top 10 ICO Marketing Agencies

Cryptocurrencies are rising in popularity. Many are attempting to get involved in this potentially lucrative field. Unfortunately, about 3 initial coin offering (ICO) campaigns closed unsuccessfully every day in 2017 because their marketing approach was ineffective.

Fundraising for an ICO is a very different process than it is for other business opportunities. For your average business, anyone with a computer and a home office can potentially raise funds for themselves and their brand.

Cryptocurrencies are different. Building this type of business requires a specific market that is interested in your brand. Your ICO must add value to what your goods or services will offer. You must provide concrete evidence that supports the value of your ICO.

You must be able to tell your story. People get involved with brands that are interested in the same social issues that they care about. There must be a purpose that goes beyond profit behind your ICO.

That is why it is so important to utilize a marketing agency that specializes in the ICO field.

#1. ICOBox

ICOBox is designed to help any brand launch their ICO through blockchain growth promotion and business facilitation. They have raised more than $300 million for their clients through their fully customizable packages and services.

There are 40 unique ICO features from which to choose and there are fewer payment limitations with this agency compared to others. ICOBox accepts payments in fiat and 70+ coin options.

The platform sets on your own website, offers custom pricing, and there is a four-tier referral program available.

White papers, landing pages, and marketing support are available. Stand-alone services, such as a technology or legal package, are also available.

#2. AmaZix

AmaZix focuses on engaging audiences and managing communities as part of their initial coin offering marketing. Their desire is to create strength within your audience. Over time, this strength translates to potentially more effective fundraising services.

Supports also include blog post and whitepaper support. One of their unique services is to fight back against the scammers that are so prevalent in the crypto field.

Every project receives an individualized estimate. There is an extensive list of requirements that must be met by brands to receive such an estimate, so be sure to review their checklist before contacting for services.

#3. Searched

This ICO marketing agency specializes in helping start-ups grow from the ground up. In addition to the initial coin offering outreach efforts, search engine optimization and digital strategies are developed to create a well-rounded brand.

By taking the digital growth approach from a startup perspective, Searched creates simplicity from the complex. Their blockchain marketing creates a natural sales funnel that is designed to lead to higher conversion rates while fundraising.

#4. Crynet

If you feel that your marketing team can handle your public relations and outside marketing for your ICO, then this agency could be a solid choice to consider. Crynet takes an advisory approach and will help you develop a new outreach effort or test your existing strategies.

There are several idea platforms that are available through this ICO marketing agency as well. Any work they create for you, such as a blog, is placed on their domain, however, and they offer limited press release distribution, so this skill set is designed more for mature agencies that need to outsource specific tasks.

#5. FoxTail

FoxTail Marketing is a full-service agency that offers multiple strategies for businesses of any type. ICO marketing is just one of the divisions that are available. SEO, SaaS, and content marketing strategies are also available.

They offer a full range of services, from messaging and social media to reputation and community management. They’ll handle smart contracts, token structuring, and even web design if that’s what your brand needs.

This ICO marketer does have a reputation for success by focusing on building brand trust. How they create that success requires a conversation with their team to discuss pricing and service needs.

#6. 7Marketz

7Marketz describes themselves as a full-service marketing agency. They offer ICO services, but it is not listed as one of their “most frequent projects.” If you require marketing automation, graphic design, optimization, or conversion optimization with your initial coin offering, they may provide the structure you need.

The agency claims they create up to a 30% conversion on ICO marketing campaigns. That figure is somewhat ambiguous, however, as a 4% conversion rate on a campaign would still make that claim an honest statement.

They focus their ICO marketing work on programmatic buying, event scheduling, search, and email campaigns. More than $112 million, in total, has been raised for ICOs through their efforts.

#7. MLG

Based in Toronto, Canada, this ICO marketing agency focuses primarily on smart contract technology and “next generation” blockchain applications. Their services include token development, distribution, and marketing as well.

One true advantage offered by this agency is their extensive series of blockchain research tutorials that involve some of today’s top cryptocurrencies. If you’re not sure if an ICO is right for your brand, these tools will help you be able to weigh the pros and cons rather effectively.

They will also assist with blockchain development.

#8. Cryptodex

This ICO marketing agency focuses on digital token structures and processes that lead toward success. They work with each client to create an individualized process that leads to unique outreach opportunities. Every blockchain and cryptocurrency program is created to meet the needs of your brand.

The end result is the creation of a sustainable community. Existing processes can be used, or innovative solutions can be developed.

#9. Zerion

Zerion focuses on the structure of your sales process to build a successful ICO experience. They double-audit the code used for the ICO with a third-party specialist to ensure full integrity throughout the process.

They also utilize analytics to go beyond smart contracts, linking investors to projects that are of potential interest to them. Every investor is verified under KYC standards and fully vetted before coming into contact with your brand.

There are few traditional marketing services offered to promote your brand, but if you need ICO structure as a startup, you might give this small firm a closer look.

#10 Modern Token

Modern Token is a company that provides blockchain consulting for VC-funded projects. Our clients are international companies that are willing to embed blockchain technology into their projects and to attract additional funding from private investors.

MT’s team is continuously growing, and we are looking for English-speaking experienced professionals and young talents that show initiative, analytical thinking and are able to work without supervision both independently and in a team.

Any ICO marketing agency offers the potential to bring you fundraising success.

This list of the Top 10 ICO marketing agencies offers a brief glimpse of those who have a proven track record of success.

You must perform your own due diligence to determine which agency has the capabilities to best serve your brand.

Most initial coin offerings fail because the people running them arrive unprepared for the unique challenges of this field. By partnering with one of these agencies above, the experience and perspectives that partner with your brand can increase the chances of success.
