Preparing a company for an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) can be a challenge, especially when the company only has an MVP and a limited track record. For SMART VALOR Clarity needed to build credibility and brand visibility within banking, fintech and tech circles, as well as understand the hype among the crypto community ahead of its product rollout and public crowdsale.
We sensed the potential of the company’s CEO Olga Feldmeier and looked to establish her as a global voice on bitcoin, blockchain and fintech in general.
We rooted the campaign in a comprehensive content strategy built on informative advice and engaging thought leadership. With her credentials established, we then gave Olga Feldmeier the moniker the ‘Bitcoin Queen of the Crypto Valley’ and secured a host of high profile print and broadcast opportunities where she commented on everything from the price of bitcoin to the growth of female CEOs in tech companies and the ongoing economic implications of collapse of the Soviet Empire.
We also tracked breaking stories which we considered would give Olga the opportunity to add her unique and insightful perspective. We also leveraged Olga’s attendance at a series of events including Consensus 2018, Money 2020 and Blockchain Summit to generate broadcast opportunities.
The campaign paid off handsomely. Within two months Olga was seen as a major innovator and thought leader in the fintech/crypto world and was featured in major broadcasters/print titles/websites such as CNN, Business Insider and Forbes.
