CASE STUDY
Owning the Home of Crypto — from prestige to participation
The Challenge
In a market defined by complexity and volatility, CoinMarketCap needed to cement its position as the definitive Home of Crypto — and turn millions of passive users into informed, confident participants.
The SOLUTION
A two-pronged, video-led strategy:
The World's First Global Crypto Awards — a two-week digital programme with 16 categories and a live-streamed finale, giving the category its first true cultural moment.
CoinBites — 20 x 3-minute explainers decoding individual cryptocurrencies, voiced by a signature AI gorilla to cut through a crowded content landscape.
Prestige at the top. Education at the base. One brand at the centre.
KEY RESULTS
24M+ total views
60+ high-profile PR headlines worldwide
Cemented brand leadership in crypto data and education
Turned passive users into informed, responsible participants — at scale

CASE STUDY
Building an In-House Studio to Stand Out in a Crowded Market
THE CHALLENGE
As a new player in an overcrowded trading-platform market, Capital.com needed to differentiate itself from established competitors and build credibility.
THE SOLUTION
We built and launched a bespoke in-house video studio and created a scalable video content strategy — from market analysis explainers to thought leadership pieces — that allowed Capital.com to publish at volume, in multiple languages, with the authority of a global media brand.

CASE STUDY
Turning Vision into a $10M Launch Story
THE CHALLENGE
When a fledgling crypto platform needs to build trust fast, content isn’t a “nice to have”, it’s the difference between traction and obscurity. VTrader came to us pre-launch with a clear challenge: How do you explain a complex product, establish credibility, and drive user adoption… all at once?
THE SOLUTION
We created two core assets:
A hero film to define the brand and articulate the vision.
A founder-led explainer to build trust and simplify the product
The strategy was simple: Position VTrader not as another trading platform — but as a credible, human-led business solving a real problem in crypto.
KEY RESULTS
Instrumental in securing a $3m seed round
Helped successfully launch the platform into market
Drove an 80% increase in user onboarding within 6 months of release
OUR MISSION
To elevate how the world understands finance — by turning complexity, data, and real-world insight into powerful, credible stories that build trust, drive engagement, and deliver meaningful commercial impact.
