Gameplan

FanTV was already a hit in Asia but needed a push to crack Western markets. Our challenge was to make some noise on crypto Twitter and position them as a niche leader in AI, DePIN, and Create-to-Earn.

We rolled out a mix of educational threads, product spotlights, and engagement-driven tweets to build a presence. Add in some key influencer partnerships, and we were ready to grow their Twitter following, establish FanTV as a serious player in Web3, and drive new user sign-ups.

Here’s how we made it happen

Marketing strategy

FanTV had millions of app users, but zero social presence. Our goal was to build it from the ground up and position FanTV as the “YouTube of Web3.”

We focused on three core areas:

AI-powered content creation: Showcased how FanTV’s AI tools make content creation easy and profitable, lowering the entry barrier.
DePIN integration: Focused on FanTV’s decentralized infrastructure to attract creators who care about owning their content.
Web2 to Web3 bridge: Simplifying the transition for Web2 users by focusing on easy monetization, without complex tokenomics.

These angles grew FanTV’s social presence and drove adoption, resulting in 170K+ new wallets.

Twitter social media marketing

To put FanTV on the crypto Twitter map, we created an attention-grabbing content mix that targeted three core areas:

Educational threads: Quick, digestible insights on Web3, AI, and content creation, offering genuine value to the community.
Product threads: Showcased FanTV’s standout features to drive interest and conversions.
Engagement tweets: Snappy, interactive posts to spark conversation and connect with the audience.

Posting frequency:

Short tweets – 22/month
Threads – 10/month
Visuals – 8/month

Here’s a look at how we boosted FanTV’s Twitter impact.

Takeaways

Mixing educational, product, and engagement tweets was a winning combo for boosting traffic and interactions.
Consistency was everything. Posting 22 short tweets, 10 threads, and 8 visuals each month was key to maintaining momentum.
The spike in followers and engagement validated our approach and proved we resonated with the audience.

Galxe campaigns

Galxe and other quest platforms allowed us to tap into new audiences by offering a mix of tasks designed to engage different user types. The campaigns included actions like following FanTV on Telegram, joining Discord, and interacting with tweets. With a short, fast-paced quest structure, users stayed engaged and participated more.

As a result, FanTV gained fresh traction across socials, building a growing, engaged user base.

Takeaways

Offering a variety of tasks attracted a broader range of users. This allowed us to refine and optimize based on real-time engagement.
When incentives resonate with the audience’s goals, they’re more likely to engage across multiple platforms. This drives deeper participation and loyalty.

Shillers

We kicked off social media outreach by contacting and collaborating with top influencers, tapping into their large followings to boost FanTV’s visibility. This approach delivered strong early results, driving consistent weekly growth of 10K+ new followers.

Takeaways

Posting one shiller per day proved to be the most reliable strategy, consistently delivering 10K+ new followers each week.
Shilling not only boosted the initial follower base but also helped maintain momentum, fostering ongoing organic growth and engagement.

Telegram bot

To capitalize on the rising Tap-to-Earn (T2E) trend on Telegram, we created a custom TG bot that combined gamification and community engagement. T2E games are taking over Telegram thanks to their simple gameplay, quick crypto rewards, and low barrier to entry. This makes them the perfect tool to capture user attention.

Our bot tapped into this exact model, allowing users to earn rewards for completing in-app tasks. This kept the community engaged and made interacting with FanTV fun and rewarding.

Impact:

Development: Completed in just 1 month.
Growth: 14.5K followers gained in the first 3 weeks.

Meme campaign

To engage the community from a fresh, creative angle, we launched a meme campaign that encouraged FanTV users to get creative and showcase their humor. Since FanTV is a platform built for creators, this campaign aligned perfectly with the brand’s vision of fostering user-generated content.

Our initial goal was to receive 50 meme submissions, but the community surpassed expectations, submitting 76 memes in total. The campaign sparked real interest and engagement, leading to 3x growth in community participation.

KOL management

To maximize FanTV’s reach, we carefully shortlisted top KOL options for the client, focusing on those with a strong presence in the Web3 and crypto space. After negotiating prices and preparing detailed talking points, we secured impactful interviews and collaborations.

FanTV’s significant community growth, strategic influencer engagement, and focus on creative and interactive content all contributed to a thriving social media presence and community adoption. The project is now positioned as a strong player in Web3, AI, and content creation, setting the stage for continued expansion in new markets.
