THE TERRAIN

What makes NFT & Web3 hard.

Web3 audiences live in Discord, Twitter, and on-chain. We understand the community dynamics, crypto marketing channels, and authentic engagement strategies that drive real mints and secondary sales — not just speculative attention.

  • / 01Mint-day swings — 24 hours of intense activity then a long tail; daily-active and holder retention are completely different problems.
  • / 02Discord and Twitter are the funnel — community engagement determines mint success more than any paid campaign.
  • / 03Trust + scam fatigue — buyers have been burned; legitimacy signals (audits, partnerships, team transparency) matter more than promised utility.
  • / 04On-chain attribution is split — wallet addresses don't map cleanly to ad clicks; closing the loop requires custom tracking.

OPERATOR'S WORD

Chris and the iExcel team are consummate professionals and incredible collaborators. Data driven, available at odd hours, inquisitive thinkers. They drove me to be better at my job, and supported me endlessly. I couldn't endorse Chris enough. He's fantastic and his team are all fantastic.

Jacob Eisenberg
Chief of Staff · NBA Top Shot / Dapper Labs

Amazing to work with, an ingrained portion of our day to day business. He's truly one of the partners that understands the idea of sharing in the success. Extremely knowledgable, an expert in his field, can't recommend Chris and his team more.

Nick Lagusis
Product Marketing Lead · Magic Eden

Chris is the definition of hustle, and I was fortunate enough to experience his hunger for success first-hand. His management style of 'test often, fail quickly' and 'ask for forgiveness instead of permission' gave me autonomy and ownership which provided me invaluable experience early on in my career.
