A Fintech & Crypto Marketing Agency for Restricted Verticals.
We are a fintech and crypto marketing agency for trading platforms, exchanges, web3 protocols, DeFi products and neo-banks. The team has spent years operating where most agencies legally can't — Meta-banned, TikTok-restricted, Google-policy-sensitive verticals. Compliance is not a side note; it's a core competency.
Most "crypto marketing agency" work falls into two failure modes: agencies that don't know what's allowed (and tank your accounts), or agencies that play it so safe they leave 60%+ of CAC efficiency on the table. As a web3 marketing agency we run Telegram, X and creator distribution natively. As a defi marketing agency we navigate Google policy and the regulatory matrix per market. As a fintech growth agency we run trust-building SEO, ROAS-driven Google Ads and compliance-grade reporting your CCO will sign off on.
Whether you're running token launch marketing, scaling a crypto exchange marketing program, or building nft marketing for a drop — this page explains how we operate inside the constraints, who we work with, and what's allowed where.
WHY MOST FINTECH MARKETING FAILS
Compliance Isn't Optional Anymore.
Generalist agencies running fintech and crypto marketing without compliance fluency burn budgets in three ways. Symptoms we see when teams come to us:
×
Accounts banned, ad spend frozen — Meta or TikTok ads launched without compliance review, account suspended, weeks of momentum lost.
×
Locked into one channel — Google approved, everything else blocked, no diversification, no resilience when policy shifts.
×
Crypto creators that look fine, then aren't — influencers with shady token history, FTC violations, or unverified audiences. Brand-safety disasters waiting.
×
SEO that ignores E-E-A-T in finance — generalist content writers, no expertise signal, Google YMYL reviews kill rankings.
×
No regional compliance — same campaign across EU, US, MENA. EU MiCA rules ignored, MENA-specific restrictions missed.
×
Vanity reach, no funded users — KOLs paid for impressions, no UTM, no conversion to deposit, CCO can't sign off on the spend.
A real fintech and crypto marketing agency operates inside the constraints — Telegram-native, X-native, Google-policy-aware, regional compliance-mapped. Diversified across approved channels. Sponsor-grade reporting your CCO can defend.

/ FAQ
FINTECH & CRYPTO FAQs.
What does a fintech & crypto marketing agency do?
A specialist fintech and crypto marketing agency runs marketing for verticals where most channels are restricted — Meta-blocked, TikTok-restricted, Google-policy-sensitive. We map a compliance matrix, run approved channels (X, Google, Reddit, Telegram, KOLs, SEO), and produce CCO-defensible reporting tied to funded users.
Can you run ads for crypto / DeFi / web3?
Yes — particularly strong fit. Years operating crypto / web3 / DeFi where Meta and TikTok ads are off-limits. Approved channels (Google with cert, X, Reddit, programmatic) plus creator-driven distribution. Compliance navigation included.
What about token launches and NFT drops?
Yes. Token launch marketing and nft marketing are core motions. X / Twitter campaigns, Telegram-native community ops, vetted KOL distribution, FTC/SEC disclosure compliance. Brief to live in 48 hours when launch windows demand.
How do you handle Google Ads cert for crypto?
The cert process is part of onboarding. We handle the application, supporting docs, YMYL E-E-A-T requirements for landing pages, and ongoing policy-update monitoring. Not every crypto brand qualifies — we'll tell you up front what the path looks like.
Do you cover regional compliance (EU MiCA, US, MENA)?
Yes. EU MiCA rules, US state-by-state, MENA crypto regulations, UK FCA — mapped per engagement. Regional creators vetted for local compliance. Native CMs in EN, RU, AR, ES, TR.
How do you measure ROI in fintech?
Source to funded user. Source to LTV. KYC drop-off tracking. Cohort analysis post-deposit. CCO-defensible reporting — not "engagement screenshots" your compliance team can't sign off on.
What about neo-banks and traditional fintech?
Yes — Revolut on the roster as reference point. Neo-banks, payment apps, lending platforms. Fewer restrictions than crypto, but still YMYL territory for SEO and regional rules to navigate.
How fast can a campaign go live?
48 hours brief to live for KOL activations. Compliance review and Google cert can take 2–4 weeks for new accounts. Launch packages typically scope at 4–6 weeks of pre-production for a clean compliant rollout.
