Particle
Go-to Market Plan
Innovative crypto startup revolutionizing the fine art market with NFTs
Particle, an innovative art company in the crypto space, seeked a go-to market strategy and execution partner to help launch the company’s new product in the NFT space. Particle faced a challenge: an overheated nonfungible token (NFT) market and a complex offering, requiring an approach that appealed to both crypto and art enthusiasts. With no internal marketing resources at the company, MAVAN had just 60 days to assemble a team of NFT experts and execute the launch. In addition to the timeframe, the project also required organic growth with viral upside and a focus on earned media.
