Working with Chainstory has been a game-changer for us. As a project operating in the nuanced world of DeFi and stablecoins, we needed a partner who truly understands the crypto landscape in broad strokes and the specific publications, audiences, and narratives that matter.

From the outset, the team took the time to understand our mission, target cohorts, and the tone we wanted to strike. They didn’t just push us into generic media blasts; they crafted tailored outreach campaigns that got us exactly where we needed to be: featured in leading crypto websites and respected Web3 journals that our community reads and trusts.

The results were tangible: higher-quality inbound interest, better traction from thought leaders in the space, and a noticeable uptick in community engagement. Their network is strong, their communication is transparent, and they get what it takes to stand out in the Web3 space.
Here are two latest examples of articles that we were included in and were spot-on:

What impressed us most was their deep knowledge of the crypto and Web3 space. They didn’t waste time with generic or noisy media. They zeroed in on the right connections, publications, and narratives that mattered to our audience, stablecoin and DeFi users. 
Their precision and focus made all the difference.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Chainstory could have done differently?

I'd suggest they grow their relationships with micro-influencers, KOLs, and podcasters. While we didn't sign up with them specifically for podcasts, having them as an add-on is always nice.
