In-Person Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What I found most impressive about ChainStory was their deep understanding of the crypto industry and their ability to tailor their strategies to our specific needs. They went beyond traditional PR approaches by incorporating innovative tactics and staying ahead of industry trends. Their team’s creativity, attention to detail, and proactive approach truly set them apart. What I also appreciated was their commitment to building a long-term relationship, not just executing a one-time campaign. They were always available for consultation and consistently offered valuable insights to help our fund stand out in a highly competitive market.

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

While we were overall very satisfied with the work delivered by Chainstory, one area for potential improvement could be in expanding the reach of their media placements into more diverse markets. While they did an excellent job in the crypto and financial sectors, exploring additional verticals or global regions could further enhance brand visibility. However, this is a minor point and does not detract from the overall exceptional service they provided. Their team was responsive and always open to feedback, which allowed for continuous refinement of the strategy throughout our partnership.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

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:

If you're a serious builder looking for a PR partner who can bridge the gap between your vision and the crypto-native media landscape, I couldn’t recommend Chainstroy more.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

1. Secured 5+ features in top crypto and Web3 publications.
2. A 40% increase in organic traffic and waitlist signups.
3. 4+ new partnership leads from media exposure.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was excellent. Everything was delivered on time, with clear timelines and check-ins. What stood out most was the personal touch: It genuinely felt like working with an internal team. They were proactive and responsive and always made us feel like our priorities were their priorities.

What was your primary form of communication with Chainstory?

• In-Person Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

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.
