Client: Rising Memecoin Project (NDA)

Objective: Drive awareness and acquisition among global crypto-enthusiasts through high-visibility digital channels.

Introduction

Memecoins depend on viral momentum and fast-paced crypto communities. For such growing projects like memecoins, mass exposure and performance-driven advertising are the most important. Here, we detail how our new client – currently trending memecoin – launched Bitmedia banner ads to reach a broad crypto audience and deliver healthy campaign metrics.

In June–July, the rising meme coin used Bitmedia.io crypto ad network to launch a targeted banner ad campaign. The goal was to reach engaged crypto users in key markets (Germany, UK, USA, Spain, India), test different ad formats and buying models, and optimize for cost-effective results. 

Campaign Setup

This campaign combined creative flexibility and granular targeting to reach the right crypto audiences. Static and animated banners, both CPC and CPM adgroups, and diversified device targeting ensured a wide coverage.

Notes on Campaign Dynamics

Campaign scheduling is just as important as targeting. July 28th was marked as a holiday, and there was a deliberate pause on marketing activities for that date.

daily

Reasoning: Crypto audiences generally display reduced activity and engagement during weekends and holidays. By holding back on ad spend during low-activity periods like July 28, the team protected campaign ROI and maximized efficiency—redirecting budget to days with more volume and engagement.

Dynamics and Positive Trends

Looking at performance over time reveals several encouraging trends. Continual optimization drove improved outcomes.

  • CTR Growth. Day-by-day analysis showed CTR climbing from 0.11% up to 0.56% peak after optimization, indicating improved ad relevance and audience targeting.
  • Cost Control. Smart balance between CPC and CPM campaigns enabled flexible bidding and spend management, keeping average CPC highly competitive (as low as $0.33 in key markets).
  • Quality Desktop Traffic. High share of desktop impressions enabled more wallet installations and deeper user sessions (based on prior product analytics).
  • Geo Expansion. Germany, UK, and the USA were particularly responsive, allowing for scalable user acquisition strategies.
  • Top placements. Ads were featured on premier crypto sites like Coincodex, CoinGecko, GeckoTerminal, BscScan, CryptoRank, CoinCheckup, Coingape, NewsBTC, and Cryptopolitan—ensuring high-quality impressions among legitimate crypto communities.
