Ep 31 - Web3 Marketing Playbook with Phin from Abstract

The DCo Podcast

Web3 marketing has a retention problem. Too many projects chase mindshare, but few know how to build communities that last. In this episode, Phin, lead marketer at Abstract, shares his journey from Web2 to Web3 and unpacks why most crypto marketing playbooks are fundamentally flawed.

We explore why engagement farming isn’t enough, why crypto products should compete in the mainstream, and how Abstract is rethinking consumer crypto by making Web3 seamless.

If you’re a founder or marketer looking to cut through the noise and build something real, this episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 Introduction
