  • Creative Setup: Deployed 5 visual variants including static banners showcasing the 4-inch touchscreen, animated GIFs demonstrating QR code transactions, and native ad formats emphasizing open-source transparency.
  • Channel Mix: Allocated budget across Display (60%), Native (25%), and In-App Wallet Inventory (15%) to reach users across research touchpoints and decentralized application interfaces.
