Aradena Games

Aradena Games, a pioneering Web3 gaming platform for desktops, faced limited options for desktop app advertising and a tight launch window. Aradena needed a targeted approach to reach native Web3 users, drive sign-ups, and boost token sales at their Token Generation Event (TGE). Here's how Aradena's marketing team used the Blockchain-Ads platform to run their campaign and achieve their advertising goals.

Campaign Overview

The marketing team at Aradena executed two strategic campaigns aimed at

• Acquiring new sign-ups at low cost
• Achieve 2x ROI on token sales campaign at Token Generation Event (TGE)

Strategy

Both campaigns leveraged Blockchain-Ads' advanced Web3 targeting capabilities to reach the ideal audience:

• Web3 Audience Targeting: Focused on Web3 Gamers, NFT Collectors, and DeFi users
• Wallet Targeting: Targeted users of popular Web3 wallets like Metamask and Trust Wallet

• Portfolio Balance: Targeted users with varying portfolio sizes to ensure a diverse player base

The strategy also included:

• Personalized messaging for different audience segments
• Emphasis on Aradena's unique blend of tactical trading card gameplay and 3D Hex battler visuals
• Highlighting the game's play-to-earn model and full digital ownership of assets

Results

In just 30 days and with a limited budget, the campaign achieved impressive results:

• 3X ROI on Token Sales campaigns.
• $2 Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) for Sign-Ups
• $4 CPA for frequently active players
• 2x Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) at TGE
