Brands struggle to engage Web3 audiences due to the technical complexity of the space, the need for specific domain knowledge, nontraditional community dynamics, prior understanding of blockchain technology, and loose regulations. This complicates partnerships, fundraising, and even optics for Web3 products and services, creating a cycle in which breakout technology is consistently underfunded due to an asymmetrical demand/supply curve, making it harder to find qualified talent, harder to build use cases, and thus harder to secure funding and/or budget. The research is clear: 28% of social media marketers struggle to keep up with influencer marketing, and brand demand for specialists will continue to grow symmetrically with the field.
