Growth framework – How do you want the project to grow from 0-100 within a specific timeframe? At this point, you're not focused on only the GTM but also retention and growth strategies.

Think: referrals, user-generated content and features (depending on the product), leaderboards, staking, NFT gating, etc.

All parties involved should actively brainstorm campaigns that benefit both their brands and their communities. These collaborations are also top-of-funnel activities that can bring new people into your ecosystem. Here's how you could plan your co-marketing, especially when making announcements on collaboration: Use the Chainlink strategy—every collaboration should be an opportunity for you to be discovered (this is the top of the funnel).

Every time a project joins, both parties should:


Write a blog post
Share posts on X
Cross-amplify the news through retweets and replies
Create a marketing campaign
Host an X space Use the Chainlink strategy—every collaboration should be an opportunity for you to be discovered (this is the top of the funnel).
