11 Questions for a Blockchain Community Manager

This week we also received some coverage in the OmniSparx blog.

OmniSparx is building tools that are designed to help blockchain communities collaborate and thrive. Their tools, which are being built specifically for crypto teams and community members, will allow teams to view and engage with all of their social channels from one central dashboard.

During our trip to Consenus 2018 in NYC, Justin sat down with their team to try out their alpha build and give feedback for improvements. This week, they featured Justin on their blog, and gave him the opportunity to talk about what he likes most about working in the Community space.

“… a daily highlight for me is seeing people (in the community) who really care about our project, and this space as a whole, and watching them take the time to continuously educate others.” — Justin

Facebook Reconsiders Crypto Ad Ban

Facebook announced on June 27 that it would reverse its full-scale ban on cryptocurrency ads on its platform, allowing verified businesses to once again advertise their blockchain/crypto products.

This is huge news for blockchain companies like ours. For context, Google, Twitter and Facebook had all blocked crypto related ads earlier this year, which was a huge blow to teams vying to drive adoption for their products.

This had affected our marketing strategy substantially, as search + social are some of the most effective platforms for marketing SaaS products.

We’re optimistic that this will help move things in the right direction for all platforms. As it stands, we’re currently exploring what is required to continue advertising on Facebook , with the goal of acquiring new users for Tabby Pay and Rewards.
