Overview
About Coinbound
Coinbound is a New York agency that has worked only in crypto and Web3 since 2018. It runs influencer campaigns, earned media, paid ads, community management and fractional CMO work for exchanges, wallets and layer-1 chains. It names MetaMask, OKX, Sui and Algorand among its clients and publishes campaign numbers for several of them.
Coinbound is a New York agency that says it has served crypto and Web3 clients since 2018. Clutch lists the team at 50 to 249 people, though the profile also mentions a 45-plus person team, so treat headcount as approximate. The site says it belongs to a wider group called the Nowbound Agency Network, and names Ty Smith as the host of its podcast and a founder profile.
The service menu is broad but all pointed at crypto: influencer marketing, PR and earned media, PPC and paid ads, Discord and Telegram community management, X-focused social, events, branding, fractional CMO and tokenomics consulting. A newer AI optimisation (AEO) offer targets visibility in answer engines. Pricing is not published; the site says proposals depend on goals, budget and growth stage. Clutch shows a $10,000+ minimum project and $150 to $199 an hour.
The evidence is unusually concrete for the category. The site describes a MetaMask mobile swaps launch with more than 50 crypto creators and 2 million-plus impressions, an OKX YouTube campaign it reports brought 10,000-plus users at about $32 each, 55-plus media placements for Algorand in 30 days, and 440-plus sponsored posts for Sui. Those are the agency’s own figures. On Clutch it holds a 5.0 average from 14 reviews, with reviewers from OKX, Cryptorefills and Juno praising timeliness, flexibility and responsiveness. Criticism is thin; one client said the retainer structure caused some confusion.
Coinbound fits exchanges, wallets and layer-1 projects with a real marketing budget that want creators and tier-one crypto media handled together. Early-stage teams working with a few thousand dollars, and brands outside crypto, should look at smaller or more general shops. Ask which creators it actually pays and how it discloses sponsored posts, since influencer-led work in this sector depends heavily on that.

Editor’s take
A well-documented crypto specialist for funded exchanges and protocols that want influencer and PR scale. Smaller projects will find the entry price high.
