Token Launch KOL Marketing, Timed to the Minute
Quick answer: Cohort Marketing runs token launch KOL marketing built specifically around TGEs: teaser waves pre-TGE, a coordinated blitz at listing, and sustain pushes after. Attention peaks are engineered, not hoped for. We've run this exact playbook across 500+ campaigns, including TGEs, presales, IDOs and exchange listings, timing creator coverage to the minute your contract goes live so the chart, the timeline and the community channels spike together instead of on three different days.

A TGE is won two weeks before it happens
Buying one wave of shoutouts on listing day means buying the top of your own attention and nothing after it. Launches that hold need staged pressure: narrative seeding while the market discovers you, community pushes into the event, synchronized KOL coverage at listing, and sustained voices when the chart cools and the crowd moves to the next ticker. We draw from a vetted network of 5,000+ creators tiered by audience size and performance history, so each stage gets the right voice (credibility-building accounts pre-TGE, high-reach accounts at listing, steady posters for the sustain phase) instead of the same five KOLs posting on repeat.


What we do
- Pre-launch seeding: narrative and teaser content from credible voices 2 to 4 weeks out, building recognition before your ticker means anything to the market.
- Launch-day blitz: coordinated multi-KOL coverage synced to your listing hour, so the timeline floods in the same window your contract goes live.
- Exchange & MM sync: KOL timing aligned with listings, market makers and PR drops, so coverage lands exactly when there's liquidity to absorb it.
- Post-TGE sustain: follow-up content and clipping so attention doesn't die with the candle, keeping your project in feeds for weeks, not hours.
- Launch analytics: wallets, volume and holder growth tracked against each wave, so you know which stage actually moved the numbers.
Synced with listings, market makers and PR
A launch is a coordination problem, not a content problem. We slot KOL waves into your full launch stack (exchange announcements, press, community events, market-maker readiness) so every channel peaks in the same window instead of trickling out over a week. That's how Step App's TGE turned coordinated attention into holder distribution and trading volume: the KOL wave, the exchange post and the community push landed together, not three days apart. We plan backward from your listing hour, not forward from whenever creators happen to be free.


Who it's for
Teams approaching a TGE, IDO, presale or major exchange listing are the fit for this page. For the full launch playbook beyond KOLs, see token launch marketing and TGE marketing. If you're earlier than that, still deciding on timing or scoping budget across KOLs, clipping and PR, run the numbers first with our KOL ROI calculator so KOL spend is sized against expected return before you commit.
Lead time matters more than budget size. Three to four weeks before TGE is the comfortable minimum for the full seeding, blitz and sustain sequence. Inside two weeks we can still run the launch-day blitz and sustain waves, but seeding gets compressed and fewer top-tier creators have open slots.
Why Cohort Marketing
500+ campaigns including TGEs, presales and listing pushes give us a pattern-matched view of what moves a launch: which KOL tiers matter at which stage, how many creators is enough before returns flatten, and how to structure a raid the moment the contract goes live. We layer in token launch clipping to flood short-form feeds while KOLs set the narrative, so your listing shows up in For You pages as well as crypto Twitter. One team runs both, so the KOL brief and the clipping brief never compete for the same three days of attention.
