Your portfolio project

A Web3 growth experiment brief

Create a campaign proposal for a product you understand. A clearly labeled simulation is enough for this exercise.

What to include

Audience research, positioning and sample campaign assets.
A funnel connecting acquisition to meaningful activation and retention.
A measurement plan explaining attribution limits and how you would detect low-quality activity.

Explain the business outcome you are measuring. Label simulated results clearly and avoid treating token incentives or wallet counts as proof of lasting demand.
