The Top 6 IEO Marketing Firms in 2019

With the emergence of initial exchange offerings, several IEO marketing services are popping up around the world. However, not many of them end up delivering the results they promise.

So how do the best startups cut through the clutter and find the right and suitable IEO marketing firm? This list presents some of the best IEO marketing service firms based on their strengths, and, their past accomplishments.

Initial Exchange Offering: What is it?

Initial exchange offering (IEO), if it is your first time coming to the term, is a new financing model that allows blockchain startups to raise funds directly on a cryptocurrency exchange platform. It is strikingly similar to the ICO crowdfunding model except that, in IEO, the exchange facilitates the token sale rather than the startup doing it themselves. With IEO, the exchange provides a platform where you can conduct your token sale. They also provide a guaranteed listing on the exchange after the sale concludes.

What constitutes IEO marketing service?

IEO marketing services usually cover a broad range of tasks, including legal and technology support, marketing and community engagement as well as fundraising and listing of your project. While some IEO marketing firms cover all of these areas, some focus specifically in certain areas. Therefore, it is important to discuss with your marketing agency, particularly in the early stages, regarding what functions they handle to ensure successful crowdsale.

With that said, let’s take a look at some of the top IEO marketing firms in the cryptocurrency space today. It’s worth noting that the list below in the strict sense is not a ranking — it just a list.
