Pre-TGE marketing should be token-centric and conversion-focused.

In the final weeks before launch, attention should concentrate on the token itself — not abstract protocol vision. Retail participants evaluate opportunity through token mechanics, not architecture diagrams. Messaging should therefore emphasize, in order:

• Demand drivers — why participants would buy and hold.
• Airdrops and community incentives — how early supporters benefit.
• Utility — the token's functional role within the ecosystem.

Campaigns should target retail audiences deliberately and culminate in clear calls-to-action. Sponsored placements, KOL amplification, and ecosystem announcements should direct traffic to a concise landing page that outlines token mechanics, timeline, and participation steps.

Every touchpoint should convert attention into an owned channel — email capture, X follow, or community join. Awareness without conversion weakens launch concentration.
