Although not everyone is as recognizable as NFTNick, nearly everyone Art spoke with recognized the value-add Lever brings to Web3 marketing, which relies heavily on the creator economy. After sharing Lever’s mission with the bustling crowd, Art affirmed, “What Lever is building is igniting the entire space to think differently.”

He said, “Talking to content creators, influencers, KOLs, and their counterparts on the other side of the aisle, marketing coordinators at crypto companies, no one trusts each other. What Lever is doing revolutionizes the way influencers and companies interact, because it brings trust into the equation.”

Beyond NFT NYC: Building Trust in Web3 Influencer Marketing

The conference feedback for a service like Lever—one that builds trust and reduces friction between content creators and crypto projects—was resoundingly positive. Now that the dust has settled post-NFT NYC, the Lever team is sprinting to bring its influencer marketplace to launch in June 2024.

Moving forward, Lever will continue leveraging positive momentum to help ease some of Web3 marketing’s most sticky pain points.
