Marketing agencies in the crypto industry are often seen as a shortcut to enhancing brand influence, but the reality is not so. This article points out that most agencies struggle to truly understand the core of the project and are more suitable for short-term execution rather than brand building. In contrast, excellent in-house marketing talents have more long-term value, can delve into the industry, proactively learn, and build real industry connections. In the end, the success of marketing depends on the initiative of the project itself, not the agency's promises.
