Most projects treat a listing as a finish line and go quiet the moment trading opens. That wastes the rarest asset in crypto marketing: a reason for neutral media and traders to pay attention at the same moment.

Build the narrative before the ticker goes live

The announcement is your peak-attention window. Line up the assets in advance so nothing is improvised under pressure.

After the open, shift from hype to substance. Publish a short explainer on what the listing unlocks for holders, and keep community channels staffed for the questions that always spike. A listing generates a burst of curiosity; whether it converts into holders depends entirely on what those curious people find in the 72 hours that follow.
