Crypto growth marketing agency · Founded 2022 · Dubai
The crypto growth marketing agency for funded Web3 teams that need strategy and execution run by one team, reported every week on users, volume and TVL.
A note from our CEO
Funded crypto teams rarely lose on product. They lose on distribution. Agencies sell posts, and nobody owns the number that matters.
We built Surgence Labs to be the team that does: one embedded team inside your channels, running creators, community, content and search, and reporting every week on the users, volume and TVL that move your business.
200+ clients later, that is still the whole idea. Zero to one is the easy stage. One to 100 is where the work is.
Julian StaffordCo-Founder and CEO, Surgence LabsWho we are
Surgence Labs is a crypto growth marketing agency for funded Web3 teams. One embedded team runs creators and creators, community, social, PR, search, design and development, and reports every week on new users, trading activity, volume and TVL.
We have worked with 200+ teams, from Falcon Finance and StandX to ADI PredictStreet, Jupiter, Lotte and LINE FRIENDS, through ten sector growth programs and 20 services.
We also build our own products, TraderComps, OnchainSuite and Onbook AI, and run a Web2 creator team that brings Instagram and TikTok creators into the same programs.
Team days, client visits and events across our markets.

How we operate
Crypto marketing has a trust problem. These are the rules every Surgence Labs program runs on.
01
Every plan says who we recruit, what we produce, where it runs and what we report. We run the work, not a slide deck about it.
02
Creators publish from their own accounts and disclose paid posts. No auto-posting and no rented or aged ad accounts.
03
We report every week on new users, funded users, trading activity, volume and TVL. Reach is a supporting number, never the goal.
04
When a liquidity or trading partner is part of a program, its activity is named and reported on its own line, never mixed into your results.
05
Creator fees, ads and incentive budgets are passed through at cost and approved before they are committed.
Client voices
“We set a target of 30,000 pre-registrations and Surgence passed it more than twice over in three weeks. What mattered more was that those people downloaded the app and kept using it.”
Paolo Tasca, Founder, Nodiens
“Surgence Labs helped us scale QORPO WORLD to $1B+ FDV and position the project as one of the leading tokens in Q1.”
Rastislav, CEO, QORPO WORLD
“Surgence ran our crypto marketing like a growth team, not an agency. Their points programme and creator network brought in retail depositors who stayed.”
Falcon Finance team, Falcon Finance
“They've taken a totally different approach from a traditional marketing agency.”
