ICON is one of the most successful blockchain projects from Korea, having raised over USD $42 million in just six hours during their 2017 ICO. They have the goal of hyperconnecting the world.ICON has its own blockchain engine called LOOPCHAIN and an active developer community, and has undertaken a number of government and corporate projects.

PROJECT BRIEF

G3 Partners helped with marketing and promotion for ICON’s token sale. Afterwards the ICON Foundation – the nonprofit board that oversees the blockchain’s operation – was looking for a way to share all of the news coming out about the project. Their executive committee approached us again to help create The Iconist, the first dedicated news site for the ICON Republic.

PROJECT DETAILS

In August 2018 (around one year after ICON’s $42 Million ICO), G3 Partners launched The Iconist, a blog that is ‘the dedicated news channel for the ICON Republic’. We also manage the official social media channels for the news site (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram) and keep up with all the latest community discussions on Reddit and Telegram.

The ICONist quickly became established as a premium news channel for the ICON Foundation. Moreover, it quickly came onto the radar for journalists around the world as a source of information and news from the ICON community and the wider blockchain ecosystem in Korea. We’ve seen 5 x growth in the news channel in the last six months.
