Growing Exodus from 80K to 113K, without buying a single follower
The situation
Exodus is a self-custody crypto wallet, which means its entire business runs on one fragile asset: trust. When I joined, the social channels were reactive. Posts went out, mentions piled up, and the community on Discord had flatlined around 5K members. Crypto Twitter punishes brands that sound corporate, and rewards the ones that sound like a person.
What I did
- Took ownership of brand presence across eight platforms: X, Discord, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Google Play, the Apple App Store, and Trustpilot.
- Rebuilt the content rhythm around engagement data instead of a fixed calendar, doubling down on the formats the community actually responded to.
- Ran recurring community events on Discord, including AMAs, market-day threads, and onboarding nights for newcomers scared of self-custody.
- Trained and led a team of nine specialists so the brand voice stayed coherent whether you met us in a tweet, an app store reply, or a crisis thread.
- Aligned campaigns with marketing and product teams so launches landed as one coordinated push, lifting average X engagement 15% in three months.
Most social managers chase impressions. Abraham chased trust, and the impressions followed. He turned our Discord from a help desk into a place people actually wanted to hang out. Dana Whitfield · Director of Customer Experience, Exodus Movement
