🎤 Moderated by industry veteran Jayvee Fernandez from @PhilstarNews, our panel featured renowned KOLs @WolvesDAO co-founder @SamSteffanina, @GamingGridx co-founder @yellowpantherx, and @ParallelTCG Ambassador @Alliestrasza sharing their invaluable insights.

Different KOLs excel in different areas, some connect brilliantly with hardcore gamers, others with investors or casual players. Understanding your specific influence helps you provide real value.

4️⃣ Focus on Measurable Objectives

Successful KOLs understand the metrics that matter to games (DAUs, floor prices, community growth). This awareness transforms influencers from content creators into strategic partners.
