Background

Neo Smart Economy is a blockchain platform with a growing global community. When I joined, the Spanish-speaking LATAM community had been inactive for ~3 months, both X and Telegram were dormant after a previous community manager failed to drive meaningful growth. No local-language content, engagement or moderation.

What I Did

Community Management

Took full ownership of the Spanish ecosystem across X, Telegram, and Discord. Built moderation systems, established community guidelines, reduced spam by 40%, and created a consistent daily presence across all platforms.

Content Strategy

Developed a local-language content strategy built around educational threads, market commentary, and LATAM-specific narratives. Content was written natively in Spanish, not translated, to resonate authentically with the audience.

Campaign Execution

Organized and hosted AMAs, interactive polls, and localized campaigns tailored to LATAM crypto adoption patterns. AMA events drove engagement spikes of +70% and became the highest-performing content format for the community.

LATAM is not a single community. It's 20+ countries with different cultures, economies, and reasons to use crypto. The only way to grow here is to understand that from the inside.
