Application · B2C Marketing Manager · Spain Remote

I want to run B2C marketing for Mercuryo.Acquisition, lifecycle, GTM. And I ship AI-native, not just talk about it.

I am Thomas Blanc, a crypto growth marketer since 2019. At SwissBorg I owned the GTM that did $1M in deposits the first week, and gamification mechanics that added $300K incremental revenue in 3 months. At Galactica I grew a community from 2K to 2M organically, zero paid spend. I co-founded Mithril, a crypto product that did $400M in volume in 6 months, bootstrapped.

I pair that senior B2C operator's judgment with an AI-native workflow. Translation: content adapted per audience instead of one generic blast, experimentation cycles measured in hours, deeper analysis per week. I remain the operator. The tools are leverage, not substitutes.

Role: B2C Marketing Manager
Team: Marketing
Location: Spain, remote
ATS: BambooHR #415
Based in: Limassol (same as your EU office)
Ship date: 2026-04-22
Two transparency notes On the previous application: I applied to your B2C Product Marketing Manager role in March 2026 and never heard back. I am applying to this one because the JD maps more directly to my stack (B2C lifecycle + GTM + AI-native workflow) and because I have sharpened the AI-native part since. Wanted to flag it so it does not read as spam.

On Mithril: you will see on my CV that I am a co-founder. It is a bootstrapped builder project, no VC board, no pressure to scale headcount. I am ready to commit full-time to Mercuryo as my next career step and I would rather cover this in the first call than let it sit as an open question.
Why Mercuryo, why now

A B2C pivot riding on a proven B2B engine. I want to build it.

Mercuryo has the hard part already done. The On-Ramp API lives inside MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, 1inch, PancakeSwap, Bybit, Bitget Wallet, Tonkeeper and 500+ other wallets and apps. That is distribution you cannot buy on ads. The Spend card with Mastercard is the B2C shift. Mercuryo Pay is the next leg. The B2C marketing seat is wide open at exactly the moment where the engine behind it is ready.

Two things make this specific for me. I live in Limassol. Your Limassol office handles EU licensing, compliance and BD. If it helps, I can walk in. Second, I spent my SwissBorg years inside a regulated EU crypto operator and I track MiCA, PSAN and CASP rollouts as a native French-speaking EU crypto user. I bring the regulatory instincts that a B2C brand needs when it goes live across the EU.

This is not a generic "any crypto exchange" pitch. Mercuryo is the rare company where B2B infrastructure gives oxygen to a B2C brand play, the product mix covers the whole daily-use crypto experience, and the EU regulatory moat is real. That is the kind of place where I want to spend the next 3 to 5 years.

WHAT I SEE
B2B distribution: 500+ apps
B2C product: Spend + Pay
Card issuer: Mastercard
EU licensing hub: Limassol
My location: Limassol
My EU regulatory stack: MiCA, PSAN, CASP
Match: real, not generic
Why I fit · 01

Three reasons this is a direct match, not a stretch.

TL;DR
I cover the JD on three axes. Crypto-native since 2019. B2C lifecycle veteran from SwissBorg. AI-native by default, not by retrofit. The last one is where most candidates fall off. I use Claude Code as a daily tool, I have shipped production code with it, I can automate marketing ops on day one.
01 · Track record

6+ years crypto, B2C growth delivered.

SwissBorg: $1M in deposits week 1 on a product GTM I owned end-to-end. Gamification mechanics that added $300K incremental revenue in 3 months with zero paid. A reactivation campaign with 2.8x lift from 4-variant segmentation.

SwissBorg · 2022 to 2024 · Growth and Lifecycle
02 · AI-native leverage

More variants, sharper tests, deeper analysis.

I run 5 tailored copy variants per segment instead of 1 generic blast. I iterate on creative in hours, not weeks. I go deeper on cohort and funnel analysis every week. My senior B2C instincts pick the hypothesis and the angle. AI removes the grunt work, not the judgment.

Quality + coverage per campaign, not spam
03 · Full stack

Acquisition, lifecycle, GTM, positioning. All of it.

I have run it all: SwissBorg GTM launches, Galactica 2K to 2M community organically, Mithril co-founder with $400M in volume in 6 months. I do not need a handoff to ship. Strategy, creative, copy, measurement, iteration.

What AI-native actually means for B2C marketing.

You're looking for hands-on fluency with AI as part of a daily workflow. Here is what that buys you in outcomes, not tool names. Every hypothesis, every brief, every final sign-off still comes from me. AI removes the bottlenecks between idea and shipped asset.

01 · Content adapted per audience

No more generic blasts.

Each segment, market and channel gets its own voice. Where a solo marketer would ship 1 blast for all, I ship 5 variants tailored to the segment's stage, motivation and language. I still write the brief and the voice. Automation handles the variance, I handle the quality bar.

Outcome: 5x coverage per campaign, same quality
02 · Experimentation, sharper

Faster cycles, better instrumentation.

From hypothesis to live experiment in hours instead of weeks. Automated creative variations, instrumented from day one, read with cohort depth. I pick the hypothesis and read the results. The speed is how I win on iteration count versus bigger teams.

Outcome: 3 to 5x more tests shipped per month
03 · Analysis depth

Less reporting, more interpretation.

Cohort deep-dives, funnel attribution, competitor teardowns, user research synthesis happen in a fraction of the time. I read every chart myself and own the next bet. The win is that I spend my week on judgment calls, not on fighting SQL or decks.

Outcome: a real weekly decision memo, not a dashboard dump

You're looking for, I've delivered.

Every requirement you listed, mapped to concrete proof from my track record.

First 2 weeks on the job · 02

What I would ship in my first 10 working days.

TL;DR
Week 1: learn. Manager alignment, data deep-dive, funnel audit, competitor teardown, synthesis. Week 2: ship. One quick-win campaign live, AI-native marketing ops stack deployed, US positioning hypothesis drafted, 90-day roadmap reviewed with my manager.
3 unknowns I'd resolve week 1 before committing to this plan

This plan is a hypothesis, not a contract. It assumes things I cannot know from the outside. Senior means saying what I do not know. Three specific unknowns would make me re-order the priorities:

  1. The real B2B vs B2C net revenue split. If On-Ramp API is 80% of net revenue, the B2C plan has to respect the B2B roadmap. If Spend and Pay are the real growth bet, priorities flip.
  2. The lifecycle and CRM stack actually in use. Braze, Customer.io, homegrown, a mix? This drives what I can ship on day 6 and what I need to ask product for.
  3. What "growth" means to my manager vs the CEO. Activation rate? ARPU? Retention of existing B2B partner end-users? New logos? I surface the delta on day 1 so I do not optimize for the wrong metric.
Day 01 · Week 1 · Learn

Manager alignment, then team

First slot with my direct manager: align on their top priority, their top blocker, what they need from me in the first month, and who they want me to meet in what order.

Then 30-minute slots with the people my manager lines up, typically Product, Support, Compliance, and Marketing peers. Same 5 questions to each: top priority, top blocker, favorite metric, dreaded metric, last win. CEO and cross-functional leads come later, on my manager's timing, not mine.

Goal: map the deltas between how each stakeholder defines "growth", then bring that map back to my manager.

Deliverable: Intro notes doc for my manager
Day 02 · Week 1 · Learn

Data deep-dive

Full access to Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA4, Braze, Stripe or on-chain payment data, KYC dashboards. Read last 6 months of weekly reports. Read last 3 launch postmortems.

  • Map the current lifecycle triggers and segments
  • Identify which dashboards leadership actually uses vs ignores
  • Flag any instrumentation gaps that would block week 2 experiments
Deliverable: Data map
Day 03 · Week 1 · Learn

Funnel audit

Full B2C funnel from first touch to retained user: acquisition to signup to KYC to first buy to first repeat to retained to dormant to reactivated. Identify the top 3 drop-offs by absolute volume and by value at risk.

Output format: one chart per stage, value of prize, rough ICE score, proposed intervention.

Deliverable: Funnel diagnosis deck, top 3 drop-offs quantified
Day 04 · Week 1 · Learn

Competitor teardown

Full audit of Ramp, Transak, MoonPay, Onramper, Kado on 7 dimensions: positioning, acquisition channels, lifecycle, pricing, UX, content, social presence. Combine SimilarWeb, Ahrefs and manual walkthroughs.

Goal: one actionable insight per competitor, and one "parity play" plus one "differentiation play" for Mercuryo.

Deliverable: Competitor teardown deck
Day 05 · Week 1 · Learn

Synthesis

Prioritize levers with ICE scoring (Impact, Confidence, Ease). Pick top 3 for next 90 days. Draft week 2 shipping plan with explicit hypothesis and success metric per item.

Share the draft with my manager by end of day 5 so week 2 starts with alignment, not debate.

Deliverable: Week 1 synthesis, week 2 plan
Day 06 · Week 2 · Ship

Quick-win campaign, live

Ship one campaign targeting the top drop-off from day 3. My default first bet: KYC drop-off reactivation, 4-variant segmented email plus push sequence (same playbook that hit 2.8x lift at SwissBorg). Live by end of day.

Instrumented from day one: segment, variant, lift vs control, cohort read at 7 and 14 days. No "we shipped it" without "and here is how we measure it".

Deliverable: Campaign shipped, instrumented
Day 07 · Week 2 · Ship

AI-native ops stack

Set up the AI-native marketing ops inside Mercuryo's existing stack. Write 3 reusable workflows: campaign brief to copy variants, copy to short-form video, weekly data export to exec summary memo.

Every workflow documented with a readme so the team can use, fork or kill it without depending on me. My rule: anything I automate is reviewable by a human before shipping.

Deliverable: AI ops runbook shared with team
Day 08 · Week 2 · Ship

US positioning hypothesis

Draft Mercuryo's US B2C angle. Test 3 positioning statements against ICP interviews (5 US crypto users, 3 non-users considering). Go or kill decision ready for team review by end of day.

Output: a one-page memo with the chosen angle, the runner-up, and the evidence for the pick. Not a deck, a memo.

Deliverable: US positioning memo, go or kill recommendation
Day 09 · Week 2 · Ship

GTM Launch Canvas

Codify the launch framework I will use for the next product or feature launch. A 1-page canvas with 8 cells + 1 core: ICP, positioning, channels, creative brief, lifecycle, measurement, rollback plan, post-mortem template, and the one non-negotiable outcome.

Reusable by anyone in the team for their next launch without me in the room.

Deliverable: GTM Launch Canvas v1
Day 10 · Week 2 · Ship

90-day roadmap, reviewed with my manager

Present week 1 findings, week 2 shipped work, and a prioritized 90-day roadmap to my manager first. Format: one slide per initiative, ICE score, owner, KPI, confidence. We align, cut, sharpen, then my manager decides when and how we bring it up to leadership.

North Star I'd propose (subject to baseline review): weekly active B2C buyers (anyone who completes a fiat-to-crypto buy or a Spend card transaction in-week via Mercuryo's direct channels). 3 lead metrics: activation rate (signup to first buy), D30 retention, ARPU per buyer. No single vanity metric. If all three move, the North Star moves. Target ranges at 90 days depend on the baseline I'll see in week 1 data; the ambition is double-digit lift on activation and measurable retention compounding.

End of day 10: we are aligned, instrumented, the first campaign is already measuring, and my manager has a tool they can use to defend the team's priorities upward without me in the room.

Deliverable: 90-day roadmap deck, reviewed with my manager
