Can I switch from MarketAcross to FORKOFF mid-engagement?

Yes. Migration takes under 48 hours. We absorb your existing PR + content brief, audit your current owned and earned surface for qualified-view share, and route the highest-signal moments into the FORKOFF distribution stack. Your existing MarketAcross contract can wind down on its own cadence; the audit ledger lights up immediately.

Does FORKOFF replace PR or work alongside it?

Both. For most Web3 launches, FORKOFF runs the founder-funnel + long-form + clipping layer that compounds qualified attention while a parallel PR program runs underneath. Where MarketAcross runs PR placement + content as the bundle, FORKOFF runs the distribution layer that makes the PR placement actually circulate beyond the original outlet.

Is MarketAcross a bad agency?

No. MarketAcross is one of the most established Web3 PR agencies and runs real Tier-1 outlet relationships. The gap is operating model: PR-led shops sell placements and authority. FORKOFF sells qualified-view share with a ledger receipt. Different products solving different problems. Pick the model that matches the bottleneck you actually have.

How does FORKOFF prove qualified views vs raw impressions?

proprietary traffic verification, watch-threshold scoring, geo-validity rules, and bot-detection cohorts. A view is qualified only when all four checks pass. Across 200+ FORKOFF campaigns the qualified-view share is 99.7%. PR-led shops report placement count, outlet authority, and reach estimates. Different reporting layer, different operating model.

FORKOFFVSMarketAcross

Audit ledger vsearned-media PR

Q: Is FORKOFF objectively better than MarketAcross?

Different products. FORKOFF runs embedded execution priced on qualified views with a weekly audit ledger receipt. MarketAcross runs earned-media PR plus content production targeting Tier-1 crypto and tech outlets (CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Decrypt, The Block).

Q: What is the real cost difference once the audit ledger runs?

MarketAcross retainers anchor on placement count and content volume. The qualified-view share on those placements never appears on the invoice. FORKOFF retainers anchor on qualified-view share verified through our proprietary qualified-view audit. Every cycle ships qualified-view receipts on the audit ledger, so real attention quality is on the invoice before it goes out. Tier-1 PR can deliver authority signals that compound, but raw distribution audit is opaque.

Q: Do you serve the same ICPs as MarketAcross?

Strong overlap on Web3, light overlap on AI. MarketAcross is deep on L1s, L2s, DeFi, exchanges, and crypto infrastructure with established Tier-1 outlet relationships. FORKOFF runs L1s, L2s, DeFi, DePIN, AI agents, AI infra, and institutional Web3 with audit-ledger receipts. If your goal is Tier-1 outlet placement, MarketAcross is closer to lane. If your goal is qualified attention and outcome-priced distribution, FORKOFF is built for that.

Switcher testimonial

“

We ran a $25K monthly PR retainer for a token launch. Tier-1 coverage landed, the press release moved, the placements stacked. The audit ledger told us 27% of the post-placement traffic was bot-grade. FORKOFF rebuilt the launch on qualified views in 30 days. Tier-1 PR continued in parallel, but cost per qualified view dropped 5x and the ledger receipts paid for the swap.

How to switch

No disruption to your existing PR contract. We absorb the brief, audit the current owned and earned surface for qualified-view share, and light up the FORKOFF distribution stack alongside whatever the PR retainer is delivering.
