EXPERTISE

What I do.

Strategy, execution, experiences.

BRAND & TRUST

“I've built brands people spent $40K to belong to and products that had 25K signups before they launched. I build trust AND hype.”

80Kapplications (y00tlist)
DeGods brand credibilityBuilt the culture of a brand where people spent $40k to belong. We didn't have a product or roadmap, just a brand and culture worth betting on.
Boba from zeroCreated the entire narrative for a pre-launch trading platform. Positioned it, built the voice, scripted the content. 25K waitlist signups before the product was live. Over 645k+ organic views across 9 posts.
Brand positioning that drives productPushed for Solana support at Boba before anyone else on the team saw the gap. Pushed for agentic AI tooling back in 2025. Marketing should inform product, not just promote it.
Sponsor credibility Created pitch decks and presented live to Kraken and Polygon leadership to close six-figure headline sponsorships. Led the ASICS x DeGods collab as account lead. Brands trusted me to position them well alongside us.
GROWTH

“Every audience I've ever built started at zero with no budget. I know how to make people show up, and how to make them stay.”

EXPERIENTIAL

“My events don't have lanyards. I produce experiences that make people feel something, moments they still talk about years later.”

TECHNICAL LEVERAGE

“I build my own tools now. That's why I can produce like a small team. ”

Every daybuilding and shipping
Built this entire siteDesign, code, CMS, admin dashboard. Just me and claude code CLI, you're looking at it.
Solo marketing stack at BobaBuilt automated content engines, Discord infrastructure and internal dashboards that let me run an entire marketing operation like I had my own dev team.
AI-native workflowI prototype and ship daily. Not as a side hobby, but as a necessity. Every tool I need, I build myself.
Self-taught builderI didn't go to school for this. I started by hiring dev shops for DraftBadge, then taught myself to build with AI. Now I ship real products and tools.
THE STORY

How I got here.

From guerrilla marketing on a dry campus to producing mansion takeovers at Art Basel.

Aaron Kruger
WHO I AM

I'm Aaron.

I've spent my career figuring out how to make people care about things that don't have billion-dollar ad budgets behind them. A campus that banned my product. A startup asking strangers for their government IDs. A brand where people spent $40K to belong. A trading platform nobody had heard of.

Every time, the approach was the same: build something people actually want to talk about, earn their trust before asking for anything, and create experiences that do the marketing for you. No ads, no playbook. Just good ideas and the details that make them unforgettable.

I build with Claude Code every day now. This entire site, tons of small tools and apps I use personally. I can't code a single line myself, but AI changed that. It's honestly the most exciting part of where my career is going.

I'm looking for a team that values magic moments and cares about the brand like it's a product. Because it is.
