Hey there! I’m Joeri Billast, also known as ‘The Web3 CMO.’

🌿 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
I’m thrilled to launch Sintra Synergies, where technology and leadership meet nature. This is a movement for leaders who want to harness the power of AI and Web3 without losing sight of what really matters: 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. If you’re tired of the same old grind and ready for real transformation, this is your chance: www.sintrasynergies.com

🎧 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝟑 𝐂𝐌𝐎 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
In my Web3 CMO Stories podcast, I talk to the game-changers, creators, and innovators shaping the future of business. We get into the real stuff. No fluff. Ranked in the top 5% globally, I’m proud to say that it’s become a go-to resource for anyone serious about growth. This isn’t your typical business podcast. It’s about diving deep into what really works.

📚 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫
I don’t just talk about marketing; I live it. My book, "The 5K Challenge for Solopreneurs", hit #1 on Amazon for a reason: because I’m obsessed with making sure that every entrepreneur can access the tools they need to succeed. I’ve spent years pioneering new strategies (hello, LinkedIn Live streams before they were cool!) and quadrupling client revenues. Marketing is my playground, and I’m always on the hunt for the next big opportunity.

🗣️ 𝐊𝐞𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫
I’ve had the honor of speaking to audiences around the world, breaking down complex ideas into real, actionable insights that people can use right away. I don’t do theory. I do practical, human-centered strategies that actually move the needle. Whether I’m moderating a panel on AI and leadership or delivering a keynote on Web3, I’m there to cut through the noise and give people real value.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
If you’re running a B2B tech scale-up, launching your next big thing, or just trying to keep up with the insane pace of digital transformation, I’m here to help. Let’s connect for a virtual coffee, dive into your marketing, and figure out how to get you where you need to go. Without losing your mind in the process. I believe in real conversations. Not just business talks, but how-do-we-make-this-work-for-you kind of conversations.

Let’s not just tell your story, let’s shout it from the digital rooftops. If you’re tired of blending in and you’re ready to stand out, let’s make it happen. The world’s changing fast. Don’t let it leave you behind. 🌍✨

I visited the retreat venue in Sintra today 🌱🏰
It exceeded every expectation 🤩

A private villa overlooking Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle.
Glass meeting room. Garden paths. Chef-prepared meals.
A place designed for deep work and big conversations.

This is where the Sintra Synergies – Future CMO Retreat will take place on 8–11 April 2026.

Featuring Mark Schaefer as special guest, the most trusted voice in marketing.
He helps you rise above the noise! This is a unique opportunity to meet Mark in person and exchange ideas.

I’m now opening the early-decision spots for the retreat
Here’s a first look. See link in first comment.

#sintrasynergies

No time to rest after #WebSummit.
Today I planned two new Web3 CMO Stories episodes at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes for #CCCCLisbon2025.

It is one of the most beautiful venues in Lisbon. I was also here earlier this year for NFC Summit and MEMECON, and it always has the same mix of history, energy and good conversations.

Today that feeling came back. Creators, founders and influencers everywhere. People with strong ideas and stories that stay with you.

Thank you to Kiki, Nicole, Fatema and Miguel from Luna PR for the smooth coordination on a busy day.

Two new episodes are coming soon and I am looking forward to sharing them.

If you already listen to the podcast, let me know in the comments.
And if you decide to subscribe after this post, tell me that too. I’m curious who the regular listeners are.

Great networking & podcasting day at Web Summit!
Highlights include:
☑️ IRL meeting with Márlyson, a fellow member of the EVOLVE Commerce Club
☑️ Recording of 2 Web3 CMO Stories episodes in the #WebSummit official podcast booth with Jo and Carlos
☑️ Catching up with Nicole after her performance at the Pitch Stage about Mark3t, signing her copy of my book and meeting her 2 team mates Cristina and Radhika

Who will I see tomorrow?

Just wrapped my 10th Web Summit. And on Tuesday I tried something new.
I dropped three copies of 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙈𝙊 around the venue.
A small guerrilla experiment… just to see what would happen.

Yesterday, I received a message from Lina:
“I think I found your book.”

Today, we met in person and took this photo.

She told me how she discovered the book, why she decided to message me, and how a simple yellow sticky note turned a random moment into a real connection.

I also got to meet her husband Karolis, founder of AnotherPay (he also turned out to be active in the Web3 niche). Another awesome conversation, and another unexpected link in this huge Web Summit maze.

And honestly… this is why I love this event.
Not the big stages.
Not the hype.
But the serendipity.
A book hidden on Tuesday.
A message on Wednesday.
A great conversation on Thursday.
One book found.
Two brilliant people met.
A story I won’t forget.

- And how builders and marketers can think beyond the buzzwords

PS: Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends 🎉

I just found out something unexpected 🤩

While I was doing follow-up for my Sintra Synergies retreat, I noticed my book 'The Future CMO' had been included in a recommended reading list for marketers.

"37 Books That Should Be on Every Marketer’s TBR List in 2026" by Content Marketing Institute (author: Ann Gynn)

So I took a closer look at the list… and realised something special.

These aren’t random authors.
These are people I’ve learned from, collaborated with, interviewed on the podcast, shared mastermind calls with, or exchanged ideas with over the past years.

Seeing The Future CMO featured next to books by:

• Mark Schaefer – whose thinking shaped entire chapters of my own work
• Joe Pulizzi – who gave half the industry permission to write their first book
• Ann Handley – the reference for clear, human writing
• Brian Piper – who raised the bar for higher-ed content strategy
• Robert Rose – always sharp, always original
• A. Lee Judge – who helped me rethink marketing alignment
• Erika Heald – bridging content and AI in a way many talk about but few execute
• Jim MacLeod – whose list inspired this post and who finetuned my own book cover
• Brendan Schneider – leading the way in school marketing
• …and many more I’ve personally sat down with on Zoom, in LinkedIn groups, and in real-world events

That hit differently.

I’m grateful for the work these authors put out and the conversations we’ve had.
And I’m proud that The Future CMO is now part of the same shelf.

If you’re looking for strong marketing reads for 2026, these books are a great place to start.
I know the authors. I know the value.
And I can vouch for every one of them.

📚 Which book from the list have you already read?

"Most wallets out there are so complicated, they’re intimidating…
 people are afraid of losing their assets.”

RYO’s new Life Wallet was created to fix exactly that.

It’s a non-custodial, all-in-one digital lifestyle hub designed to feel as familiar as the apps people already use, but fully powered by Web3 in the background.
From one simple dashboard, you can:
✅ manage your digital keys to RYO, ETH, USDT and more
✅ chat with friends who also use Life Wallet
✅ send digital assets instantly
✅ check market rates
✅ connect directly to social platforms
✅ (in Japan) buy or cash out crypto through the only FSA-licensed crypto ATM network
✅ soon: shop on the Global Mall and use RYO Pay for stable, real-world purchases

And the best part?
“It’s something your family, your grandparents, your mother and father can actually use.”
That’s the essence of RYO: making Web3 simple, human and usable for everyone.
Here’s a short clip from my conversation with Lani Dizon, co-founder and president of RYO Digital about why the LIFE Wallet matters.

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲: The Future CMO (ebook/audiobook)

The CMO role is fundamentally changing in 2026. Are you ready?

Stop trying to be a superhero.

The new CMO playbook isn't about 'doing it all' but about three strategic choices that make the difference:

✅ Strategy → no chaos, but direction
✅ Storytelling → no noise, but relevance
✅ Smart visibility → no vanity metrics, but impact

That's the essence of The Future CMO.

An anti-burnout manifesto for marketing leaders who want to win in 2026 with systems instead of stress.

Grateful for strong partnerships 💪🙏

With the Thanksgiving conversations still echoing across my feed, I wanted to share something I’m truly grateful for.

A special thank you to RYO Digital for backing the Web3 CMO Stories podcast and for believing in Sintra Synergies' vision from day one.

Partnerships like this are the engine behind everything I create: trust, long-term thinking, community, and shared momentum.

🌿 The Future of Wellness Meets Web3

During CCCC I had the chance to speak with Dirk, co-founder of CUDIS, and ask him one simple question: “What is CUDIS?”

CUDIS is building the next generation of wellness wearables on Solana, helping people live healthier while keeping ownership of their data.
Think of it as the Web3-native evolution of Oura: a ring that tracks your sleep, heart rate, stress, steps and activity… and also rewards you for healthy habits.

Some personal context:
I was already wearing a CUDIS ring during my keynote in Cairo.
At CCCC I received a new blue edition from Dirk, a design that immediately starts conversations. The original ring now fits perfectly with my partner Kim, who prefers a more elegant style.

In the video, Dirk explains the full vision behind CUDIS in his own words.
If you're interested in longevity, wellness tech, AI coaching or the intersection of health and Web3, this project is worth following.

Should I record a podcast with the CUDIS co-founder(s) Edison and/or Dirk?
Curious what you think.

Favikon analysed my year as a creator.

According to their AI model, my content positions me as “The AI-Web3 Wizard.”

Then I saw something that made me smile. Apparently, I mentioned Gary Vaynerchuk, Mark Schaefer and Dennis Yu so often that they became my “best buddies.” Not wrong. They shaped my thinking in different ways.

And the creator personality analysis?
“Launching, inviting, expanding.”
That part feels right. It reflects exactly how 2025 unfolded.

First time sharing on video!

My crazy web3 founder journey... 👇

Many don't know this, but in 2021 I launched my own web3 project.

The concept? 

Take the most popular memes out there and make them into digital pets you could own and take care of. 

We raised a small private round to build an MVP and base community.

With just 2,000 Telegram members we sold out the launchpad round of $250K in one minute.

What followed next?

Three weeks of absolute chaos:

– $550K to $207MM in market cap (375)
– 0 to 75,000 onchain holders
– 0 to 50,000 digital pets sold
– 0 to 55,000 CMC watchlists
– $250K to $30 million in DEX LP
– Hundreds of millions in DEX volume

Going viral and experiencing this pump was the most euphoric period of my life aside from seeing my kids being born.

🤭 My wife still reminds me of the millions in tokens I never sold at this point as I cared about our investors and community.

But, what goes up must come down 😂

Next?

The bear market began to show it's face and decline set in. 

BNB began crashing.

Liquidity dried up.

Our pumped chart was in the worst position it could possibly be.

What followed next was six months of anxiety and stress like I've never had before. 

16-18 hour days with no days off, fighting like crazy with everything else working against me. 

I knew nothing about tokenomics in the beginning of this project (like most all founders).

Buying pressure hides a lot of flaws, and our cracks began to show. 

I had to change our entire token economy while the project was live, which was quite a challenging and expensive transition. 

Nobody likes it when you mess with their rewards, but you can't sit back and let people destroy themselves, either. 

I'll never forget changing the economy over and watching the falling knife that was our chart bounce.

Think your token economy is tight? Try going up 375x in three weeks and see if it breaks 😂

Eventually I left out of frustration and doing literally all of the work.

I'm proud to show my face today because even during the darkest times, I still showed up every day and was present in the community day and night.

I actually formed a business (CONV3RT) with Mike Blutstein, who I met as a community member at my project. 

My perspective isn't based on sitting in the passenger seat watching someone else take risk and acting like their success mine.

It's founded on the highs, the lows, the successes, the failures and 20+ years of experience across every role in business (I'm 43).

My profile/experience section shares even more depth for those interested.

Being a web3 founder was the hardest job I ever had in my career.

Respect for anyone else taking the leap to build their dream ethically in our space.

Up 800% since launch in less than a month - that's Avici!

Why and how? Todays video explores:

– Avici's unique fundraising model (MetaDAO)
– Why they raised $3.5MM when they could have raised $30MM+
– What would have happened if they took the full $30MM
– Liquidity and health of the pool
– How future token mints are powered by community votes & traction
– Why the high FDV low float insiders model is stupid (for retail)

Most of these launches today are low float high FDVs with hardly any revenue or token utilities.

They are designed for mass extraction, not growth. 

Personally, I love how Avici didn't take the full $30MM+ and instead opted to build while taking a much more reasonable market cap. 

This shows the team's alignment and long-term focus, which is essential from a community perspective.

Uniswap releases Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA).

A new price discovery mechanism for token launches.

Think of it as a fair auction where everyone gets the same price. 

No more frontrunning or sandwich attacks.

– Continuous clearing means all bids settle at a single uniform price 
– Automatic bid spreading prevents price manipulation 
– Real-time transparency (everyone sees the same data) 
– Direct migration to V4 pools with liquidity seeding

It's interesting to see more and more ICO tools for projects and tokens focused around retail.

For the past couple years, retail has gotten the especially short end of the stick when it comes to most token launches.

Most anything that went live on a DEX/CEX already had insiders in mass profit mode with retail getting in at the top.

Also, putting together a liquidity pool for your token can be an expense in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

This is why launchpads exist - to help fund LP and CEX listings alongside marketing and community building leading to the launch.

NOTE: This may seed DEX, but projects still have CEX listings in many cases and these costs can be excessive (five, six or seven figures).

On Monday I'll be doing a video deep dive into this, sharing my thoughts on the pros and cons. 

To be frank, most opportunities in our space lately were only good for those on the inside.

This needs to change and retail needs to have an opportunity. 

Else?

The very community supporting the projects will continuously find themselves rinsed.

It's exciting to see the new ways of capital formation.

Once I dig into this a lot more I look forward to sharing an informed opinion!

Uniswap Continuous Clearing Auctions overview!

A new way to launch tokens (5 mins): 👇

One of the biggest challenges many projects face?

How to get their token liquid and into the market.

Uniswap Continuous Clearing Auctions:
1. Projects set sale parameters (tokens, length, min price, etc.)
2. Auction runs for set period of time
3. Bids are spread across the entire auction
4. The final price is settled and v4 pool created
5. Token is now live on the DEX

Without a launchpad, any project can take the launch into their own hands.

Users simply specify "I want to invest 1 ETH at a maximum price of $1/token" and if those parameters are met across the auction their bids get in. 

Price discovery happens naturally.

The challenge?

This could lead to higher prices and market caps on launch, which are negative.

Remember how "Fair Launch" strategies used to be a thing?

What ended up happening is projects sucked all of the liquidity from their communities, launched and had no new liquidity to rise higher.

The same challenge could exist here.

After v4 creation, one must make sure they have new/fresh liquidity for launch.

Else?

New buying volume will be minimal and...

...you'll have buyers who are looking to flip the presale.

With no exit liquidity the chart just looks like a dumped slow rug.

That said, refund policies are harming many founders post-launch.

I know one founder who had the launchpad itself selling and crashing their price, of which 90% of buyers refunded.

The result?

The project ate $100K in listing, marketing, etc. on the launchpad only to keep just 10% of money raised.

The pool?

That was created out of their pockets, which the launchpad then dumped tokens into.

Net losses were $200K+.

I think we'll continue to see more retail-focused platforms spinning up as time goes on.

Retail has been absolutely destroyed lately in this market as most "opportunities" are high FDV insider-riddled projects waiting to dump on them.
