Case Study: Maecenas boosts global media coverage for its Andy Warhol art auction with Montieth & Company

Maecenas wins global media placements with Montieth & Company for Warhol’s first major auction

Maecenas, a digital art token platform, faced the challenge of auctioning its first major artwork, Andy Warhol’s "14 Small Electric Chairs," using its cryptocurrency token. The launch required a communications strategy that could navigate a skeptical media landscape, regulatory concerns in the U.S., and resistance from traditional art market players. Montieth & Company was engaged to provide public relations support for this initiative.

Montieth & Company implemented a multi-market communications strategy that included refining Maecenas' White Paper and creating materials to help the media understand the novel auction mechanics. By leveraging its expertise in art, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies, Montieth & Company successfully secured a series of global media placements in national, financial, and crypto outlets. This PR support was instrumental in achieving a successful auction for the tokenized Warhol artwork.
