It's very simple: advertising, advertising, and more advertising. Developers need an active and engaged community of like-minded individuals. The amount of PR directly impacts the number of investors and users. In return, brand ambassadors are rewarded with a portion of the project's coins for their work.
Moreover, in order for a cryptocurrency project to be listed on an exchange where it can sell its coins, there must be evidence of its usefulness and an engaged audience that is interested in its development.
That's why marketing departments try to attract as much attention as possible in various ways.
