One campaign, one song, pop audience. Your results will depend on the track, the genre and the budget — we’ll tell you what we expect before anything runs.

how it works

Pay today. Live within a week.

  1. Step 1

    Pick a budget and pay

    Choose a total budget below. You pay the setup and management fee with Stripe; the calculator shows exactly what reaches the ads.

  2. Step 2

    Tell us about the release

    A two-minute form: the track link (or a private link if it isn't out yet), release date, and what you want the campaign to do.

  3. Step 3

    We build the ads

    Short vertical clips of your song with on-screen hooks, a smart link to Spotify and Apple Music, and targeting by genre and listening habits.

  4. Step 4

    Launch, optimize, report

    Ads go live on Instagram. We move budget toward whatever is bringing listeners cheapest, and you get a report every two weeks.

pricing

One number. No retainer.

A $500 setup fee for the creative and campaign build, plus 20% of your total budget to run it. Everything else is spent on ads. Pick a budget and watch the split.

the part that lasts

Saves outlive the ads.

A stream is a moment. A save puts your song in someone’s library, and Spotify notices. By the end of the run this track had 5,566 saves and 4,093 playlist adds — and in the final 28 days, with ads winding down, Spotify’s own playlists were still feeding it:

  • Radio3,598
  • Mixes905
  • Discover Weekly485
  • Your DJ264
  • On Repeat62
  • Smart Shuffle53

questions

Before you pick a budget.

What am I actually paying for?
Two things. A one-time $500 setup fee covers the creative — we cut the short vertical ads from your song, build the smart link that routes people to Spotify or Apple Music, and set up the campaign. Then 20% of your total budget is the management fee for running and optimizing it. Everything left over is spent on the ads themselves. On a $2,000 budget that's $900 to us and $1,100 to Meta.
Where do the ads run?
Instagram, mostly Reels, with Feed and Stories behind it. Each ad is a short clip of your song with on-screen text and a Listen now button that opens your track in the listener's own streaming app.
Does my song have to be out already?
No. If it isn't released yet we build everything around your release date so the campaign goes live the week it drops. If it's already out, we can usually be live within a week.
What happens after I pay?
You land on a two-minute intake form (your name, email and budget are already filled in). Within 72 hours we come back with the plan and a launch date. Once the campaign is live you get a report every two weeks with spend, conversions and your Spotify numbers side by side.
Will the streams stop when the campaign ends?
They slow down, but they don't stop. Saves and playlist adds keep your song in people's libraries, and the activity trains Spotify's algorithm — on the campaign below, Radio, Mixes and Discover Weekly were still feeding plays a month after the last ad ran.
Is this guaranteed?
No honest ad campaign is. The results on this page are from one real campaign and yours will differ with the song, the genre and the budget. What we can promise is posted pricing, real reporting, and that we only take campaigns we think will work — if yours isn't a fit we'll say so before anything runs. Minimum budget is $2,000.
