  • All of our monthly listener ads are strategically places on various music based platforms.

    This service is NOT with playlisting.  We send out ads to different networks for new fans to come check out the artist's music.

    We sometimes do ads on Spotify’s platform, but remember people pay the premium price to get rid of the ads so sometimes it’s not as successful.

    How we guarantee the monthly listeners?  - We know that when a user clicks on the ad it will automatically take them to the Spotify Track URL which will then lead them to your Spotify Profile.  As soon as they land on the profile, it will automatically begin streaming the record so that automatically counts as a monthly listener.  However in order for it to count as a “stream”, they would need to listen to it for 30 seconds or more, That part we can not guarantee.  There’s no way to guarantee people will listen to it for 30 seconds or more.  Any company that guarantees you streams, stay away from.  That’s how you know what’s organic and not organic.  

  • We accept all genres of music.  From Indie Rock to Electronic Dance, Country to Mainstream Pop, we’ve worked numerous campaigns and we’re familiar with the all the markets.  You have the option to choose your targeted artists who match your genre.

  • YES!  All of our campaigns will produce an increase in monthly listeners.

    We can go over expectations individually through your consultation.

  • A targeted campaign is where we can place the ads with tags to target.

    For example, if your song sounds like Taylor Swift, The Chainsmokers, Drake or whoever, we can tag those artists so that users who are already streaming those artists are more likely to engage with your ad. We always recommend Targeted campaigns if you’re looking for followers, saves and people to stick around to check out new releases in the future.

  • All of our campaigns bring in real streams and real listeners.  Depending on the campaign you select determines the estimated amount of streams that you would receive. For example, our starter campaigns generally bring in an estimate of 15,000 - 30,000 streams but please Keep in mind that results may vary based on many different factors. We can go over expectations individually through your consultation.

  • There is no way to guarantee that your music will be picked up by Spotify’s curated playlists.  Most of our campaigns do trigger Spotify’s algorithm and we’ve seen numerous singles get picked up by Discover Weekly and Release Radar.  We also have had numerous records placed on New Music Friday as well as Top Spotify owned playlists.  Again, there is no guarantee for those placements.  Usually we know what works after reviewing your submission so don’t hesitate to consult with us before you book a campaign. 

  • Yes!  We run campaigns every week for new releases and old releases.  

    What’s old to you is brand new to a new listener.  Just because the record has been out doesn’t mean it can’t be promoted.  We have had a ton of success with past releases.

  • We’ve made the process to being a campaign super easy.

  • We offer numerous campaigns for all various streaming platforms however our most popular are the Spotify campaigns. If you’re interested in another platform, feel free to contact us through here and we’d be glad to discuss your goals and vision.
