Strategy

A multi-geo Google/YouTube advertising strategy, spanning September 30th - October 25th achieved 4.3M+ total video views and a 999%+ increase in views over the previous period, establishing the music video as a viral asset directly after launch.

Our methodology centered on aggressively spreading the budget across multiple interest targets and Tier 1 & Tier 2 geographics to maximize reach.

The core strategy involved using the music video itself as the primary ad creative, supplemented by 20-second edits to pull in users and optimize for a low Cost Per View of $0.01 - $0.03. This granular approach resulted in 24K clicks , 63K+ video likes , and 13K playlist additions , successfully increasing engagement directly after launch and optimizing for repeat viewers.
