The campaign's success was rooted in a sophisticated, multi-pronged Meta ads strategy designed to manage and optimize advertising across Promoting Sounds' diverse portfolio of playlists. By treating the entire ecosystem as a single, interconnected asset, we were able to drive unprecedented growth in both audience size and catalog engagement at a remarkably efficient cost.
Our strategy for the campaign release was designed to maximize the return on investment through a dynamic budget allocation strategy that divided the £3.4K spend across various audience segments and geographical tiers. We conducted continuous A/B testing on ad creatives and audience parameters for each distinct playlist, allowing us to identify the most cost-effective pathways to conversion. The process of residual optimization was fundamental to the success of obtaining a very low average Cost Per Click of only £0.05. In addition to that, a strong retargeting system was put in place by us to reach out to users who had already interacted with any of the label's ads or playlists. As a result of this, a powerful feedback loop was established and the listener retention was significantly increased, thus, driving deeper engagement across the catalog. This campaign is a perfect example of a best practice in record label marketing. They have also found that abandoning the previous practice of promoting each track separately and rather investing in the growth of their playlist ecosystem, Promoting Sounds has established a formidable, self-sustaining marketing engine. Period: 29,000 playlist saves and 70,000 new catalog streams in only 28 days, representing an investment that returns immediately and profoundly.
Achieved a monumental 387% increase in total listeners and a 267% increase in total streams across the board in just one month. The campaign generated over 29,400 playlist saves and 70K new catalog streams over 28 days, with a highly efficient £0.05 average cost per click.
The data from this one-month campaign highlights significant growth across all core metrics. We generated over 7.4 million ad impressions, leading to 29,000 new Spotify playlist followers and 15,000 new monthly listeners. The "3AM Sad Songs" playlist alone grew from 2K to 7K monthly listeners and jumped from #4 to the #1 top playlist position for the label. This strategic investment not only boosted immediate streaming numbers but also solidified Promoting Sounds' playlists as top-tier digital assets. The ability to drive substantial, cross-playlist growth demonstrates the power of a holistic marketing approach in building a dominant and profitable presence on Spotify.
