How it worked
We implemented a strategic, tiered budget allocation, initially focusing on high-conversion Tier 1 markets before expanding to Tier 2 locations to lower the blended cost-per-acquisition without sacrificing quality.
Continuous A/B testing of ad copy and visuals let us adjust as results came in, and cost per click held at $0.13.
The acquisition of 1,480 pre-saves and 791 "Future Saves" created a dual benefit: it provided a powerful initial signal to Spotify and simultaneously built a proprietary audience asset.
