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 allowed us to iterate in real-time, locking in an impressively low Cost Per Click of $0.13. That kept the final cost per pre-save between $0.30 and $0.50.
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.
Not to mention thousands of fans who opted into email / newsletter opportunities.
