DIGITAL MARKETING SHOULDN'T BE OUT OF REACH for musicians.
So we built something that isn’t.
Starter Ads is our most accessible campaign - a professionally built, data-driven Meta Ads campaign at a price point that works for artists at the start of their journey.
The same ads setup we use across all our packages. The same targeting approach. The same campaign infrastructure. Designed to get you on the digital marketing ladder and start building an audience that's genuinely yours.

Your campaign starts here
Step 2
We Build and Launch
Our team builds and launches your campaign professionally - the same targeting approach and ad account infrastructure we use across all our packages. No corners cut on the setup. Your ads go live and run for 6 weeks.
Professionally built from day one
Step 3
Your Wrap-Up Report
At the end of 6 weeks you receive a full Wrap-Up Report - what worked, what the data tells you about your audience, and what to focus on next. A genuine asset for every campaign you run going forward.

Real Campaign Result

Streams per day in a single campaign. This artist started from zero - the same campaign infrastructure that powered this result is exactly what runs in Starter Ads.
Results vary by artist, audience, and ad spend. This example reflects a higher ad budget than Starter Ads - but the system is identical.

First Campaign? You May Need The Setup.
The essential first step for any new meta ads campaign…
The Setup is required for first-time campaigns and is a one-time only requirement. It’s essential to ensure your account is optimised correctly for running any Paid Ads campaign so that you make the most of your budget. When your account is not setup correctly, you risk wasting Ad Spend, so this is an essential service.
Everything configured. Nothing missed.

What exactly is the Ads Blueprint document?
It's our full internal guide to running Meta Ads campaigns that actually deliver - the same document our team uses. It covers what to post, how to structure your content around a campaign, what the algorithm responds to, and how to make the most of the ad spend you're putting in. It's not a generic PDF. It's specific, practical, and built around what we've learned across 500+ artist campaigns.
What does the Wrap-Up Report include?
At the end of your 6 weeks you receive a full breakdown of campaign performance - saves, follows, engagement rates, audience data, what worked and what to do differently next time. It's a genuine strategic asset. Every campaign you run after this one will be better because of the data you collect in this one.
How is this different from Stream Surge or Ads Only?
The ad setup and targeting infrastructure is identical across all our packages. The difference is in the level of ongoing support and communication. Stream Surge and Ads Only include weekly check-ins, organic strategy meetings, and direct access to your campaign manager throughout. Starter Ads is built around the same system but with a leaner process - which is how we're able to offer it at this price. If you want that closer involvement, Ads Only starts at £579.
Can I upgrade to a bigger package later?
Yes - and many artists do exactly that. Starter Ads is designed as a genuine starting point. The audience data and campaign learnings you build here carry directly into any future campaign you run with us. Artists who step up to Ads Only or Stream Surge after a Starter Ads campaign hit the ground running because the groundwork is already done.
Do I need The Setup if I've run ads before?
Not necessarily. If your Meta Ads Manager account is already active, your Pixel is installed and firing correctly, and your Conversions API is set up - you're good to go. If you're not sure, just mention it when you enquire and we'll check everything before your campaign starts. The Setup is only ever charged once, so if you've had it done with a previous campaign you won't need it again.
What is the Organic Strategy Session add-on?
A 30-minute focused session where we build a content plan specifically around your campaign. We research your genre, audience, and release before the call so we're not starting from scratch. You come away with a clear picture of what to post, when, and why - so your organic activity supports your ads rather than working against them. It's the piece that's missing from Starter Ads by default, and the single most effective add-on for improving your results.
How long does it take to get started?
Once you register your interest and we've had a brief conversation to confirm your release details, we can typically have your campaign set up and ready to launch within 5-7 working days. If you need The Setup, add 2-3 working days for that. We'll always confirm the exact timeline with you before anything goes live.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. We can split your investment over two months. Just mention it when you enquire and we'll set that up for you. The ad spend portion is managed separately through your own budget - you're always in full control of that.
