How to launch a campaign ?
Launching a campaign is a three-step process on the platform.

Each proposed ad format is completed by a description allowing you to identify the objective of this format. The second step is targeting.

Why is engagement the #1 goal of our platform ?
The objective of our platform is to allow you to get engagement on your music content through advertising campaigns for two reasons. The first is that engagement is now the engine of all algorithmic recommendations proposed by platforms: Youtube, Spotify, TikTok etc. The second is that engagement allows you to get new fans who will be interested in your music and follow your project in the long run. Once your campaign is over and the engagement obtained, it allows you to get visibility on the long term thanks to automatic recommendations and your new fans.
What is the difference with other music promotion services ?
There are many ways to promote your music, like with influencers, press relations or digital marketing tools, we are part of the latter category. However there are a lot of fraudulent services that offer solutions to increase your number of streams, views or followers. These services bring false results because they are provided through the purchase from click farms. In addition to bringing you false statistics, these solutions do not get any engagement because they are not real listeners. This causes the platforms to consider your content as unattractive and thus prevents you from integrating automatic recommendations. We do the opposite with our platform, we seek to reach real listeners interested in your music and get them to engage with your music through advertising campaigns. To do this, all our campaigns are generated on the official advertising platforms: Google Ads, Spotify Ad Studio, Facebook Business, Snapchat for Business and TikTok for Business.
What are the guarantees provided by our platform? ?
Our platform allows you to reach new audiences, we guarantee the number of people you will reach with your advertising campaign. When estimating your campaign, the number of people is indicated according to your budget. The results generated by a campaign are linked to different factors such as the quality of the content or the interest of the listeners for the music proposed. We can therefore not guarantee any minimum number of views, streams or followers.
How does our billing system work ?
