Great music deserves
to be discovered.

Meta Ads & Promotion

Reaching the right listeners is about more than simply running an advertisement. It's about connecting your music with people who genuinely want to hear it.

We develop targeted Meta advertising campaigns designed to introduce your music to potential fans, encourage meaningful Spotify engagement and support long-term audience growth.

01 / What we do

Every campaign has a purpose.

From understanding your sound and audience to developing campaign creative and refining performance, we manage the process with a focus on measurable engagement.

01 / STRATEGY

Campaign Planning

We review your release, identify promotional objectives and develop a campaign strategy around your music, budget and audience.

02 / TARGETING

Audience Discovery

Genre-relevant interests, artist comparisons, geographical markets and audience testing to help identify potential new listeners.

03 / CREATIVE

Advertising Creative

Engaging short-form video, music excerpts and promotional visuals designed to capture attention and communicate your artist identity.

04 / OPTIMISATION

Campaign Management

Launching campaigns, testing creative and audiences, reviewing performance and refining advertising delivery.

05 / ENGAGEMENT

Spotify Audience Growth

Campaigns designed to encourage genuine listening, saves, playlist additions and repeat engagement rather than simply generating clicks.

06 / ANALYSIS

Performance Reporting

Reviewing advertising results alongside available Spotify for Artists data to understand audience behaviour and identify opportunities for improvement.

02 / Our approach

More than clicks.
Real listeners.

Advertising can introduce your music to new audiences, but genuine engagement is what makes that discovery valuable.

Our approach focuses on finding listeners who connect with your sound, rather than chasing inflated numbers that offer little long-term value.

  • Genre-relevant audience targeting
  • Geographical market testing
  • Creative development and testing
  • Campaign monitoring and refinement
  • Spotify listener and save analysis
  • Transparent performance reporting

05 / Beyond advertising

The goal is more
than the campaign.

A well-targeted campaign can help introduce your music to listeners who are more likely to engage.

Saves, repeat listening and playlist activity can contribute to the signals Spotify uses to understand listener preferences.

We monitor available discovery sources, including Radio, Mixes and Discover Weekly, to understand whether momentum develops alongside the campaign.

The aim isn't simply to buy attention. It's to introduce your music to people who might keep listening long after the advertising stops.

Spotify's recommendation systems are independently operated. Advertising does not guarantee algorithmic placement, editorial playlist inclusion or sustained streaming growth.

06 / Who it's for

Independent music.
Serious ambition.

Whether you're releasing your first single or developing an established catalogue, promotion should reflect where you are and what you want to achieve.

01 / NEW RELEASES

Single & Album Campaigns

Introduce new music to relevant listeners with a campaign built around your release and audience.

02 / BACK CATALOGUE

Catalogue Discovery

Reintroduce existing tracks with strong audience potential through focused promotional testing.

03 / ARTIST DEVELOPMENT

Audience Building

Develop a more consistent promotional approach across multiple releases and campaigns.

04 / CAMPAIGN REVIEW

Existing Campaigns

Review current advertising performance and identify opportunities to improve creative, targeting and strategy.

07 / Behind the campaigns

Built by an artist.
For artists.

As the artist behind Timothy and the Apocalypse and The Time Meddler, I've invested in developing and testing promotional campaigns for my own releases.

Combined with more than 30 years in visual design, I bring together music production, creative direction, advertising experience and a practical understanding of independent artist development.
