Spotify Playlisting Vs. Facebook Ads: Which Is Better For Musicians?

Watch our video guide below

A lot of artists wonder whether they should do Spotify playlisting or Facebook/Instagram ads to grow their music fanbase.

We’ll show the REAL pros and cons of each from the perspective of a company who’s spent millions of dollars advertising in both!

We’re a music marketing agency that has promoted about 15,000 artists so far, and this is one of the questions we get all the time, so we put together some helpful content that can show you what percentage of your marketing budget should go towards IG and Facebook ads, and what percentage towards Spotify playlisting.

Plus, if you want to see the difference between the ads you're running on social media now and what they can look like when professionals run them, you can apply for our Facebook & Instagram ads management!

At the very least, many artists will have us manage their ads for a couple months so they can see how ads should be properly ran, then you can take all that knowledge and use it on your future ads for life! 

This saves you a ton of time and money. Think about it. You're already spending money on your ads, but you don't even know if you're running them the best way possible!

We also have affordable packages available for artists on all promotions. That includes Spotify playlisting, YouTube, Apple Music, & TikTok. Just click the buttons to learn more.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
