Do conversion campaigns actually work?

We have to preface this by saying that the focus of this course is on learning a skill rather than achieving a specific outcome. That said, well-run conversion campaigns are extremely effective at building active listenership. This is because people engage directly with your videos and take active steps to listen to your music. As a result, listeners are much more likely to save your songs, add them to playlists, and become fans. We love fans!

Active listening is also particularly effective at triggering algorithmic playlists that will push your music even further, and if people continue to engage on algorithmic playlists... this is how songs blow up! Algorithmic playlists are now the leading form of discovery on Spotify.

As an example, Marmalade Mountain (Zack's band) save rates during album-based conversion campaigns are historically 50-150%, while background save rates are ~1-10%.

*The budget for the campaign shown above was $30/day, but budgets range drastically depending on many factors discussed in the course!

FAQ

Q: Can I market music that came out a while ago?

A: YES! We've seen everything from brand new releases to albums from several years ago perform well in Spotify Conversion Campaigns.

Q: Will my ad be successful?

A: The goal of this course is to help you develop the skillset to create, manage, and optimize your own campaigns, but the success of your work depends on the quality of your creative (the ad itself), the quality of the music, targeting, the zeitgeist, competition, and too many things outside of our control!

Q: Will we talk about the ALGORITHM?

A: Hellllll ya.

Q: What technical skills do I need for this workshop?
