Cage Riot'sDigital advertising can significantly increase a music artist's fan base through various strategies:

Imagine the power of growth at your fingertips. Our ad campaigns are designed to skyrocket your DSP growth, organically cultivating your audience while simultaneously feeding Spotify's algorithm with high-quality data. This creates an unstoppable snowball effect, amplifying your success with each new release.

We do this by two means. One allows your targeted audience to see who you are by linking them to your socials and the opportunity to listen to your music. Some may follow you on Instagram, and work their way into becoming your fan, and some will click through directly to your song. 

​

​

Is this good? Yes, and here is why?

​

DSP editorial teams and third-party curators generally pay attention to your audience engagement across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Artists with show-and-prove marketing drivers increase their odds of placement, as engagement reflects fandom both online and off. 

​

Our approach is to develop careers beyond a single platform. Editorial teams are integrated into the overall strategy but are not relied on as the sole plan. Succeeding only occurs with a plan, so diversifying and taking control across multiple channels is the key. While playlisting is undoubtedly a powerful tool for music exposure, it cannot and should not be the only means of driving consumption.

​

  1. Targeted Advertising:

    • Demographics: Ads can be targeted based on age, gender, and location, ensuring they reach the artist's ideal audience.

    • Interests and Behaviors: Platforms like Facebook and Instagram allow for targeting based on users' interests and behaviors, such as music preferences and concert attendance.

  2.  Social Media Campaigns:

    • Engaging Content: Sharing music videos, behind-the-scenes content, and personal stories can attract new fans.

    • Influencer Partnerships: Collaborating with influencers or other artists can help reach their followers.

    • Hashtags and Trends: Using popular hashtags and participating in trending challenges can increase visibility.

  3. Streaming Platforms and Playlists:

    • Sponsored Ads: Running ads on platforms like Spotify or YouTube can introduce the artist's music to a wider audience.

    • Playlist Inclusion: Getting featured on popular playlists can drive streams and attract new listeners.

  4.  Search Engine Marketing (SEM):

    • Google Ads: Using Google Ads to promote music, upcoming shows, or the artist's website can drive traffic and new fans.

    • YouTube Ads: Pre-roll ads on YouTube videos can showcase the artist's music to viewers.

  5. Email Marketing:

    • Newsletters: Collecting emails through ads and sending regular updates can keep fans engaged and informed about new releases and events.

    • Exclusive Content: Offering exclusive content or early access to new music in exchange for email sign-ups can increase the fan base.

  6.  Contests and Giveaways:

    • Engagement: Running contests and giveaways through digital ads can incentivize people to follow the artist and share their content.

    • Data Collection: These activities can help collect valuable data about potential fans.

  7. Video Content:

    • Music Videos: Promoting music videos through YouTube or social media ads can attract viewers and convert them into fans.

    • Live Streams: Live streaming performances or Q&A sessions can create a personal connection with potential fans.

  8. Retargeting Ads:

    • Engagement: Retargeting ads can re-engage users who have previously interacted with the artist’s content but haven’t yet become fans.

    • Conversion: These ads can encourage actions like following on social media, streaming music, or attending concerts.

  9. Collaborations and Features:

    • Cross-Promotion: Collaborating with other artists and cross-promoting through ads can introduce the artist to new audiences.

    • Shared Fan Base: Featuring on other artists' tracks and using ads to promote these collaborations can attract their fans.
