What types of campaigns can I run with catapult°?

Whether you're aiming to skyrocket your streams on Spotify and Apple Music, amplify video views on YouTube, enhance your TikTok presence, or collaborate with influencers for maximum impact, our comprehensive suite of services is designed to authentically grow your audience.

We kick-off our dynamic questionnaire by asking you what is the type of content that you'd like to promote: a song or album based campaign, a video based campaign or a TikTok sound based campaign. When choosing a song/album campaign, you'll increase your streams on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, along with boosting monthly listeners, followers, and likes. Opting for a video-based campaign will elevate your YouTube video views, as well as your subscribers, likes, and comments.

In the case of a TikTok Sound-based campaign, you'll enhance creations with your sound, increase views and engagement on the platform, achieved through either advertising or influencer marketing campaigns.

What should be my campaign goal?

Your campaign goal will depend on the specific objectives and your desired outcomes. With catapult°, you can choose to:

Grow your Streams: catapult° the streams of your new song or album on the digital streaming platforms, like Spotify and Apple Music, through strategic use of social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, as well as targeted Spotify advertising, where you can reach your fans, fans of other artists or listeners of specific genres. Besides the growth of your streams, you will also increase your number of followers, monthly listeners and likes on the streaming platforms. No fake streams, no bots.

Grow your Video Views: catapult° the video views of your new video clip on YouTube, through highly effective advertising campaigns, reaching precisely targeted audiences. When you get more views, the YouTube algorithm will push your video out to more people. Additionally, we'll foster the growth of your channel, increasing subscribers, likes, and comments. No fake views bot-driven practices.

Grow your Video Creations on TikTok: catapult° your views, creations and engagement on TikTok using your own organic content and boosting it to your target audience - a very effective and unique way to advertise your music, reaching new audiences, inspiring trends, and building loyal communities. No fake profiles, nor accounts.

Use Influencers to Boost your Sound on TikTok: catapult° video creations with your sound on TikTok, partnering up with creators so they will post original videos with your music, to grow awareness, views, engagement and followers, and use their fanbase to increase your visibility. No fake accounts, no fake profiles, no fake followers.

Does catapult° access my social media accounts?

No. If you'd like to have your campaigns running directly from your own profiles - which is our recommendation -, you will  need to grant us an advertiser access, a permission so catapult° can use your Facebook Page and Instagram profile to run ads on your behalf, since you're the owner of these properties. Running ads directly from your own Facebook and Instagram account  provides a more direct and intimate connection with your audience, which can be crucial in the music industry where personal connections and fan engagement are highly valued. Granting catapult° permissions to your advertising account doesn't give us permission to log in as you or see things on your profile that you haven't shared with us. So don't worry!

If you prefer to not grant catapult° advertiser access, your campaign will be run by the catapult° social media profiles. It's important to note that providing catapult° permissions to your advertising account does not give us the ability to log in as you or access information on your profile that you haven't shared with us.

What are the minimum budgets?

The minimum budgets are the following: $300 for video based campaigns, $300 for song/ album campaigns, $300 for TikTok Ads and $1.500,00 for Influencer marketing campaigns.

Do I need to create my campaign assets?

No. We will generate all the necessary assets for your campaign based on the type of campaign and platforms you choose. We'll utilize the artist name, song/album name, and the official cover and video already published.

In what countries can my campaign run?

You can choose to run your campaign in any country or countries in the world. We just recommend that you take into account the priority markets for you, so if you're dealing with budget constraints, focusing on one or two key markets can lead to a more impactful campaign.

Can I grow my audience with a small budget? 

Absolutely yes.

With a small budget and constant investment, you can increase the retention of current fans and bring more and more fans to hear your music.  catapult° is the platform for indies and our core business is to bring artists to light.

Where are my ads going to be shown?

In a video-based campaign, your video ads will appear on YouTube before, during, or after a video that a user is watching. For a song or album-based campaign, your ads will be featured on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, as well as on Spotify in-platform, using the video formats available (stories and video takeover ads respectively), across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. In a TikTok sound campaign, your ads will be visible in TikTok users' feeds during an advertising campaign, or creators will incorporate your sound into their organic posts.

On which devices will my campaign be shown?

Our experienced team has insights into the devices that offer the highest chances of reaching your campaign goals, based on various different factors like your content, campaign type, targeting preferences, etc. Your ad will be optimized for visibility across all platforms, including Mobile, Desktop, Tablet, and even TV.

Where do the users go after clicking on my ad?

In a video-based campaign, users will watch your video ad, which appears while viewers watch another video.

For a song or album campaign, you can choose to drive your promotion exclusively to Spotify or extend it to all streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and others. In a TikTok Sound-based campaign, users will encounter your ad, allowing them to click the sound, artist's name, and music disc icon to visit the music page and use your sound in their videos. Alternatively, they can click on your profile photo, nickname, swipe left to go to the video owner's profile page, or click the '+' sign on the profile photo to follow the account. In an influencer marketing campaign, users will see the creator's video featuring your TikTok sound. They can click to go to the music page and use your sound in their videos.
