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.
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. 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.
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.
