Spotify Ad Campaigns that Actually Grow Real Listeners

After spending over $50,000 on ads and generating 20 million+ Spotify streams for my own music and playlists, I’ve learned exactly what works and what doesn’t.


Now, I use those same systems to grow other artists and labels.

The Problem

Most artists are wasting money on ads that don’t convert.

You can throw $500 at Facebook and hope for the best, or you can use a system built by an artist who’s already tested every variable.


I’ve run hundreds of campaigns, tested tens of thousands in ad spend, and built playlists with millions of streams.
This isn’t theory - it’s proven data from the inside.

Case Studies
Real results. Real campaigns.

1. Playlist - Dark & Beautiful Ambient Dreamscapes

Key Stats

  • 543,000+ streams generated (last 12 months)
  • 15,207 saves (very high-intent listeners)
  • Launch date: September 2024
  • 1/3–1/2 of playlist streams come from my own tracks

Why This Matters for YOUR Music

Running ads to a playlist that includes your own songs turns it into a 24/7 growth engine for your whole catalog.

Here’s what happens:

  • The algorithm links your songs with other strong tracks
  • The playlist drives passive streams long after ads stop
  • Multiple songs in the playlist = much higher stream-to-listener ratio
  • Strong playlist engagement boosts your entire catalog

The Catalog Effect

Listeners who saved this playlist generated an average of 46 total streams per listener across my catalog in 12 months. (For context: 4+ is considered strong.)

Playlist listeners return naturally, explore more of your tracks, and keep streaming without needing constant ads.


2. Eleftherios - "Sweden" (Ambient Rework)

  • Ad Spend: $1,480 USD
  • Conversions: 7,281
  • Campaign Length: 14 days
  • Streams During Campaign: 87,000
  • Current Streams: 630,000+
  • Saves: 8,812
  • Playlist Adds: 8,879

What We Did

  • Ran a 14-day Meta conversion campaign
  • Used 18 high-intent video creatives
  • Optimised for saves + listener retention
  • Turned ads off once the algorithm kicked in

Long-Term Impact
After ads ended on May 13, the track kept growing through Spotify Radio - exactly what we built it for. Most streams happened after the campaign, driven purely by algorithmic traction.


The release now sits at 630,000+ streams, holding ~2,000 daily streams, and is on pace to hit 1 million.
This is the result of real listeners feeding Spotify’s algorithm, not artificial playlists.
