Sound familiar?

You're doing everything right. Nothing moves.

  • Release dayThen silence.Day 1Day 3Day 14

    Six months of work. Dead in 72 hours.

    You refresh Spotify for Artists every hour. Nothing comes.

  • Paid a curator. Got bots and a warning.

  • A nice PDF. Still no new listeners.

  • The influencer post got views. Zero saves.

  • You'd rather write songs than learn Ads Manager.

Why me

I've been exactly where you are.

  1. Playlist pitching

    Bot streams, flagged tracks, nothing that lasted longer than a week.

  2. Agencies

    Great decks, monthly reports, no new listeners.

  3. Influencers

    Views, likes, and not a single saved song.

  4. So I figured it out myself

    I ran my own Meta ads and tested hundreds of creatives. I built PlayLift to see exactly which ad turns into which listener. And I learned what makes Spotify's algorithm pick a song up.

  5. Twelve months later

    From 149K to 1.9 million listeners a month. Now I do the same for artists who are where I was.

No bullshit

Real listeners or nothing.

What we don't do

  • Bots, click farms or fake engagement
  • Pay-for-playlist placements
  • Anything that puts your Spotify account at risk
  • Promises of guaranteed streams

What we do

  • Meta ads that reach real music fans in Tier 1 markets
  • Ads run in your own ad account. You see every cent.
  • Target: under 20 cents per real listener, all in
  • Weekly updates in plain English, straight from me

FAQ

Fair questions.

Do I need a big budget?

No. The Song Check starts at €249 including ad spend. We only scale once the numbers say it's worth it.

Is this safe for my Spotify account?

Yes. Every listener comes from a real person clicking a real ad. No bots, no playlist deals, nothing Spotify penalizes.

Which genres do you work with?

Melodic, progressive, dance and cinematic music. That's where we know the audience inside out. If we can't help your genre, we'll say so.

Whose ad account is it?

Yours. We get partner access, you keep full control and see every cent in real time.

What if my song isn't ready?

Then the Song Check tells us, and I'll tell you straight. Better to know after €249 than after €5,000.
