The Objective
Brand balance starts with streaming credibility. Here's the target.
Spotify Monthly Listeners
The strategy is straightforward: build a consistent 2K–5K monthly listener base on Spotify. Consistency is what signals credibility to algorithms, playlists, and industry contacts alike. A stable, engaged listener count carries far more weight than spikes that fade.
This isn't about inflated numbers — it's about building a real foundation that grows with momentum over time.

The Ad Strategy
Google Ads — two powerful formats working together.
Demand Gen Ads
Discovery & Awareness
Google's Demand Gen format places SHMY's music in front of highly relevant audiences across YouTube, Discover, and Gmail. These ads are designed to generate genuine interest and drive listeners to Spotify organically — reaching people before they even knew they were looking.
Search Ads
Intent-Based Targeting
Search ads capture people actively searching for music, artists, or genres that align with SHMY's sound. High intent, high conversion — when someone is already in discovery mode, we put SHMY directly in their path.
Geographic Approach
Smart targeting. Lower cost markets with high engagement — maximizing every dollar.
Brazil 🇧🇷
One of the world's most music-hungry markets. Brazilian listeners are deeply engaged with international artists — and ad costs here allow us to stretch the budget significantly further than US markets.
Argentina 🇦🇷
Argentina has a highly active Spotify user base with strong international music consumption. A culturally engaged audience that responds well to authentic, genre-forward artists.
USA 🇺🇸
The US market is absolutely on the roadmap. In the early stages, we prioritize cost-efficient markets to build real engagement first. US targeting can be layered in as the campaign scales.
Why South America First?
South American markets — particularly Brazil and Argentina — offer significantly lower cost-per-click rates while maintaining some of the highest music engagement rates globally. This means the same $150–$250 investment reaches a far larger, genuinely interested audience compared to US-only targeting. The goal is to build real monthly listener numbers efficiently, then use that social proof to fuel future growth in higher-cost markets.
Build the Base.
Own the Moment.
A consistent 2K–5K Spotify monthly listener count positions SHMY with real credibility. This campaign uses Google Demand Gen and Search Ads targeting Brazil and Argentina to build that number efficiently — with the USA ready as the natural next step.
