Lite Services Frequently Asked Questions
When should I submit a Premium service request vs. an Lite service request?

If your campaign involves a multi-phase rollout, consider submitting a Premium service request. This includes campaigns that encompass multiple singles and/or lead up to an album release. A Premium service request offers a full-funnel, multi-phase approach to your advertising strategy. For more details, please discuss with your Relationship Manager.

Can I change an Lite campaign to a Premium Service campaign after it has begun?

If you decide to change your Lite Service campaign to a Premium Service simply request for your campaign to be paused and submit a Premium Service brief.

What is the correct amount of spend for my campaign?

The right amount of spend for your campaign depends on several factors, including your campaign goals, target audience, and the platforms you are using. It’s important to start with a budget that aligns with your overall marketing strategy and allows for platform testing and optimization. Please visit our Advertising Academy to learn more.

If you’re planning a campaign that requires a bespoke strategy, you can submit a Premium Service request. Our team of experts can help determine the right budgets and platforms for your needs. For more information about the minimum, please discuss with your Relationship Manager.

I want to run an ad on a platform or objective that’s not listed on Lite Services, what are my options?

Other platforms and objectives are currently only offered through our Premium Services. Please speak to your label manager if you have further questions.

What if I only want an OOH or print ad?

OOH and Print are part of our Premium Service offering. 

How do I know my campaign is being processed?

You will receive an email with a copy of your request and a confirmation from our team, detailing when and where your campaign will run. A second email will confirm that your campaign is live, and a third email will include a performance dashboard that automatically updates each day.

How long will it take for my campaign to go live?

Our processing time for timely campaigns is at least 2 business days. However, if you submit your campaign ahead of launch then it will go live on your desired start day.

What kind of creative should I use for my ads?

Choosing the right creative for your ads depends on several factors, including your target audience, the platform where you’re advertising, and your campaign goals. Visit our Advertising Academy’s section where we share creative best practices.

My video has improper content (not suitable for those below 18 years old), can I use it in an ad?

Although there are cases where adult content may be approved to run on certain platforms, we ask that you ensure the asset complies with the advertising policies of the platforms you are using before submitting your request. Many platforms have specific guidelines regarding age-restricted content. You can visit our Advertising Academy Ad Policy section to learn more.

What social profile can I use for advertising?

Ideally, the campaigns should run from the artist’s profile as this will appear more authentic and allow us to target the artist’s profile followers/engagers. However, if preferred, the campaign can also be run from the label’s profile. Regardless, proper access must be granted to the profile we run the ads from.

Visit our Advertising Academy section for instructions on how to connect your profiles to our advertising accounts.
