Why use Ad Builder?

In order to build a loyal audience for your music, you need to lead listeners on a journey from AWARENESS to CURIOSITY to ENJOYMENT.

Awareness has to come first — there’s no way to skip that step — and it often takes multiple impressions to get someone’s attention. So while we WANT new fans, what we first NEED is reach. Then you build curiosity with a message that makes people want to click. From there, it all comes down to your music!

Ad Builder CAN help you build awareness and curiosity for your music via targeted ads on premium websites where fans of your genre are already hanging out.

With Ad Builder, you can effectively and affordably announce your latest single, album, video, or live stream by placing banner ads on:

  • Rolling Stone
  • Pitchfork
  • Complex
  • Billboard
  • MTV
  • NME
  • Dancing Astronaut
  • EDM.com
  • Consequence Of Sound
  • Brooklyn Vegan
  • Stereogum
  • And many more

It’s difficult for an independent artist to place ads on these premium websites via Google AdWords, Facebook, Instagram, or other advertising solutions. Ad Builder makes it not only possible, but simple and affordable for independent musicians on a budget.
