Ad Campaigns are DropTrack's paid advertising feature that puts your music in front of new listeners. You set a budget, choose a track or artist profile, and DropTrack handles campaign setup, creative generation, targeting, submission to the ad network, and performance reporting.
What Ad Campaigns Do
An ad campaign runs your music across feed, story, reels, and explore-style placements. Listeners can tap through to hear your music on Spotify. You control budget and timeline; DropTrack handles the technical setup and automation.
Every campaign includes:
- Automatic ad creatives - images and video variants generated from album artwork (or use AI/upload your own).
- Smart targeting - genre-aware audience profiles (age, countries, placements) selected automatically.
- Campaign automation - budget monitoring, status sync, and daily performance ingestion.
- Real-time analytics - impressions, clicks, CTR, spend, and creative performance rankings.
Where Ads Run
Ads are delivered across mobile and feed-based placements supported by our ad network integration. The exact placement mix depends on your campaign targeting and genre profile.
What You Need to Start
