How do I set up an ad campaign and use BeatStars Promote in the Studio App?

Overview

In this article, you will learn how to set up an ad campaign and use BeatStars Promote in the BeatStars Studio app. Please see the following instructions.

Step-by-step Guide

1. Log into your BeatStars account on the BeatStars Studio app.

2. Visit the Promote tab in the bottom navigation bar.

   

3. Tap the “Create Campaign” button on the screen to get started. If you already have campaigns running, you can select the “+” button from the navigation bar at the bottom.

   

4. Name your campaign.

   

5. Select what you would like to promote.

   

6. Once selected, tap the “Next” button.

   

7. Set the daily budget you would like to spend on your campaign by either moving the slider or inputting the value manually.

   

8. Select a bid amount based on what you are willing to spend per CPM (1000 impressions). For more information on how bidding works, please see the following article: How Does Bidding Work On Promote

   

9. Set targeting settings for your campaign.

   1. "Global Audience" will automatically target a wider audience for your ad.

      

   2. Creating a custom audience will allow you to choose between targeting Artists, Producers, or both, and select up to 3 keywords, 3 locations, or both in order to define where your ad is more likely to get shown.

      

      Targeting Artists will increase the likelihood of your ad reaching artists in the marketplace, while targeting Producers will focus your ad on producers. Selecting both allows you to reach a broader audience. You can experiment with these combinations to find what works best for your specific goals.

10. Set a start date, time, and duration for your campaign.

    

    • The default start date will be the day your campaign is set-up.
    • The duration will default to 7 days. You can select anywhere between 1 and 30 days to run your campaign if you select the end date.
    • You can also set a start time for the campaign (the default is current time). The end time on the end date will always be the same as the start time.
    • Remember to check your campaign overview to see how much you will be charged up front for the campaign.
    • You can also set your campaign to run continuously if you want to begin and pause your ad manually.
    • You can select a start date in the future if you would like to schedule your campaign in advance.

    Important note

    Campaigns are now invoiced immediately upon creation. For campaigns with a fixed start and end date, you must pay the cost up front. For continuous campaigns, you will be invoiced your daily budget on a daily basis. If you want to account for your total spend, running a continuous campaign will give you the most flexibility based on when you start and stop your campaigns manually.

11. Enter your billing details if they are not already set.

    

12. Select or add a payment method.

    

13. Thoroughly review the campaign details and campaign overview.

    

14. Click the "Create campaign" button once you approve all of the settings.
