Update – since doing this test, I've actually launched my own "playlisting" service: <a href="https://twostorymedia.com/spotify-playlist-promotion/">https://twostorymedia.com/spotify-playlist-promotion/</a><br><br>It's not traditional playlisting; we don't pitch your music to curators. Instead, we run Meta ads in our own account to a playlist you've built. This has become my favorite form of playlisting, because it puts your music in the perfect context and has a longer-term benefit. You can totally do this yourself (it's not hard and it's cheaper), and I'd honestly recommend most of you do. But this is for artists who want to grow their own playlist while not bothering at all about Meta.

This is AMAZING. Thank you so so much!!! More of these videos please. You're doing a great job for indie artists. Is it possible to do a similar video on companies that run ads for you? Like SmartNoise etc.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmGEKltAsOE&t=1372">22:52</a> I don't need specific breakdowns but if you could make a video like this like once a year reviewing all the relevant Playlist Promotion companies that would be dope
