Managed Spotify, Meta and YouTube campaigns and social media strategy - built around your release schedule by specialists who understand music, not just algorithms.
Most independent artists approach digital marketing the same way: boost a post, run a Spotify campaign, see what happens. Sometimes it works. More often it wastes budget on the wrong audience at the wrong time, and the artist concludes that ads don't work for music.
Digital marketing for music is different from digital marketing for anything else. The audience you're trying to reach makes decisions based on mood, moment and discovery, not price comparison or product research.
Getting in front of the right person at the right time with the right creative is a specialist discipline. It requires people who understand both the platforms and the music. And before any campaign runs, the strategy behind it needs to be right, the brand voice, the content direction, the release narrative and the platform approach that gives paid activity the best possible chance of working.
At Blinding Talent, we offer both. A social media strategy service that builds the framework your marketing needs to work, and managed campaigns across Spotify, Meta, TikTok and YouTube that execute against it. Whether you need one or both, everything is built around your release schedule, your existing audience and your specific growth ambitions, and managed actively from build to close by specialists with real music industry experience. We don't automate, outsource or apply generic templates.
Digital marketing works best when
Music ready to release or a release planned in the next 60 days. Campaigns need something to drive people to.
Even a small, engaged following gives our campaigns a starting point. We're here to accelerate your fan growth.
Be ready to invest consistently, not one-off. Artists who see the best results treat digital marketing as an ongoing part of their career.
Social media strategy for independent artists who know they need a better social presence but don't know where to start, or who have been posting without a clear direction and aren't seeing results.

We build the strategy, the brand voice, the content framework and the release calendar, and coach you on how to bring it to life yourself.

If you're also thinking about the bigger picture - brand identity, release strategy, long-term positioning - our Artist Management & Development service works alongside digital campaigns to give you both the strategy and the execution.
Social media strategy consultancy for musicians is a service that builds the strategic framework behind an artist's social media presence, covering brand voice, content direction, platform strategy, narrative, release planning and content ideas, without executing or managing the accounts directly.
Blinding Talent's social media strategy service runs on a quarterly retainer at £1,800 per quarter, with fortnightly or weekly sessions, AI-assisted call notes and monthly monitoring and reporting. It is designed for independent artists who want a clear, consistent social media strategy but want to retain full control of their own accounts and content.
Social media management is a done-for-you service where an agency creates and posts content on your behalf. Social media strategy is a consultancy service where you work with an expert to build the strategic framework - brand voice, content direction, platform strategy and release planning - and then execute it yourself.
Blinding Talent offers social media strategy at £1,800 per quarter. We build the strategy, coach you on how to bring it to life and monitor your channels monthly, you retain full control of your accounts and content.
No minimum threshold - but we do need something to build from. An artist with 500 genuinely engaged followers and a strong release plan will get better results from our campaigns than an artist with 50,000 inactive followers and nothing new coming.
What matters is the quality of your existing audience and the readiness of your release, not the size of your numbers.
It depends on the service and the release. Spotify Growth campaigns are typically built around a release window - pitching starts 4 weeks before release and the campaign runs for 6 to 8 weeks post-release.
Fan Growth Advertising campaigns run for a minimum of 3 months to allow for proper testing, optimisation and results.
YouTube Growth campaigns are ongoing by nature. We'll be specific about timelines on the strategy call.
It depends on the campaign. For Spotify Growth and YouTube Growth, advertising spend is included in our fee - this keeps the campaign running consistently without you needing to manage separate platform budgets.
For Fan Growth Advertising, ad spend is billed separately and reported transparently. The fee covers everything else - campaign build, creative strategy, audience targeting, active management and reporting.
What goes to the platform is agreed with you upfront, and you have full visibility of where every pound goes.
We can work on a single campaign basis - a release campaign for a specific single or project, for example. But the artists who see the strongest long-term results are those who treat digital marketing as an ongoing part of their career rather than a one-off experiment.
We'll be honest on the strategy call about what makes sense for where you are right now.
