Music marketing for independent artists
Sonist runs conversion campaigns on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube that send real fans to your music. Priced by ad spend, with the markup shown. No stream guarantees, no bots, no mystery.
Founded by a working artist. Every campaign is built by people who release music too.
Pick a campaign
Each package is priced by how much goes to ads. What we keep covers creative, targeting, setup and daily optimization. Larger budget or a longer plan? Apply for the Partner Program.
Instagram and Facebook conversion campaigns that send listeners to your song, EP, album or playlist. From $950.
Your music video placed in feeds, search and suggested videos for fans of similar artists. From $300.
Brand consulting and artist development for artists who want a plan, not just a campaign. Sessions and monthly programs.
Why ads, not playlists
A listener who finds you through an ad and saves the song keeps streaming after the budget is gone.
Playlist placements spike and vanish. Conversion campaigns build saves, playlist adds and followers, which is what the algorithm rewards. Most of the streams from a campaign arrive after it ends.
How it works
Order a package, send the audio, artwork and link. We listen within two business days. If it’s not a fit, you are not charged.
We build the creatives and landing page, warm the audience, test several ad sets, kill the losers early and scale the winners.
You get a dashboard link with page views, conversions, platform split and countries, plus a report when the budget is spent.
By artists, for artists
Sonist was started by Sebastian Rivera, a Los Angeles recording artist and producer who learned paid promotion by promoting his own releases and then his own touring acts. The team is artists, producers and editors, not a sales floor.
Questions
Pick a package, send us your track, artwork and links. We review it, build the ad creatives and landing page, and run the campaign in our ad account so you need nothing set up. You get a dashboard link and a report at the end.
When you order we only place an authorization hold on your card. We listen to the song first. If we approve it we capture the payment and start building. If we don’t think we can get you a result, we release the hold and you are never charged. Holds expire on their own after seven days.
No. We only take songs we believe we can promote well. A song can be declined for mix quality, lyric content that ad platforms reject, or a niche with no usable targeting. If we decline, you are not charged and we will usually tell you why.
No, and anyone who does is either buying bots or guessing. We estimate conversions per package from past campaigns and show you the numbers as they come in. The same $500 has produced 1,000 streams and 500,000 streams depending on the song.
That is the Partner Program: your accounts or ours, calls, custom strategy, and better rates at scale. Apply and we will get back to you within a business day.
