Key Takeaways What This Campaign Proved
01 Exceptional cost-efficiency across both platforms

$1.87 CPM on YouTube and $0.33 per profile visit on Instagram are well below industry benchmarks for music campaigns. Every dollar was working hard.

02 YouTube halo effect: 10× organic video growth

Paid impressions on Perfect Storm seeded an organic surge — the video went from 2.4k to 24k+ views. Earned media on top of paid, not instead of it.

03 Fresh audience — zero saturation

Average Instagram ad frequency of 1.35 confirms the target audience hasn't been overexposed. The creative is still hitting. Prime candidate for scaling.

04 Profile visits building a long-term pipeline

605 direct profile visits shift top-of-funnel awareness into mid-funnel consideration — fans who actively sought out the band after seeing the ad.

05 Strong foundation for retargeting

The warm audience built here is ready for retargeting around merch, vinyl pre-orders, and ticket sales. The groundwork is laid.

Recommended next step

Keep the Instagram campaign running at $5–10/day. Set up pixel tracking and try getting some merch sales, vinyl pre-orders, ticket sales, etc. with retargeting — all the new profile visitors and existing engagers. We've bought the data, now let's monetize it.
