Custom Segment: "XKYLAR Similar Artists"
Charli XCX Miss Madeline Kim Petras The Dare Slayyyter Princess Superstar

This campaign targeted a custom lookalike-artist segment built around the hyperpop/electroclash lane XKYLAR sits in. Female viewers outpaced male more than 2:1 — confirming the brat-pop audience is responding.

Key Takeaways What This Campaign Proved
01 Two formats, two jobs — both working

Video delivers views at $0.031 CPV, while Demand Gen drove the bulk of impressions and led the charge on subscriber growth. Keep both in the mix.

02 Real halo effect on "Parties In LA"

The promoted video went from 3.2K to 8.7K views in a week, with +800 subscriber growth — paid spend is translating directly into organic momentum.

03 Custom artist-lookalike targeting works

The "similar artists" segment (Charli XCX, Slayyyter, Kim Petras, etc.) drove a 2:1 female-skewed audience — the brat-pop crowd is engaging exactly as hoped.

04 Reach extends past the core demo

While 25–34 leads, meaningful view volume from 35–44, 18–24, and even 65+ suggests room to test broader age targeting without losing efficiency.
