Creating an ad campaign
Step-by-step guide to launching your first Smart Ads campaign.

The 5-step wizard
Creating a campaign follows a guided wizard. Each step takes about 30 seconds.
Step 1: Pick your song
Choose which release to promote. Your full discography is listed with album art and release dates. You can also promote a playlist.
Filter releases by name if you have a large catalog.
Step 2: Budget and targeting
Choose your budget tier ($99 to $500). NotNoise automatically builds your audience based on genre signals, comparable artists, and listener geography. You can adjust the target countries if you want to focus on specific markets.
Step 3: Choose your vibe
Select the visual mood for your ad. NotNoise offers templates that match different genres and aesthetics.
Step 4: Customize your ad
Review and edit your ad creative. You can upload your own video/image or use the auto-generated options. Add text overlay if needed.
Step 5: Review and pay
See a summary of your campaign: song, budget, targeting, creative, and estimated results. Confirm payment and your campaign goes live.
After launch
Track your campaign performance from the Smart Ads dashboard. You'll see impressions, link clicks, estimated streams, reach, and cost per stream in real-time.
