How to use the un:hurd Ad Builder

Unleash your music’s potential with automated social ads.

The un:hurd Ad Builder is your direct line to new fans. We’ve stripped away the complexity of traditional ad managers, allowing you to launch high-performing campaigns across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, Spotify and more directly from your un:hurd dashboard.

To get started, head to the Social Ads tab in your app and select Book Ad.

1. Define Your Goal and Content

Every great campaign starts with a clear objective. What do you want to achieve today?

  • Boost Streams: Send fans directly to your latest release on Spotify or Apple Music.

  • Grow Your Following: Drive traffic to your Instagram or TikTok profile.

  • Ignite a Video: Get more eyes on your latest YouTube music video.

  • Owned Audience: Direct fans to your un:hurd Fan Hub or custom landing page.

Once you’ve picked your content, select your specific Campaign Objective. Whether it’s "Profile Visits" or "Link Clicks," we’ll optimise the delivery to match your goal.

2. Craft Your Creative

Now for the fun part. You don’t need to be a designer to create a pro-level ad.

  • Sync your accounts: Connect your Facebook or YouTube to promote an existing post that’s already gaining traction. You don’t need to connect to your own ad accounts.

  • Upload Fresh: Upload your video or artwork directly into the builder.

  • Landing Page: Search for your track to automatically pull in the cover art and metadata for your ad’s dedicated landing page.

3. Target Your Future Fans

Don’t waste your budget on people who won’t "get" your sound. We use your data to help you find the right ears.

  • Simplified: Let our algorithm do the heavy lifting based on your genre.

  • Custom: Take the wheel and filter by location, age, and specific artist interests (e.g., "Fans of [Similar Artist]").

4. Set Your Budget & Launch

You’re in total control of the spend. Set a budget that feels right for your current stage—campaigns can start from as little as $100.

Check the Estimated Results to see a forecast of your reach and clicks. This helps you understand the impact before you commit. When you’re ready, hit ‘Launch Campaign.’ Our team and partners at Base for Music will review and have your ad live within 48 hours.

5. Track Your Growth

Once your ad is out in the wild, the data starts rolling in. For now, you won’t see your ad in the un:hurd Dashboard for this first version (coming soon though).

Where can I see my Ad Performance?

You’ll receive an email with a link to your Live Performance Report. The email subject line will be ‘Your campaign is currently under review’ and you click the ‘Consult your reporting’ button (see below):

If you need any support, use the contact email in the email provider to speak directly to our friends at Base for Music. Alternatively you can contact team@baseformusic.fr and reference your ad booking campaign order reference ‘B4M-XXXX’

Watch your reach grow and see exactly which demographics are vibing with your music. Note: Data can take 24–48 hours to populate, so if it looks quiet at first, don't sweat it—the momentum is building!
