What are the steps?
intellijend Artist Account Onboarding and Meta Ads Connection (Onboarding)
- 01
Create the agency master account on the Monthly Plan ($39.99/month) or Annual Plan ($24.99/month billed annually) and confirm the single included Artist Account slot before adding client work
The Annual Plan also bundles the Full Music Marketing Video Course and Monthly Ad Creative Packs, which the delivery team can reuse across client campaigns instead of commissioning creative per artist.
- 02
Invite up to 4 team members via the Share with 4 Team Members setting so a campaign strategist and a reporting analyst both have dashboard access
Keep the client off the seat list; the agency owns the account and the client receives exported summaries, which protects the retainer relationship.
- 03
Connect the client's Meta Ads account through the platform's Meta Ads integration and verify the ad account permissions resolve without errors
Document the permission scope requested at connection time so the same steps repeat cleanly for every artist the agency signs.
- 04
Link the client's Spotify artist profile and confirm the Artist Popularity Score and Track Popularity Score populate in the dashboard
These scores are the metrics Spotify for Artists does not expose, so a blank score panel means the profile link failed and must be reconnected before any campaign spend.
- 05
Launch the first campaign through the one-click campaign structure, uploading ad creative assets and setting the campaign budget at the artist level
The platform is built to launch an optimized campaign in under 60 seconds; treat the first launch as a pilot and hold budget small until daily action items confirm the algorithmic response.
- 06
Review the daily action items feed each morning for release timing and ad spend adjustment prompts, and log which prompts the agency acted on
Daily action items are the operational heartbeat of the retainer; an unread feed is the most common reason a client sees flat stream velocity.
- 07
Add each additional artist beyond the first at $12.50 per artist account and re-check the blended cost against the client retainer before signing the next act
At $39.99 base plus $12.50 per artist, a five-artist roster carries a fixed platform cost the agency must cover inside its managed service fee.
- 08
Export the monthly popularity score and stream velocity summary into the client report and schedule the next month's creative refresh
Pair the export with the Monthly Ad Creative Packs from the Annual Plan to keep creative rotation on a predictable delivery calendar.
