Kat – Safe Haven Marketing Campaign Case Study

Kat is a UK-based emerging artist from the pop/soul scene. Kat joined as a Paradise Worldwide client and released her first single, ‘Safe Haven’, with us on the 10th of March 2023, followed by an EP release on the 28th of April

Our Digital Solutions team partnered with Kat, to run campaigns across Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and promote her first single ‘Safe Haven’, and together we achieved extraordinary results.

Starting with just 200 monthly Spotify listeners, Kat’s audience skyrocketed to over 15,000, with the single amassing over 58,000 streams in just 2 months. How did we do it?

Through a collaborative approach, leveraging great music, and visual assets, Kat’s organic follower base (≠3K on Instagram), and strategic campaigns on social media.
