Selling Tickets to 3 Concerts for 3 Different Artists Through Meta

Key project challenges

• three different artists meant three different audiences with different motivations and behavior
• ticket sales had to happen fast, not through a long warm-up — concerts have dates
• high risk of creative fatigue when showing ads intensively to a narrow audience
• the team had to keep CPO low while scaling

A single system for all three artists would not work — each concert needed its own approach.

Strategy

We moved straight to the bottom of the funnel: Purchase optimization without “warm-up for the sake of warm-up.” Messaging was tailored for each artist — different style, different motivation, different audience reaction. The focus was on a clear benefit: date, city, timing, “buy before it’s gone,” and social proof of the artist’s popularity.

Campaign structure

• separate campaigns for each concert — the algorithm did not mix audiences
• multiple “creative → audience” combinations, keeping only those with the lowest CPO
• frequency control and fast creative replacement when effectiveness declined

Creatives

• poster-style visuals with short messages and no unnecessary text
• emphasis on the artist, date, and a simple “Buy ticket” CTA
• feed and stories visuals to cover the maximum number of placements
