Helping a debut single get a strong first week on TikTok

Client
Singer and songwriter in Thailand, first release
Platform
TikTok
Starting point
4,800 TikTok followers, no release before
Period
Six weeks

What the client needed

Her single and video were ready, but she was a new artist and few people knew her name yet. When a first release has only a few hundred views after a week, fans and playlists rarely look at it again.

This is common for: New artists with a first single, a first video or a first series.

What we did

We added views, saves and likes to the release video evenly over the whole first week, and we did the same on the YouTube video. We also added comments in Thai that she wrote herself. Then we added followers slowly, so her profile matched the attention the video got.

Why we chose this plan

People decide what they think of a new release in its first days. We wanted a first week that looked like people had found the song on their own.

Before and after

TikTok followers 4,800 14,300
Views on the release video 2,100 186,000
YouTube views on the video 900 41,000

We measured this over two weeks before and four weeks after the release.

* This is a real case. To keep the client private, we changed the numbers by up to 10% on purpose, so nobody can find the account. The client agreed to let us publish this case study.

We publish every case study with the client's permission, and we never name anyone who did not ask to be named. We're happy to look at your account too.
