YouTube Ads (Google Ads) Specialist – Hip-Hop Campaign | Tier 1 Traffic | Performance-Based
Project Overview
I am an independent hip-hop artist preparing for a May 1, 2026 single release, supported by a YouTube visualizer campaign.
I am seeking a high-level Google Ads specialist to plan, launch, and optimize a YouTube Ads campaign focused on generating high-quality, Tier 1 views with strong cost efficiency and audience precision.
This campaign is performance-driven, with an emphasis on real user engagement, watch time, and algorithm-friendly traffic — not inflated or low-quality views.
