Social Media Strategie
Übersicht
Social Media ist ein kritisches Multiplikator-Tool für Breakout's Launch, aber nicht der Primär-Wachstumstreiber. Viele Startups machen den Fehler, dass sie denken "wenn wir viral auf TikTok gehen, lösen wir alle Probleme." Die Realität: Social Media ist 15-20% des Wachstums, direkte Creator-Akquisition ist 40-50%.
Aber die 15-20% sind wichtig. Social Media erfüllt mehrere Funktionen:
- Social Proof: "Schau, diese Plattform ist real – Menschen nutzen sie"
- Creator Seeding: Wenn Creator sehen dass Breakout auf TikTok/Instagram viral geht, werden sie interessierter
- Content Recycling: User-Generated Content (Sessions, Artist Reactions) wird zu Social Media Content
- Community Building: Discord, Twitter Communities wo echte Diskussionen entstehen
- Paid Ads Targeting: Social Media Ads können gezielt Creator und Artists rekrutieren
Diese Strategie fokussiert auf organic first, paid second. Wir bauen authentischen, wertvollen Content statt einfach nur zu pushen.
Plattform-Strategie: Multi-Channel Ansatz
Nicht alle Plattformen sind gleich. Jede braucht unterschiedlichen Content und hat unterschiedliche Ziele. Wir konzentrieren uns auf Platforms wo unsere Zielgruppe aktiv ist.
TikTok: Viral Moments & Short Clips (Primär)
Warum TikTok (für Breakout):
- Das Publikum ist jung (16-30), musik-obsessed, und loves Überraschungs-Momente
- TikTok's Algorithm bevorzugt authentische, nicht-overly-polished Content
- Music Discovery passt perfekt zum TikTok-Format ("Diese neue Artist hat mich überrascht")
- TikTok ist wo junge Creator und aufstrebende Artists Zeit verbringen
- Kurz-Form Video ist perfekt für Attention Spans
Content-Typen & Posting-Mix:
1. Reaction Clips (30% of posting): 15-30 sec
- Creator reacts zu neuer Artist
- Echt sein (nicht geschrieben, spontan)
- Hook: Überraschung, Lachen, tiefe Musical Analyse
- Beispiel: Creator hört hip-hop track, seine Augen werden groß, "Wait, who is this?"
- Text Overlay: "This artist just hit Breakout. €1.000 at stake."
2. Artist Success Stories (25% of posting): 20-30 sec
- "Before & After" Format
- Artist submittet ursprünglich, got feedback
- Artist improved, submitted wieder
- "Now competing in €1.000 tournament"
- Creates hope (if they can do it, so can I)
3. Breakout Moments (20% of posting): 15-30 sec
- "Artists A vs B – Who won the Leaderboard?"
- New #1 Artist announcement
- Qualified for Tournament celebrations
- Community voting moments
4. Creator Spotlights (15% of posting): 30-45 sec
- "Meet [Creator Name]" short interviews
- Why they host, their music taste
- Best session moments
- Link to their stream
5. Educational Content (10% of posting): 30-60 sec
- "How to submit to Breakout"
- "What creators look for in music"
- "How tournament qualification works"
- "5 Artists you should know"
Posting Frequency: 5-7x pro Woche (täglich ideal)
Engagement Strategy:

"Road to Tournament" Narrative als Content Series
Das Tournament ist unser größtes Event. Wir sollten es als Story-Arc behandeln:
Phase 1 (Week 1-2): "The Beginning"
- "We're launching Breakout"
- "Here are our founding creators"
- Tone: Excitement, possibility
Phase 2 (Week 3-6): "The Hunt"
- "Meet the artists"
- "See the submissions"
- "Artists getting feedback"
- Tone: Momentum, energy, competition
Phase 3 (Week 7-8): "The Qualifying Round"
- "Top 50 finalists are locked in"
- "Meet the tournament artists"
- "Creator jury spotlight"
- Tone: Prestige, official
Phase 4 (Week 9): "Tournament Week"
- Daily: "Artist [X] vs [Y] - Vote Now!"
- Live: Session clips from tournament
- Tension: "It's down to the final 3!"
- Tone: Drama, excitement
Phase 5 (Week 10): "The Winner"
- "We have a WINNER!"
- "Artist [Winner] takes €1.000!"
- Post-mortem: Lessons learned
- Tone: Celebration, gratitude
Creator-Content Leverage
Creator generieren Content. Wir sollten diesen Content repurposieren.
Mechanik:
- Permission: Creator erlaubt Breakout, Session-Clips zu nehmen
- Extract: Clips automatisch genieren (oder manuell best moments)
- Credit: Always credit Creator + Artist
- Cross-Post: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Community
- Tag Creator: @CreatorName zu ihrer Aufmerksamkeit
- Support: Breakout boosted Creator's Content auf Breakout Accounts
Incentive für Creator: Mehr Visibility = Mehr Engagement = Grow Creator's own audience
Beispiel:
Creator macht Session mit Artist. Breakout extrahiert 3-5 Clips:
- 15-sec TikTok: Artist reacts to feedback
- 30-sec Instagram Reel: Creator's best critique
- 3-min YouTube: Full feedback exchange
- Twitter thread: Key takeaways
Alle gepostet mit: "@CreatorName @ArtistName 🎵 #Breakout"

- Total: €2.200-3.100/month
Expected Output per month:

- €0-500 YouTube ads (optional)
- Total: €2.700-4.100/month
Expected increase from Paid:

Collaboration with Creators & Artists
Creator Content Loop:
- Creator hosts session on Breakout
- Breakout team clips the session
- Clips posted to Breakout social (TikTok, IG, YT)
- Clips tagged to Creator's account
- Creator sees the post, shares with their audience
- Creator's audience comes to Breakout
- Cycle repeats with more scale
Artist Content Loop:
- Artist submits track on Breakout
- Creator gives feedback during session
- Breakout clips the feedback
- Artist shares clip on their TikTok ("I got feedback from [Creator]!")
- Artist's followers see Breakout
- Some follow artist to Breakout
- Cycle repeats
Both loops are self-perpetuating if managed correctly.
Contingency: If Social Metrics Stall
Falls nach 3-4 Wochen die Social Numbers nicht wachsen:
- Pause organic investment: Reduce to 1 FTE (cost savings)
- Shift to Paid: Increase ad budget to €1.500-2.000/month
- Influencer Partnerships: Contact 10-20 micro-influencers (10k-100k followers)
- Reach: 10-20 pieces of user-generated content + audience
- Budget: €2.000-5.000
- Reddit Outreach: r/makinghiphop, r/musicproduction (organic)
- Email Outreach: Direct to music blogs, podcasts
