From discovery-phase to campaign-ready

Beno is an emerging pop artist blending vulnerable lyricism, alt-pop textures, and Gen Z emotional storytelling. Miami-born and studying at Berklee College of Music, he is transitioning from discovery-phase singles into a cohesive brand era — with enough early audience traction to support conversion-focused fan experiences.

With ~59,000 monthly Spotify listeners and recent release activity including Paradise (Feb 2026), the near-term value is proving repeatable conversion from passive streaming listeners to owned audience actions: email/SMS capture, pre-save, UGC creation, and merch intent.

Our proposal: a milestone-gated campaign starting with a 4–6 week pilot, scaling only when base-case conversion assumptions are met for at least two consecutive cycles. Capital follows proof, not promise.

Humid dusk romanticism

Miami golden hour bleeds into Berklee midnight — warm terracotta and deep ocean ink frame a world of beautiful almost-moments caught on expired film.

Projections built from 59K monthly listener baseline (captured 2026-03-22). Capital staging is milestone-based: phase 1 pilot gated to KPIs, scale only after base-case assumptions met for 2+ consecutive cycles. All ranges should be replaced by observed funnel metrics after the first 30-day instrumented cycle.
