Context

The campaign question behind Tower Records

Tower Records had a known brand and a broad catalog, but paid acquisition needed a clearer system for surfacing the right products to the right fans. Affspace Ad paired catalog context with managed campaign execution, using AI only to support optimization review.

What needed to be solved

A wide catalog made it hard to decide which products deserved the next dollar of spend.
Acquisition needed to reach new buyers without relying only on brand familiarity.
The team wanted higher order value, not just more individual low-value orders.

Operating profile

The work was framed around the facts needed to decide what should launch, what should wait, and what needed tighter review.
