The Specific Approach

At Super Specific, we believe a modern independent artist career is built by focusing on the 2% of fans that drive revenue – known as superfans. According to Spotify, this group accounts for 50% of ticket sales[1].



But why focus on superfans at all? There are two key reasons:

 

  1. From the 2%, we can learn who to target to grow the overall pie
  2. Focusing on revenue first allows for sustainable, long-term growth

 

So how to grow the pie? Here’s our specific approach:

 
  • Identify your core superfans and map what earns attention
  • Align a content plan to those interests to attract more fans like them
  • Time direct offers and outreach when interest peaks, then double-down on what works

 

Super Specific helps you understand who your superfans are, what they care about, and how to turn that connection into momentum and sales.

How do you help artists?

 

  • Identify superfan interests: Using a custom system developed in-house, we help build a picture of your superfans: interests, top content, fan status. We map what earns attention and what drives engagement.

  • Published aligned content: We'll help you develop content to attract more fans like your existing superfans, building a calendar view of posts that grows your base.

  • Orchestrate commercial moments: Time direct offers and outreach when interest peaks, then double-down on what works. You'll know who cares about tickets, merch or recorded music. And you'll know which campaign events resonate most.

Why does Super Specific exist?

 

Our mission is to help independent artists achieve growth through sustained, scalable success, not fleeting viral moments.
