Why Spotify is becoming the place to be for brands?
Spotify is perhaps not the first platform that springs to mind for social marketers, with the majority of brands focusing on the likes of Facebook and Instagram first and foremost.
However, with a total of 217 million monthly active users worldwide, there’s a very obvious reason why some brands are expanding their attention to Spotify as a social media platform.
So, how are brands engaging with users here? Here’s a breakdown of what Spotify offers brands, and a few notable examples of its usage…

Fleur, Greg and James will start the programme from Manchester, for Manchester (and DAB elsewhere), on July 12th – replacing Gethin, Gemma and Dave.
