Why is this work relevant for Media?
Using Spotify’s data tracking, we turned the platform into a whole new media for a personalized radio campaign.
Background
Poor network quality is no fun. Especially when it comes to streaming music. When a song buffers and doesn’t play smoothly, it’s annoying to everyone. That’s why we wanted to convince customers of competitor carriers to switch to Deutsche Telekom and Germany’s best-rated network. With our campaign, we wanted to address a young target audience that is interested in music streaming and difficult to reach via traditional media and standard messages. Our task was to find a way to break through the clutter and convince users of other carriers that Deutsche Telekom is the no. 1 choice in Germany.

We used Spotify as a platform for our campaign to address all those who were not yet using the best network - right in the moment of truth: while actually streaming music. Spotify’s data tracking allowed us to target users based on their network provider and music taste. We used these data-insights to create highly personalized ads in the form of songs.

We used Spotify’s data tracking in an unique way that allowed us to target users based on their individual network provider and also their personal music taste. For each combination possibility we created a customized song. These songs individually addressed users of our competitors. With personalized lyrics referring to the respective network provider they were streaming with. That way, we were able to deliver highly customized messages to every single listener using a provider other than Telekom. We not only ensured the ads came across almost like real songs but also efficiently delivered our message to the right audiences.
