Spotify Ad Studio is now available to all advertisers in the Netherlands

Over the past year, we’ve seen digital audio surge across the Netherlands: Spotify has seen a +18pp increase in weekly reach from 2019 to 2020, which means 52% of the online Dutch population is streaming weekly.¹ Ad Studio offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with these valuable, engaged Spotify listeners through easy-to-use tools that help create ad campaigns in minutes. Plus, it’s all happening in an environment listeners love: listeners are 2X more likely to view Spotify as “trendsetting” and “enjoyable” compared to radio.¹

Run audio and video ads on Spotify with Ad Studio

Ad Studio supports both audio and video ads, so you can tell your brand’s story in a format that matches the moment. So whether your audience is listening screen-free or scrolling the app for a new playlist, you can connect with them through a seamless ad experience. But you might want to consider both formats: We’ve seen that running both video and audio increases ad recall by 90% and results in a 2.2x increase in brand awareness.³

But with the introduction of Spotify Ad Studio, everyone can now start advertising on Spotify. Campaigns start at only €250, giving advertisers all control in creating assets and managing targeting options. Ad Studio is intuitive and easy to use—you can set up your campaign in just a few clicks."

“We started advertising on Spotify to reach young people who may be interested in a job. Spotify Ad Studio is easy to use, and their team was very helpful. Our audio and video ad campaigns reached many people and had an above-average click-through ratio which is very important! We now include Spotify Advertising as an essential media channel in large employer brand campaigns.”
