“Spotify Ad Studio is extremely intuitive and user-friendly. In our campaign to promote a podcast, we gained a large reach and play-throughs at a very low cost, and it was easy to optimise during the campaign. It’s an easy and fast solution to get audio ads live in a digital environment, and the platform provides targeting possibilities based on listening behavior we don’t see elsewhere.”

– Andreas Gejl, Digital Client Director, Carat, Denmark
