Ad Formats

Engage users with display ads

Reach fans in a discovery mindset only when Spotify is open on their screen. Display ads fit naturally within content to turn attention into impact.

Drive impact during discovery moments

Share your story in highly-visible placements when fans are searching for their next favorite song or podcast.

In-feed display via Spotify Ads Manager and Direct IO

In-feed display ads appear in two placements. The first is Now Playing view: after a listener starts streaming with the app open, the ad appears in a 1x1 container where the album art was. It persists until the user dismisses the ad, leaves the view, skips a track, or exits Spotify.

The second is the Browse (Search) screen, where your ad appears between content sections as listeners actively explore.

In-feed and leaderboard display via Spotify Ad Exchange

On Spotify Ad Exchange, in-feed display ads appear in the same placements as Ads Manager and Direct IO. Leaderboard ads are exclusive to Spotify Ad Exchange and only available on desktop, where they appear on the Browse (Search) screen.
