Audio Ads

Tell your story to Spotify listeners everywhere — from headphones to the car to smart speakers. Reach highly engaged Spotify listeners across all devices and platforms.

Details
Reach active listeners on any device, in any environment, during all moments of the day. Audio ads are served between songs while there are no distractions, and the listener is focused on what you have to say.

Complement your audio ad with a clickable link so listeners can tap to visit your website, app or online destination.

Platforms
Mobile, tablet, desktop, web.

Select gaming console, connected TV, connected car, and connected speaker availability varies by market.
