Video ads that deliver your message
Intro to video advertising with Spotify
Unlike other forms of video ad experiences, the Spotify experience is built for sound on and volume up. That means, there’s no need to restrict your message to primarily visuals or rely on workarounds like subtitles—with video on Spotify, you can spark imagination through eyes and ears. Plus, we only serve video when the user is “in-focus” (looking at the app), meaning you can be confident your message will be seen and heard by your audience.

Why create video ads on Spotify?
Audio advertising on Spotify lets you tap into valuable screenless moments — when listeners stream while cooking, working out, or chilling. But listeners aren’t just streaming with the Spotify app in the background, and we want to help you better connect with listeners when you have the attention of their eyes and ears. Video ads perfectly complement our audio ad offering and give you a visual storytelling opportunity for those in-focus moments.
We've seen that by reaching audiences in both in-focus and screenless moments, running both video ads and audio ads produces higher brand results than running video ads alone, including a 1.9x increase in ad recall and a 2.2x increase in brand awareness.¹ Plus, like we said before, we only serve video ads during in-focus moments which maximizes visibility.
With the combination of audio and video ads, you have the opportunity to tell a more nuanced story that sparks interest and drives impact because you have the full attention of your audiences’ eyes and ears. ¹ Nielsen Brand Effect on Spotify, March 2020
