Spotify had a problem. The brand had grown but user retention was stalling...
It was a trend present across global markets. A large learning curve and a general gap in feature awareness caused many new users to lapse within six months. In short, Spotify’s product marketing and education program did not live up to the brand nor was it scalable or adaptable across markets. With the global chaos of 2020 as a backdrop, this was THE moment for product marketing to step into Spotify’s spotlight.

BUILDING A BRIDGE BETWEEN BRAND AND PRODUCT
Spotify’s brand, feature awareness, and product education needed to work in tandem to drive tangible user growth and retention. We started by understanding the user journey and studying the performance nuances between markets. By applying these insights to a unified strategic approach, channel mix, and creative platform, our playbook realigned Spotify's product features to the iconic brand’s emotional benefits.
