- ID5 Collaboration: This partnership enhances addressability for programmatic campaigns, enabling advertisers to effectively connect with music and podcast enthusiasts across Europe.
- Yahoo DSP Integration: Advertisers can purchase Spotify inventory directly via Yahoo DSP. Data indicates this integration has resulted in a 70% improvement in conversion rates and a 90% decrease in cost per action.
Innovative Features in Spotify Ads Manager

Proven Results and Engagement Growth
Since the launch of the Spotify Ad Exchange in April, usage among advertisers has surged by 142%. Campaigns focusing on web traffic objectives have recorded page view rates 103% higher compared to those centered on brand awareness.
Furthermore, campaigns optimized for app installations have experienced install rates 4.3 times greater than those that are non-optimized. This demonstrates Spotify’s effectiveness in driving engagement.
The Value of Spotify Advertising
