Contextual targeting allows advertisers to reach their audience during the right moments throughout their day, by delivering their message immediately after a user has listened to specific types of content. You can select from categories such as music genres, playlist moods, activities, or settings. 

 

How it works:

  • We identify top genres, and user-curated and Spotify-curated playlists aligned with popular activities, moments, and moods. Multiple options can be combined to expand your potential audience and tailor your campaign to connect when it matters most.
