Why Spotify Wrapped Works and How You Can Do It Too
It’s finally here — the most wonderful time of the year: holidays, presents, way too much eggnog and the much-anticipated release of Spotify Wrapped. Around the first week of December every year, Spotify sends more than 150 million users a shareable recap of what they’ve listened to this year. Whether you like seeing your top artists or just want to know exactly how many times your friend played that Taylor Swift hit, Wrapped is a fun way to celebrate music and community. For marketers, there’s a lot to learn here. Spotify Wrapped shows how the right combination of personalization, visuals and shareability can create a flywheel of engagement for users. In this post, we’ll dig into how the trend got started, what makes it work and how you can leverage the trend for your audience, even if you don’t happen to be the largest music streaming service in the world.
