Spotify advertising that puts your brand in the ear of the right people

Spotify is the world’s most popular audio streaming platform – and one of the most underused advertising channels in Australia. While your competitors are fighting for attention on social media feeds, you could be speaking directly to engaged listeners during their commute, workout or morning routine.

With Spotify Ads, you can target your ideal customers by location, age, gender, interests, music taste and time of day – and deliver your message in a context where they’re genuinely paying attention.

We help you plan, create and manage Spotify advertising campaigns that build brand awareness, drive website traffic and deliver measurable results.

Spotify Advertising FAQ’s

Audio ads (mp3/wav, up to 30 seconds with a companion image), horizontal video ads (16:9, up to 30 seconds) and vertical video ads (9:16, up to 30 seconds). Most advertisers use audio – it’s what Spotify audiences expect and where the platform is strongest.

Partially. Since January 2021, even Premium subscribers hear ads on podcasts. Free-tier users hear ads on music streams. Your campaign reach extends across both.

Yes – Spotify Ad Studio offers complimentary production where you choose a voice actor gender and age, provide a script (70 words max), select a music mood and submit a companion image. It’s a good option for simple, fast campaigns. For more brand-specific creative, our custom production service delivers stronger results.

A Spotify campaign can launch from $250, though we recommend a minimum of $1,000-$2,500 per campaign for meaningful results. For ongoing monthly campaigns, $2,500-$5,000/month gives you the frequency needed to build brand awareness.

Yes – particularly for local businesses wanting to reach customers in a specific area, or businesses whose target audience aligns with a specific listening demographic. The targeting precision makes Spotify very cost-effective when used strategically.
