Spotify Deepens Relationship with Nielsen to Measure Effectiveness and Reach of Its Global Advertising Platform

By PRNewswire On Sep 11, 2018

Spotify and Nielsen announced an expansion of their relationship to include the adoption of Nielsen Brand Effect across Spotify in the US, Germany, Canada, Mexico, UK, Spain, France, Netherlands, Japan and Australia. This will allow marketers to measure and optimize their national advertising on Spotify and gain a deeper understanding of how their ads resonate and affect brand lift with their target audience.

With the integration of Nielsen Brand Effect on Spotify, advertisers will be able to delve more closely into how their messages connect with audiences and examine the effectiveness of campaigns in raising brand awareness, perception and purchase intent. The integration captures exposure to audio, video, and display formats heard or seen across desktop, mobile and connected devices. These insights will help marketers make more informed media investment decisions across their mix and drive increased campaign performance on Spotify.
