As Spotify doubles down on its commitment to the ‘freemium’ model and to creating a high-quality experience for all of their users, it launches this ambitious, and sometimes quite humorous, multi-faceted campaign.

The company stated that with the new Spotify free experience, ad-supported users have access to all the songs they love and the freedom to discover millions of new songs. In that spirit, the campaign invites people to “love what you love” free on Spotify.

The first part of the campaign features two commercials in which Spotify puts its spin on action and horror film trailers. The second part of the campaign, inspired by dating apps, includes digital videos that the company is calling ‘Match Instantly,’ along with out of home (OOH) marketing, featuring posters and billboards that

In time for summer Blockbuster season, Spotify created two faux film trailers for cinema, broadcast, digital TV and social that begin rolling out in 11 markets worldwide today (May 15) through June 21, including the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

For ‘Love What You Love,’ the in-house creative team has fashioned a variety of billboards that will be showcased in eight global markets, highlighting personalized and curated playlists, featuring artists such as Demi Lovato, Luke Bryan and Montell Jordan and the user experience.

With its ‘Match Instantly’ videos Spotify encourages discovery and love for music, celebrating how powerful it can be to find – or rediscover – the perfect song. In a series of romantic vignettes, Spotify elevates everyday music discovery moments into love scenes. There will be three Match Instantly videos in total that will run across digital and social channels in United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. They include “Meadow” featuring Sza’s song “Drew Barrymore” and “Car” featuring “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer.
