Spotify
Client Objective
In a bid to promote usage and adoption of their platform in Abuja and Kaduna, Spotify aimed to launch the “Say it with Lyrics” campaign, utilising their popular creative storytelling ads targeted towards young adults.
The Big Idea
Making It Happen
Kubwa is one of the most populated and busiest areas in Abuja. Our railway advertising solutions at the Kubwa train station offered the perfect out-of-home platforms for Spotify to launch the campaign. We provided strategically placed ads in the waiting room, targeting passengers as they sat and waited for the train to Kaduna. We also positioned them at the Arrival Hall for those arriving in the City of Abuja, ensuring full coverage of the audience along the rail line.
Results
The “Say it with Lyrics” campaign was a strategic initiative by Spotify aimed at promoting platform usage and adoption in Abuja and Kaduna. This case study focuses on the non-statistical results of the campaign, shedding light on its impact beyond quantitative metrics.
Increased Brand Awareness: Through anecdotal evidence and passenger feedback, it was observed that the campaign significantly boosted brand awareness in the target areas. People began to associate Spotify not just with music but also with creative storytelling and meaningful content.
Enhanced User Engagement: User engagement showed signs of improvement, with users actively participating in the campaign. This included sharing playlists, commenting on ads, and participating in user-generated content inspired by the campaign’s creative storytelling approach.
Improved Perceptions: A shift in how young adults perceived Spotify was noted. It evolved from being solely a music streaming platform to a destination for creative and inspiring content, reinforcing its position in the market.
Community Engagement: Spotify’s presence at the Kubwa train station and Arrival Hall fostered a sense of community involvement. Users felt that Spotify cared about their city and culture, enhancing the platform’s image as a brand deeply rooted in local communities.
The “Say it with Lyrics” campaign successfully achieved several non-statistical outcomes that contributed to the overall success of the initiative. These results highlight the impact of the campaign on brand perception, user engagement, and community interaction, showcasing how a holistic approach to marketing can drive meaningful connections with the target audience.
