Music is not a thing. It is part of human life, motivation for tough times, and it decides and changes the way we think. But alongside this, music also is an excellent business from different perspectives, and music streaming is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, we will explore and explain the marketing strategy of the largest music streaming platform, Spotify, and cover some successful marketing campaigns by Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spotify is an online music streaming platform founded by Daniel Ek<\/a> and Martin Lorentzon<\/a> in April 2006. This platform has 468 million active users, including 195 million paying subscribers. The idea for launching Spotify was to deal with music piracy. Before music streaming platforms were unpopular, people used to download pirated music files, which was a problem for the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spotify comprises two words, ‘spot’ <\/strong>and ‘identify<\/strong>‘. Daniel and Martin came up with random names for their streaming platforms, and Spotify, a word misspelt by Daniel, became its last name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time, you can see people’s interest in Spotify on Google Trends. The data shows how the company is gaining popularity in the music industry from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
