Turning Data into a Cultural Phenomenon: Spotify Wrapped

As the year draws to a close, Spotify gears up for its global "Wrapped" campaign. Users dive into their personal favorites and discover the trends that defined their year, while the audio platform reveals which artists, bands, and podcasts dominated the charts.

The Approach

We go beyond the global charts to decode the specific cultural pulse of the DACH region. By translating hyper-local data into compelling narratives, we provide journalists with high-octane stories that demand attention. We don't just report numbers; we ignite playful rivalries between cities and neighborhoods, turning listening habits into a badge of local identity. By centering the conversation around local talent, we ensure the campaign feels earned, authentic, and deeply rooted in the community.

The Results

The strategy resulted in over 1,000 media clippings across a wide variety of outlets and channels. This comprehensive press coverage achieved a massive total reach of 943 million, cementing Wrapped as the definitive cultural conversation of the year-end.
