Turning Playlists into Brands




Spotify’s most popular playlists have evolved beyond simple collections of songs; they’ve become influential music platforms, instrumental in launching artists onto the global stage. 

To extend their reach across multiple touchpoints, including social media, events, merchandise and more, we reimagined these playlists as dynamic brands. This transformation allowed them to adapt and thrive across diverse channels, amplifying their impact and cementing their role in shaping the future of music discovery.
