When advertisers create digital audio for Spotify, they have the opportunity to reach passionate music lovers and dedicated podcast listeners who tune in day after day-a truly engaged audience, if not the most engaged audience. And as audio content consumption is on the rise with no signs of slowing down, digital advertising is also becoming more mainstream. Now, Spotify Advertising is taking advantage of this reality to excite advertisers, publishers, and creators about this opportunity with our first global B2B brand campaign, All Ears On You.
We're showing advertisers what it truly means to reach a fully engaged audience by imagining the Spotify experience as a moment where each listener is immersed in Spotify as they go about their day-protected from the noise and distractions of everyday life.
One part of our campaign is a stunning video created in conjunction with film director Amber Grace Johnson. The video, which was shot in Mexico City, shows this true immersion in a beautiful sync of live action and visual effects, all set to the song Feet Don't Fail Me Now by Spotify RADAR artist Joy Crookes.
For the Record grabbed time with Amber to speak with her about her love of music, the creative direction that went into the campaign, and her goal in working with Spotify's advertising team.
Why were you interested in working with Spotify? Music is one of the biggest motivators in my life. I'm a person who needs 360-degree stimulation. Music helps me romanticize the mundane by injecting it with pure delicious immersion. It's pretty wild to think of how terrifyingly vital a role Spotify plays in my every day-feasting my ears with the infinite soundtracks of my life.
And because I love all genres (and even surprise myself with what I come to love), Spotify gives me the means to discover newness (and oldness). I truly believe the world would be a lost and scary place without this medium.
I've always been a fan of Spotify. Since I started professionally directing three years ago, I had Spotify on my list as a brand I admire and dreamed of working with. And this experience absolutely lived up to that dream of mine.
Tell us a little about the direction in the All Ears On You film. What are the elements you set out to convey? Powerful women and the art of letting go. This film is a window into the life of someone truly present-a young woman who defies the gravity of today's experience by way of music. Our main character is able to rise above the ambush of the digital zeitgeist, an at-times suffocating frenzy.
As someone who lives and dies by Spotify, I believe music has healing powers. And whenever I'm in a bad mood, I play James Brown's People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul, and it works like magic. I wanted to share the wonders of music and how it can transport you to another dimension, if you let it.
In this piece, we revel in a spirit so comfortable in herself that she makes you feel free enough to do the same. If anything, we want people to watch this and feel inspired to romanticize their lives, add a bit of spice-no matter how mundane-to something like a dizzying commute home from work. My goal is to sweep you off your feet with some Spotify.
The song in the video is Feet Don't Fail Me Now by Joy Crookes. How did you choose this song? How did it influence the story within the video, and vice versa? We were all hell-bent on finding the perfect song that was magnetic and soulful and by an artist on the rise. Spotify's algorithm is strong and has personally put me on to a number of artists I wasn't privy to. Finding that balance was essential, especially for a brand with real influence on how the world experiences music.
When we were auditioning songs (I want to say, we tried hundreds of options!), Feet Don't Fail Me Now just hit differently. It had this Amy Winehouse-meets-Bond feeling. There's something with the instrumentation that made me feel like it's in the spirit of a James Bond soundtrack. And, of course, the lyrics are very synchronistic with the visuals. Joy Crookes is an artist's artist, on the cusp of something greater, with real intention behind her craft.
