The New Audio Reaching the Spoti Listener in Europe Streaming is now mainstream.

The biggest digital music services have grown their audiences. Listening habits are changing, as some younger listeners bypass traditional radio in favor of streaming radio, and older listeners spend more time with new content distribution channels. As people nd new ways to access music, they’re soundtracking their lives according to the rules of our on-demand age. They listen on the go and across devices, taking full advantage of mobile and connected platforms. They listen throughout the day, not just during their morning drive. And they listen in the moments that make up their lives, from exercising and commuting to partying, studying and more.

Spoti is invested in helping marketers navigate this new landscape to grow the pie for the audio advertising industry. That’s why we’ve commissioned research to quanti the reach and quality of our free audience in 10 countries across Europe. Conducted by TNS, this study marks the rst time Spoti has been measured directly alongside commercial radio. We hope the results help demysti today’s audio consumer and shed more light on how digital and broadcast platforms complement one another.

The audio advertising industry continues to grow. New content distribution channels will enable the audio medium and audio advertising to ourish. It all starts with knowing where, when and how your audience listens.
