Spotify are back with another brilliant outdoor campaign
By James Herring on Tuesday, September 17, 2019
Spotify have launched their Autumn outdoor campaign ‘Listen Like You Used To’ – calling out the cultural differences of the last decade.
A series of witty building banners, digital signs and other platforms have been unveiled and are winning a load of well deserved praise on Twitter.
A drop banner on London Rd Manchester reads ‘1998 – Baggy jeans and chokers are in. Spice Girls are on tour. 2019 – Ditto.’

Over the past two years Spotify has run data driven ads that share subscriber’s more quirky listening habits, such as the fact there is a ‘I love gingers’ playlist with 48 Ed Sheeran songs on it, that Big Shaq’s ‘Man’s Not Hot’ was played 42 million times in 2017.
