CAMPAIGN TOOLS

Turn listeners into fans with Marquee

Create campaigns that invite listeners to go deeper with your new release.

Get started

Get listeners into your new music

Marquee is a full-screen, sponsored recommendation of your new release to Spotify Free and Premium listeners who have shown interest in your music and have the potential to listen more.

When a listener clicks on a Marquee, they are guided to your new release—and your release alone. This means they can focus solely on your music and discover more of you.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear what marketers have to say

We're in the business of making new fans, and Marquee is a powerful tool to reach them. The numbers are staggering – we're seeing deep listening through an entire album or more. I look forward to running more campaigns.

Mike Fabio

VP of Digital Strategy, New West Records

Almost 20% of casual listeners who saw El Alfa’s Marquee added songs from the album to their library or a playlist. This served as a great indicator that users intended on continuing to engage with the album and the artist after the campaign.

Geoff Halliday

Head of Promotions, CD Baby

Marquee enables us to engage the right listeners for our artists’ releases. Having run several campaigns, the results have been consistent and effective.

Jacqueline Rossi

Marquee is an important tool for artists at every stage of their career to grow their fan base, receive data that helps them understand their listeners, and broaden their scope - all of which are tools our clients have benefited from.

CASE STUDY

How DRAMA used Marquee to grow their fanbase

CONTEXT

Since forming in 2014, Chicago-based duo, DRAMA, had released a series of EPs and were preparing to drop their first album, “Dance Without Me."

GOAL

They wanted a tool that would help them develop their audience. DRAMA worked with their label and distributor to run a Marquee, giving them a way to reach people who had shown interest in their music and make them more engaged.

PERFORMANCE

Marquee helped DRAMA take their audience to deeper levels of fanhood — 25% of listeners who saw a Marquee saved or playlisted at least one track from the album, showing intent to listen again. And, each listener didn’t just stream a few tracks, they streamed an average of 17 tracks, much more than the entire album.
