Spotify Wrapped is all about celebrating the many ways that millions of creators and fans connect through audio every day and to bring even more attention to this cultural phenomenon, the audio and media streaming provider created a pop-up cafe in Paris. The four-day activation invited people to get their very own customized Wrappucinos featuring the faces of their favorite artists and the Spotify logo.
The Wrapped Cafe pop-up also entertained with a customized pinball machine, a photobooth, a branded foosball table, plus branded dishware and Spotify coins for purchasing food and drinks. All aspects of the pop-up conveyed the essence of how deeply personal musical tastes can be, as well as how music creates community.
With Wrapped, Spotify has successfully turned data collection into a marketing campaign and millions of people look forward to the insights shared every December.
