Spotify Wrapped is a full advertising campaign, with social media as only part of the picture. “According to Alex Bodman, Spotify’s vice president and global executive creative director, the goal was to make the setting feel like it could be anywhere and relatable to everyone - regardless of their music tastes.” (Swant, 2019) Streaming statistics for podcasts were also new to the 2019 Wrapped campaign, in order to further promote the podcast feature via the streaming service.

Most recently, in 2019, Wrapped expanded to 21 markets and was integrated into the Spotify mobile app. The site is colorful, attractively designed and well suited for sharing on social media. The data is displayed on a personal “microsite” for each user to explore upon the release of the campaign each year. The wrap-up also displays data regarding the new artists and songs discovered over the course of the year and geographic distribution of where their music originated from. Included in this annual reflection is a “Top 100 Songs” playlist that features a user’s most played tracks, top genres and artists, as well as the total listening time that the user put in that year.
