Spotify inside an audio plan

Spotify reaches people who stream more of their audio than they listen to on broadcast radio. Multi plans audio in a set order. We choose the radio stations that work together for reach and frequency first, then add digital audio for incremental reach among audiences who stream.

That order matters because of channel sufficiency. Every audio buy needs enough weight to build awareness, so we tell you how many markets and how many weeks the budget can cover, and we do not recommend a buy that is too light to meet the campaign goal.

What Spotify advertising costs

Spotify is bought on a cost per thousand impressions (CPM). Our planning rates are $20 to $40 CPM, depending on audience, format and timing. We set the budget against the audience size and the number of weeks you need.

A management fee applies on top of media cost. A minimum of $10,000 per month in media applies when Spotify is bought on its own. There is no separate minimum when it runs alongside other platforms.
