So what's the key learning?

💡End-of-year recaps aren't just a bitta fun. They're a planned and calculated manoeuvre to use customers as a marketing tool.

💡 In 2020, Spotify Wrapped saw Spotify's mobile app downloads increase by a whopping 21% in the first week of December.  

💡Basically, by encouraging Spotify listeners to share their music taste, they're amplifying the brand's reach...which sees them achieve hundreds of millions of eyeballs organically. And, it's why we're seeing platforms like Reddit and even Tinder join in on the recap ruckus.
