Spotify Wrapped is finally here! This morning, Spotify debuted its annual campaign and personalised user experience – celebrating the fans, artists, and creators who made this year the record-breaking, culture-making, fandom-shaking year that it was.
From showing users how their taste in music evolved throughout the year to special messages from fans’ favourite artists and podcast creators, 2024 Spotify Wrapped is giving fans even more ways to indulge in what they love.
Eligible users can now access their personalised 2024 Wrapped Experience exclusively in the Spotify mobile app (iOS and Android). Please make sure your Spotify app is updated to the latest version to access. Users can easily access their personalised user experience in the Wrapped feed on Home.
Users can share their Wrapped results across messaging apps and their favourite social channels. And as part of our new sharing integration with TikTok, users can easily share their Wrapped results across TikTok FYP and Stories.
This year, Wrapped is being delivered locally by a dynamic mix of creative efforts across Experiential, Paid Media, Out of Home, and On Platform marketing, across an extended tease phase through to launch, in collaboration with creative agency Akcelo and social content agency Jack Nimble. This year’s campaign shines a spotlight on homegrown talent with artists such as Tones and I, Lithe and Angie McMahon featured across Out of Home placements in Melbourne & Sydney.
Furthermore, to launch 2024 Wrapped in a big way and to celebrate Aussie music, Spotify is also hosting a Pop-Up Rave today, with live artists and DJs playing to the public for free! Sydney-siders can head down to Paramatta Square at 4:00PM, to see ODDMOB, Young Franco, Sycco, Mistah Cee and Talisha.
“2024 Spotify Wrapped is all about celebrating the Australian fans, artists, and creators who made this year the record-breaking, culture-making, fandom-shaking year it was. On the tenth anniversary of Wrapped as we know it today, we want this to be our most iconic Wrapped yet,” said Spotify head of marketing (ANZ), Rosie Rothery.
‘This year, we took our approach to the next level with an extended tease phase across Out of Home and Social, designed to ignite excitement among Australia’s Wrapped-loving public and build anticipation ahead of the launch. We dialed up the intrigue further by unveiling a mysterious Wrapped shipping container in Parramatta Square yesterday. Today, we’re thrilled to reveal its purpose—leaning into the explosion of dance music, and rave culture in 2024, we’re launching Wrapped with a pop-up rave featuring some of Australia’s most exciting DJs”.
