Spotify’s deep reservoir of listener data provides a wealth of insights about behaviors and preferences that can inform not only how to be a better platform for consumers, but also how to achieve infinitely better results for advertisers.

From Mark Ramsey: What if music genres are a lot less important to how listeners tune in music than “use case” moments? That is, what if what you want to do while you’re listening is more important than the genre you are listening to?
