With Spotify Ad monthly active users increasing to 574 million in Q3 2023—a 26% year over year increase, more agencies and advertisers are tapping into this audio giant’s ad platform to deliver results for their clients. Whether your agency is already using Spotify Ads to drive demand for your clients or it’s something on your roadmap, Spotify Ads are a growing opportunity to capture the attention of the target audience that’s actually listening.
What Is Spotify Ad Analytics
Spotify Ad Analytics provides valuable insights into the performance of your advertising campaigns on the platform. By leveraging these analytics, marketers can understand how their ads are resonating with listeners and how effectively they are driving engagement and conversions.
The importance of Spotify Ad metrics lies in their ability to inform and refine marketing strategies. With access to detailed performance data, marketers can optimize their ad content, targeting, and budget allocation to achieve better results. This data-driven approach ensures that marketing efforts are not just a shot in the dark but are based on concrete evidence of what works and what doesn’t.
Spotify Ad Analytics help in understanding listener behavior, preferences, and trends. This understanding allows marketers to create more personalized and relevant ads, enhancing the overall user experience and fostering a stronger connection with the audience.
In a competitive landscape, having access to such insights is crucial for staying ahead. It allows for continuous improvement and innovation in advertising strategies, ensuring that campaigns remain effective and engaging over time.
Saving Time to Focus on Spotify Ads Success
In-house experts and audio advertising agencies help their clients reach new listeners with value-driven publicity that offers a great experience without interruption.
If you’re running Spotify ads for your clients, your team spends a good portion of its time adjusting ads until they’re just right. But you’re probably also spending too many billable hours each month putting together client reports instead of focusing on the marketing creative that drives results.
With the Spotify Ads integration, each client you onboard gets access to their AgencyAnalytics reporting system from Day One. You have actionable insights at your fingertips and save countless hours each month on client reporting and Spotify campaign reporting.
Your clients are happy with your agency’s transparency and see that you are consistently delivering a solid ROI by presenting:
Ad Spend
CTR
Streaming Conversions Metrics (for music promotion campaigns)
Your clients also have a holistic overview of their ad campaigns and audience, as you’ve given them a login to a client-facing dashboard that saves time during your one-on-one meetings to discuss the strategy for future campaigns rather than explain the numbers.
A Lower Barrier to Entry for Audio Ads
Podcast advertising is effective—and on the rise. Of Spotify’s total monthly active user base, nearly 63% (361 million) are ad supported. This amount represents a 32% year over year increase for the streaming platform.
Most agencies have a few clients that would love to place their products in different mediums and want to take advantage of Spotify Ads’ continual growth in ROAS. But when your team’s resources are limited, the extra effort to set up a new reporting system for the platform could be a roadblock.
That’s now taken care of. Simply connect to the Spotify Ads integration in AgencyAnalytics for comprehensive reporting, allowing your team to focus exclusively on optimizing newer campaigns to improve ROAS and measure brand effectiveness for your clients.
With that, your agency is ready to add a new advertising channel for a few of your willing clients. It’s now much easier for your agency to test out the free voiceover tools and mixes Spotify offers, producing professional-quality ads for your clients’ pilot campaigns and enhancing brand awareness.
Dive Into Spotify Ad Metrics With Zero Fuss
Marketing agencies that use Spotify to advertise their clients’ products or services need actionable data to optimize their digital audio campaigns. Utilizing Spotify Ad Analytics provides comprehensive tools for advertisers to measure and report on their campaign performance across various audio ad formats, including music and podcasts. Accessing Spotify metrics in a visual marketing dashboard instead of the platform itself allows agencies to dedicate their efforts to strategizing and creating quality content.
The Spotify Ads integration enables agencies to pull critical metrics into an intuitive reporting platform and combine them with other marketing channels to give a complete picture of their marketing activities. All drag-and-drop, zero fuss.
The Spotify Ads dashboard in AgencyAnalytics organizes your clients’ latest Spotify metrics into an intuitive dashboard.
Let’s look at what’s included in each dashboard tab.
1. Summary

And more!
You can always use the widgets on the right-hand side of your dashboard to drag and drop any key metrics you’d like to see.

Impressions

Demographics such as age, gender, and location
And more.
3. Ad Sets
This is where a majority of your client’s ad performance data can be found. View performance and targeting information for each ad set such as platform type and gender targets. Compare how ad sets are performing with visual graphics that break down clicks, CPC, impressions, and more–all by Ad Set.
4. Ads
Easily browse through your Ads, and keep track of their status–whether they’ve been approved, if they’re still active, and if the ad resonates with the target audience.
See how each ad is performing against the others to better improve your creatives. Preview each ad without ever leaving your dashboard!
Connect the Spotify Ads Integration in 3 Easy Steps

You will first be prompted to connect to a new account, where you will enter your Spotify Ads credentials.
After you enter the login credentials, the integration is complete, and your client’s Spotify Ads metrics will be imported and displayed within the dashboard.
Use additional data and filters to dig even further into the campaign performance data, including engagement rates, video completion rates, view-through conversions, and more.
