To wrap up the end of the year and help consumers look forward to the new one ahead, Spotify created a dynamic series of data-driven music billboards that call out specific user habits. The '2018 Goals' ads call out groups of users with messages like: "Take a page from the 3,445 people who streamed the ‘Boozy Brunch’ playlist on a Wednesday this year," as well as noting single users who put together standout undeniably unique playlists such as "Leftist Elitist Snowflake BBQ." Many of these data-driven ads touch on the current political climate and how Spotify users are using the platform to express their beliefs through music.
