Spotify Sparks made its first-ever stop in Mexico City! One of the world’s biggest cities played host to big-time discussions about the future of audio—for industry leaders, content creators, artists, and brands. Couldn’t be there with us? No te preocupes: Here’s a few highlights from our sessions👇 On the passion that has transformed Mexican music into a global phenomenon: “Leveraging the power of streaming and a new generation of artists who knew how to connect with new audiences, the genre reached mass consumption. I am very proud to say that in the last five years the consumption of Reggaeton Mexa has grown more than 1,100% on Spotify. That helps us to have a very engaged community of fans on the platform.” —Carlos Cervantes, Artist & Label Partnerships Manager, Spotify Mexico On how consumption drives innovation and cultural trends at Spotify: “Spotify has built a focus of inspiration. We listen to what's happening on and off the platform, we focus on what matters to the audience and make sure they see Spotify as a platform that connects with them and understands them” —Sol Naldi, Marketing Lead, Spotify Mexico On how podcasts allow for unique opportunities to connect with culture-defining creators: “The audience in general, and specifically the podcast audience, is increasingly demanding and appreciates it when the ads feel honest, organic and related to what they are consuming. It is essential to know how to choose the right content creators for each campaign and know their audiences in detail, in order to deliver the right message” —Ariana Spenza, Creator Partner Manager, Spotify
