SPOTIFY BOOKTRACKS

Spotify, the world's leading music streaming platform, has recently entered the audiobook market. The problem is, only 36% of Gen-Z start and finish an audiobook. To captivate this audience, we made "Booktracks". This innovative new feature is designed to provide a more immersive and captivating experience for audiobook listeners. By creating carefully curated playlists that can be played alongside audiobooks, Spotify hopes to bring a new level of enjoyment and engagement to the audiobook listening experience.

  • While a majority of Gen Z’ers choose Spotify, they continue to perceive our platform as a strictly music streaming platform. Spotify is looking to change the Gen Z perception of Spotify only being for music.

    The challenge is to find new ways to encourage new and current Spotify users to engage with and discover the world of Audiobooks.

    We need to educate new and existing Spotify users about the existence of Audiobooks and get them to consider Spotify whenever they want to dive deeper into the books they love.

  • I created a user interface module that integrates with the design language Spotify already uses for its mobile application. This module is minimal and conveys the idea of using music and soundtracks that are already on Spotify to play in cohesion with an audiobook.

    To make a bold statement, we also utilized Out of Home (OOH) advertising by placing large billboards in high-traffic areas such as college campuses and city centers. The billboards feature high-quality mockups of popular audiobooks playing with “Booktracks” and corresponding copy.
