In addition to putting on concerts featuring Dua Lipa and Post Malone, the Spotify Beach also featured an #AllEarsOnYou activation, Spotify Advertising’s first-ever brand campaign.

The company also recently announced a partnership with Integral Ad Science and UM Worldwide to establish a solution for brand safety in digital audio.
