Chosen from over 100 nominations, these campaigns demonstrated innovative use of culture, technology, sound, and offline platforms to deliver impactful brand messages.

The program highlighted campaigns across eight distinct categories, showcasing Spotify’s unique advertising possibilities. The entries were judged by a panel of Spotify India experts: Neha Ahuja (Head of Marketing), Shipra Srivastava (Director of Media), Arunima Anand (Marketing Intelligence & Research Lead), and Niyati Sah (Enterprise Marketing Lead - India & SEA).
