FLUZO Proves How Danone and Coca-Cola Maximized Their Reach with Spotify
The Challenge
To measure the effectiveness and incremental reach of Spotify video ads within a multi-channel Coca-Cola campaign in France targeting young adults alongside traditional TV and digital media.
The Outcome
Spotify delivered significant incremental coverage with minimal audience duplication, proving to be an essential driver to connect with 18–34 year-olds during dayparts underserved by linear TV.
In a fragmented audience landscape, Spotify establishes itself as a strategic channel for reaching non-duplicated users. Two recent campaigns measured by FLUZO in France confirm the platform's ability to generate significant incremental reach, in both audio and video formats.
Danone HiPRO: Audio as an Incremental Reach Driver
The challenge: Danone's high-protein brand HiPRO needed to connect with athletes, an audience where 50% were unfamiliar with its products. The strategy: Essence Mediacom (WPP Media) integrated Spotify audio, video, and display into the global media plan. The results:
- Spotify audio delivered +4.18 incremental reach points — 82% of the total unique reach not covered by other digital platforms.
- One-third of impressions reached audiences not exposed to TV.
- Audio format proved to be the ideal vector for connecting with sports audiences during screen-free moments.
"Spotify audio complements TV uniquely by offering large-scale incremental reach during screen-free moments. With one-third of its impressions reaching audiences not seen on TV, Spotify is an essential channel for expanding campaign coverage" — Anne Bomo, Integrated Brand Communication Director, Danone.
Coca-Cola: Video as a Coverage Amplifier Without Duplication
The challenge: Create a relevant moment around mealtimes, inviting the French to celebrate everyday small victories during meals. The strategy: EssenceMediacom launched a 100% video campaign on Spotify, targeting three profiles: "meal planners," "fast chefs," and "deliver eats," each with personalized messages. The results:
- More than 50% of Spotify's reach was incremental compared to linear TV and the total campaign
- More than 80% of its reach was incremental compared to the digital portion of the plan
- The platform expanded total coverage instead of duplicating already-reached contacts
"More than 50% of Spotify's reach was incremental compared to linear TV and the total campaign. It's worth noting that more than 80% of its reach was incremental compared to the digital part of the plan" — Alix Prouhet, Connection and Media Director, Coca-Cola.
Conclusion
FLUZO measurements demonstrate that Spotify is not only a premium and brand-safe environment but also a measurable and powerful reach growth driver. In highly fragmented contexts, integrating Spotify allows brands to reach complementary, non-duplicated audiences, maximizing media plan efficiency in both audio and video formats.
