解码巴西播客听众
导言
挖掘播客洞察力的力量
As the world’s leading music streaming service, Spotify boasts a massive global footprint with over 678 million users, including 268+ million premium subscribers across 180+ markets. Recognizing the growing importance of podcasts and aiming to deeply understand Brazilian listener preferences, Spotify joined forces with Nielsen. This effort involved a Nielsen Emerging Custom study with the key goal of analyzing podcast trends to optimize Spotify’s content and identify opportunities to expand its catalog or tailor existing offerings to better resonate with the market.
目标
了解巴西播客听众
Spotify’s aim was clear: gain a real competitive edge in Brazil’s podcast scene. To achieve this, they sought Nielsen’s expertise to analyze listener habits in detail, pinpoint emerging trends, and establish advertising metrics for optimized performance, considering relevant information for the future of this format.
挑战
超越宽泛的数据
Navigating Brazil’s dynamic podcast landscape posed a key challenge for Spotify’s marketing team, as they aimed to gain deeper insights through granular data needed for strategic decisions. To build a truly data-driven approach, Spotify engaged Nielsen for a tailored study designed to deliver an in-depth understanding of Brazilian podcast listeners and their behaviors.
解决方案
Nielsen’s tailored podcast measurement
To address Spotify’s need for granular podcast insights, Nielsen deployed its Emerging Custom solution in August 2024. This involved robust quantitative methodology, featuring custom-designed questionnaires crafted to uncover specific consumption behaviors. A representative online panel of 1,500 Brazilian men and women, aged 18-30 across all socioeconomic levels nationwide, was recruited. Crucially, respondents were filtered to include active podcast listeners on Spotify and another audio platform (at least twice weekly), ensuring the data directly reflected heavy users of podcasts.
