Speedy Presales
Overview
This case study provides a glimpse into a selection from the numerous concepts I've crafted for Spotify Advertising while collaborating with the great team at Forever Audio. Over the years, I've been trusted to push my limits in creating these presales, which Spotify uses in their pitches to clients to sell microsites to be developed on the Spotify platform. The name of this case study is "Flash Presales" because indeed, these designs were produced in less than 4 hours. For developing these concepts in record time, I've always been supported by great copywriters and groups to brainstorm.
Problems and Challenges
Tight Time Constraints: Delivering each presale within a strict 4-hour timeframe demanded rapid ideation and execution to meet deadlines effectively.
Concept Transmission: Ensuring the designs were engaging and could effectively convey the campaign's concept within a short turnaround time was a critical challenge.
Lack of Provided Assets: The absence of provided assets necessitated sourcing suitable visuals from various online sources. Careful selection and adaptation were required to align with the campaign's requirements.
Alignment with Musical Content: Each presale needed to seamlessly integrate with Spotify's realm, incorporating musical content to enhance user engagement and alignment with the platform's identity.

Magnum: Product Matcher
Upon clicking the ad, user data is analyzed to match them with either the Magnum Starchaser or the Magnum Starlover ice cream, along with music styles that reflect the essence of the chosen ice cream.

Additionally, users can click on the toggle at the top of the microsite to "try" the other flavor and discover the associated music and ice cream elements.
