The Messaging Platform & Tooling Product Area powers and curates high-quality communications that add meaningful value to the Spotify listener. We enable 500+ message operators to reach over 1 billion Spotify listeners and creators each year via email, push or in app messages. Our unique platform enables operators to build their message and audience via our creative editing tools, order translations and then schedule the message delivery using their chosen channel. The platform is the epicenter for communication from Spotify to its listeners. The Message Experience team aims to deliver innovative messaging formats and channels that reach Spotify users at the right place, at the right time.
