⭐️ Unlocking Spotify Algorithms: Proven Strategies from 2 Years of Boosting Artist Visibility on Streaming Platforms
Without further ado, here are the main takeaways about all the things we learned on this journey, from the most obvious to the most advanced.

⭐️ Spotify launches in-house music consultancy Aux
Spotify has launched an in-house music consultancy called Aux that will guide brands on how to use music in advertising and pair them with musicians. Aux offers brands a new way to reach the hundreds of millions of people who stream music, while giving emerging talent new monetization options and creating a new revenue stream for Spotify’s ad business.
⭐️ Use ‘Spicetify’ to Give Spotify a Visual Makeover
Spotify isn't all that customizable straight out of the box. The home screen is populated by a combination of your recent listening and whatever the company is hoping to promote at the moment (right now it's audiobooks). There's not a lot you can do to change how the app looks and behaves.
