Notre Dame & Spotify: Our Playlist, Our Story
How did Notre Dame Athletics use Spotify playlists to sell tickets to their games, increase viewership on UND.com, and show Notre Dame fans and recruits the personalities behind their favorite teams and coaches? In this panel, Fighting Irish Digital Media (FIDM) and Spotify will tell you how our music partnership augmented our social media content strategy, further telling our story and increasing viewership of our teams.
In a world where every college athletics department is on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest, why focus additional efforts on Spotify, a music platform?
In this presentation we will outline the strategy and execution of our Spotify account, how we have used it to support the promotion of our teams and their events, and discuss how a partnership with a collegiate athletic brand widens the footprint of up and coming social platforms. This session is part of the brand new SXsports programming at SXSW 2014.
