Do more with your TVC on Spotify
Mumbai: When the BBC’s much-awaited ‘Seven Worlds, One Planet’ documentary series with the legendary David Attenborough was set to be released, the studio wanted to extend its campaign reach and amplify its video content to the best extent possible to make it more effective. To do this, it turned to Spotify. And needless to say, BBC achieved what it wanted and more. Spotify created a whole series of content that included 3D audio soundscapes and video content that ran in an enhanced playlist, and on display assets across mobile and desktop, amplifying the campaign, and all this using only existing BBC campaign assets!
Make your TV commercial do more, a lot more
If you’re wondering how you can make your TVC do more, just ask yourself a couple of questions.
Can a TV commercial be more than just a visual advertisement?
Can it evolve and become a multi-format campaign on its own and turbocharge the reach and effectiveness of your campaign?
The short answer is – YES. How? Bring your TVC to Spotify.
Once upon a time, evenings and nights created opportunities for brands in the form of primetime TV. But today, with the increase in the usage of mobile devices and the rise of streaming platforms, there has been a drastic shift in viewership away from the ‘TV’ in TVC. The new at-home audience has changed its routines of media consumption and television viewing. All the more reason for brands to opt for newer avenues to ensure that every bit of their communication (and budget) goes a long way. This is exactly what Spotify gives brands: a way to create a complete multi-format campaign using existing assets to deliver the brand message engagingly and effectively to an all-new audience.
Extend into screen-less moments
Music is a large part of the current streaming trends, and Indian consumers spend 19 hours per week on digital audio platforms1. And for 80 per cent of this time, listeners can’t be reached through visual media. Spotify’s streaming intelligence knows when the screen is in view and when it is pure audio.
For a generation on the go, the power of audio goes a long way in telling a story and building an impression. In our Culture Next report, 56 per cent of Gen Zs say that screen-less moments offer a nice escape from a world of visual overload2.
With no extra production, brands can add to the audience’s journey and echo the message from the TV ad. Running both video and audio increases ad recall by 90 per cent and results in a 2.2x increase in brand awareness3. With both formats, brands can express a holistic and impactful story to listeners. The campaign on Spotify will be aligned with the brand’s main messaging, with multi-format storytelling to increase reach and frequency.
Create a whole-new multi-format Spotify campaign from your existing TVC
No additional production, no extra shoots, and no additional brainstorming. Just reach out to Spotify and consider your campaign as good as done. Spotify has a crew ready to convert your TV ad, script, and visual assets into impactful storytelling formats and packages.
These packages are customisable and consist of audio ads, display homepage takeovers, mobile display overlays, and display leader boards.
All you need is your existing video assets, brand identity & logos, and an e-mail to spotify-advertising-india@spotify.com, and your Spotify campaign is ready to go. So bring your TVC to Spotify and try something different, something better!

Happy Pawdcast launches merchandise with The Souled Store
Season 2 success leads to co-branded line celebrating pet-parent bond.
MUMBAI: The Happy Pawdcast just gave fans something to wag their tails about because when your favourite pet show gets merch, even the couch starts feeling like a runway. Building on the momentum of Season 2 which reached over 14 million pet lovers, clocked more than 20,000 hours of content consumption and engaged over 23,000 users, The Happy Pawdcast has teamed up with The Souled Store for an exclusive co-branded merchandise collection. The line translates the podcast’s emotional core into wearable designs that celebrate the everyday bond between pets and their parents.
Hosted by Sonali Bendre and Icy Behl, Season 2 featured candid conversations with celebrity pet parents including Remo D’Souza, Diana Penty, Kubbra Sait, Rohan Joshi, Karan Wahi, Tusshar Kapoor and Amala Akkineni. The episodes tackled responsible adoption, stray welfare, pet emotional well-being and debunked common care myths, earning strong resonance across digital platforms.
Sonali Bendre said, “Season 2 reaffirmed how deeply people connect with stories around pets, responsibility, and companionship. This collaboration with The Souled Store is a natural extension of that bond, taking the conversations beyond the screen and turning shared emotions into something tangible for pet parents.”
Rose Audio Visuals head of marketing & branded content Megha H Desai added, “With Season 2, The Happy Pawdcast evolved from a content property into a strong, community-led IP. The collaboration with The Souled Store reflects our approach to building meaningful extensions around our shows where audience insight, brand alignment, and scale come together.”
The Souled Store co-founder Vedang Patel noted, “Pet parenting today is as much about identity and expression as it is about care and responsibility. This collaboration allowed us to tap into a deeply engaged, emotionally invested community and co-create designs that feel authentic and accessible.”
Produced by Rosepod (the podcasting division of Rose Audio Visuals), the merchandise marks the podcast’s shift from audio-video content into a broader lifestyle IP, while aligning with The Souled Store’s focus on pop-culture-led, community-first products and its animal welfare initiatives through World For All.
In a pet-parent world where love often comes with a leash and a hoodie, The Happy Pawdcast isn’t just telling stories anymore, it’s letting fans wear them, proving the bond between humans and their fur-babies deserves more than likes, it deserves to be flaunted.
