Spotify: Spotify at Cannes Lions

The brief

A multi-purpose brand space for the festival: meetings with partners, brand activations and private music events, all under one roof across from the beach.

The build

Over three months, with UK, French and German crews, we turned a former restaurant into Spotify’s home for the week. It had a stage for performances and talks, and a white installation wall used for projection mapping. The program included Spotify’s CEO, Kygo, Mark Ronson and many others.

The hard part

Getting European fabricators to deliver at the level Spotify expected, while working across three countries’ crews and building practices. Spotify was still a young, pre-IPO company with many stakeholders, and each of them needed to be happy with the result.

Outcome

We kept producing for Spotify for several more years.
