“Good enough music
with zero effort”
Music choice, discovery
and curation
Based on [ EVIDENCE ] we
expect that Making [ CHANGE ]
will cause [ EFFECT ]
Based on observation of people
struggling to navigate, we expect that
making navigation more accessible
will drive user engagement
H Y P O T H E T I C A L H Y P O T H E S I S
Design principles
Content first
People come to hear music,
prioritise that above all else.
Be alive
When there’s always something to do
and about to happen, people will return.
Get familiar
Personalise the experience, humanise Spotify,
and people will engage and have fun.
Do less
Music should feel effortless.
Stay authentic
We stand behind what we say,
so always deliver on a promise.
Lagom
Through craftsmanship and our attention
to detail we strive towards perfect balance.
