Client: Spotify
Agency: Uncommon Creative Studio, New York
Spotify's ongoing Public Playlists campaign turns real fan playlists into large-scale out-of-home creative, pairing witty, hyper-local playlist titles with imagery inspired by recognisable New York moments. The result is work that feels rooted in the culture of the city rather than created for advertising.
Lost Loved sourced and licensed the cover imagery used across the campaign's billboards and wild postings. Working to a deliberately lean budget, we found imagery that felt premium at billboard scale while keeping the licensing practical across every execution.

The sourced imagery became the playlist artwork across wheatpasted poster walls, digital billboards and out-of-home placements throughout New York. The first execution, Waiting for this since '99, launched during the Knicks' Finals run and quickly gained attention beyond the campaign itself.
