Tom accentuates: “What is massively exciting for us at Spotify is that there is so much more room to grow in the UK and Ireland. With one of the world’s biggest music markets as well as the home of numerous world-renowned artists and emerging talent, the UK holds a remarkably vital and unique position in the global ecosystem of music. He continues: “Here in the UK and Ireland, we are particularly proud to be a catalyst for creativity, central to creating and shaping connections between creators and fans, democratising music and audio, and making culture accessible to all.” “We are the number one music platform in the UK and Ireland today – and this is an incredibly important market for Spotify globally,” says Tom. The UK market is especially significant for Spotify’s strategic development, as it is considered a priority in terms of both revenue and subscribers. Figures including 232 million monthly active users, 109 million Premium subscribers and over 13 billion euros paid to rights holders, are self-evident proof of Spotify’s success. Spotify is currently present in 79 markets world-wide, making the streaming platform one of the most international companies in the world. “Ultimately, what we are passionate about is unlocking the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it,” says Tom. Spotify was founded in 2006, with the aspiration of making music accessible – everywhere and at all times, while constantly discovering new music and audio. “As one of Spotify’s biggest markets, it makes perfect sense to expand our team here in the UK,” says Tom Connaughton, Managing Director of Spotify in the UK and Ireland.
