MAHE Manipal goes out-of-the-box with Spotify’s Yaari Jukebox – Exchange4Media

Over the years, the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) has emerged as one of Indias leading academic and research institutions. It has been granted the Institute of Eminence status by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. When MAHE, Manipal wanted to increase awareness about its programs and go beyond traditional media channels for more effective communication (& ROI), it knew it needed to think out of the box.

The MAHE way

Learning and living at MAHE has always been about exploring one's true potential in a friendly, happy learning environment. Thus the most optimum moment to connect with potential students is when they are in their happy place. With 87% of millennials and 80% of GenZs agreeing that they feel more centered and generally happier when they listen to their favorite music, the platform of choice to connect with them had to be audio. In an age of information overload and digital distractions, GenZs especially are looking at audio to offset their digitally saturated lives.

At Spotify, listeners can be reached in their most engaged, screen-less moments when they are not available for any other forms of advertising. The Spotify team leveraged the playlist that MAHEs core TG was listening to - one that celebrates friendship, and the joie de vivre that typifies life at MAHE. This playlist is - Spotifys Yaari Jukebox. MAHE sponsored this playlist, because if the path to success for students runs through MAHE, then the way to their hearts and minds is through their favorite playlist.

Smells like teen spirit

Yaari Jukebox is a playlist owned and curated by Spotify. Its popularity can be gauged by the fact that at the time of writing this it had over 40,000 likes and is listened to on a daily basis by a loyal audience.
