2. Localized Audio Advertising Campaigns

Advertising teams can export campaign copy, ad scripts, and call-to-action text from Spotify ad operations or campaign planning tools to Lionbridge for translation and cultural adaptation. The localized versions can then be used for regional audio ads, companion landing pages, and campaign assets.

• Enables faster launch of multilingual audio campaigns
• Improves ad relevance and compliance in local markets
• Supports regional brand consistency while adapting tone and terminology

3. Branded Playlist and Campaign Asset Localization
