UK Conservative Party to launch Spotify ad campaign

October 16th, 2009
Spotify Politician

First political campaign to appear on Spotify. Beginning next wednesday, a 40 second ad will appear on Spotify clients in England. Featuring the party’s chairman, Eric Pickels speaking about debt (I guess the countries debt, not his own). Rigt after the message users will be asked to vote Tory on next elections.

Apparently, it’s not legal to advertise on TV or radio outside the election period, so I guess this could have a relatively short life if someone decides to legislate against internet publicity outside the established period. I believe this it’s also done to draw some media attention in expense of Spotify’s credit.

Do you care if fed with political propaganda while listening to your favourite music? Maybe this is just the definitive  reason to go premium ;)
