Guaranteed Campaign Updates: Priority vs. Standard

Written by Jiana
Updated this week

Starting April 15, 2026, weโ€™re introducing two new guaranteed campaign types: Priority and Standard. Both offer guaranteed delivery, but they differ in how they prioritize delivery and what options are available at setup.

Note: The old "Campaign" type will be removed on July 15, 2026. Any campaigns booked using the old type will not deliver after July 14.

How priority is determined

Priority is no longer set at the order level. Instead, it is determined by which campaign type you select; Priority or Standard. If eligible, orders within a priority campaign will be given an opportunity to deliver before any orders within a standard campaign.


What both campaign types share

  • Guaranteed delivery with fixed CPM

  • Support for audio and video ad formats

  • Geotargeting (required for all campaigns โ€“ one country; city/sub-region optional)

  • Content targeting (one category at a time, up to 200 selections)

  • Audience targeting via Spotify first-party data

  • Up to 7 ad locations (1 pre, up to 5 mid, 1 post)

  • Ad position targeting (Pre, Mid, Post; slot-level targeting within Mid)

  • Competitive separation at the ad break level
