She also supervises Spotify’s other global tentpoles and franchises, such as the Spotify Supper series which has helped to influence millions in won revenue for Spotify’s advertising business. In addition, Keyana’s team executes Spotify O&O events and content to celebrate and promote the artists, creators, and tools available on Spotify’s platform - all in support of Spotify’s mission. Recently Keyana and her team have launched two new offerings that further extend on-platform media buys and support brand music strategies with a Branded Live Event offering and AUX.    Keyana has spent her career in production with a focus on media and entertainment brands, executing both B2B and B2C activations and content.
