Podcast appearances and mentions of Martin Lorentzon

Spotify ist die größte Streaming-Plattform für Musik und Podcasting weltweit - eine Plattform, die Daniel Ek und Martin Lorentzon 2006 in Schweden gegründet haben. Es ist eines der wenigen europäischen Technologieunternehmen, das weltweit ganz vorne mitspielt und 2024 erstmals schwarze Zahlen veröffentlicht hat. Der Schweizer Yves Brunschwiler, seit mehr als zwei Jahren Head of Sales für Central Europe mit Sitz in Deutschland, erzählt im Interview, wie Spotify diesen Erfolg geschafft hat. "Spotify hatte und wird immer die User Experience im Fokus haben", betont er im Podcast mit dem Marketing Club Österreich (MCÖ). Im Zentrum der Plattform, die aktuell etwa 626 Millionen User verzeichnet, mehr als ein Drittel davon sind zahlende Premiumnutzer, bleibt Audio. "Musik steht im Zentrum. Durch erfolgreiche Zukäufe und interne Weiterentwicklung ist nun auch Podcasting und der Markt der Audiobooks Teil unseres Core Businesses", so Brunschwiler. Als Head of Sales gibt Brunschwiler Einblick in die Entwicklung im Abonnenten-, Marketing- und Sales-Geschäft der Plattform, spricht über kreative Ad-Produkte und verrät Tipps und Tricks für User, um neue Musik zu entdecken, die dem eigenen Geschmack entspricht.  Auch über Herausforderungen, den Hype rund um Podcasting, die Einbindung von Video und die Kritik an Spotify hat Birgit Schaller, MCÖ-Podcasterin und Gründerin der Contentagentur BiSness, mit Yves Brunschwiler gesprochen.

The latest earnings report from Spotify provides a clear snapshot of the company's performance in 2023. During the earnings call on Tuesday, February 6th, 2024, CEO Daniel Ek articulated his optimism about the company's future while reflecting on its past successes. Ek noted that Spotify had made strides in important areas, including monthly active users (MAUs), subscriber counts, and revenue growth. Reinforcing this positive trend, he indicated that efficiency measures implemented across different business aspects, including podcasting, employee management, and cloud costs, have resulted in smaller cost structures. He also expressed confidence in the continuation of these trends in 2024. A review of Spotify's recent business activities suggests alignment with the emphasized themes from the earnings call- user engagement, personalization, and technological innovation. The company's investment in product innovation reflects a consistent strategic direction. The usage of AI-powered features for enhancing user experience and the development of a new subscription tier for improved audio quality and personalized playlist creation stand as influential factors corroborating Spotify's commitment to technological evolution and user satisfaction. Moreover, Ek's statement on the earnings call further underlines Spotify's ongoing resource optimization efforts, intending not to compromise on growth but rather to solve substantial consumer and creator-related problems. While diversification is not one of their stated strategies, the company's co-founder Martin Lorentzon's investment in sports venture Padium could suggest an interest in this direction. On a cautionary note, the company acknowledges potential risks associated with the integration of advanced technologies such as AI. The company's business activities offer suitable opportunities for case studies that could provide an in-depth understanding of Spotify's business operation and its relation to the latest earnings call's themes. These may include scrutinizing AI implementation challenges, assessing new monetization strategies like the new subscription tier, and exploring AI's impact on listener experience. In conclusion, Spotify demonstrated robust performance in 2023, which, according to the company's call, resulted from strategic measures to accelerate user engagement, technological innovation, and personalization. Anticipated growth in 2024, based on these strategies and the achieved efficiencies, looks plausible, albeit conditional on the company's ability to maintain the operational momentum and address emerging challenges, particularly those associated with AI implementation.

How to go from the Swedish housing projects to billionaire CEO of Spotify. In this new episode Steven sits down with the co-founder and CEO of Spotify, Daniel Ek. Daniel Ek is a Swedish entrepreneur who started his first company in 1997 at just 14 years old. He eventually dropped out of college and founded the online marketing firm, Advertigo, which he sold in 2006 to the Swedish company Tradedoubler at 23 years old. Coming out of early retirement, Daniel founded Spotify alongside Martin Lorentzon in 2006. In this conversation Daniel and Steven discuss topics, such as: His childhood in a single parent household The importance of his mother in his success Growing up in the Swedish projects Coming from a musical family Overcoming being an introvert His ability to adapt to changing situations Not fitting in when he was growing up How his difference helped in his later success Starting his first company while at school How people worry more about failing then succeeding Why effort can't always beat talent People not understanding what it's actually like to be a billionaire How spare time is now his most important currency Why the idea of success through University is outdated What football taught him about business Retiring at 23 years old Why he found being rich and successful depressing How the idea of ‘why-not' helped to create Spotify Realising that he had approached his career in the wrong way How Spotify nearly collapsed 4 times The importance of culture in organisations Why you should take the risk of betting on yourself Follow Daniel: Twitter: https://bit.ly/465g8WM Watch the episodes on Youtube - https://g2ul0.app.link/3kxINCANKsb My new book!

Fight for the Future's Director, Evan Greer, and Campaigns and Communications Director, Lia Holland, are both digital rights activists who have been active in the music industry. Based on their experience they talk about the need to rethink how artists can be fairly remunerated and the disconnect between the interest of big corporate entities, claiming to speak on behalf of artists, versus the actual needs of creators, especially those that have been marginalized by the music industry. They warn against the excesses from corporations and governments in trying to enforce copyright through massive and automated Internet censorship.

I veckans avsnitt gästas vi av David Zaudy och Simon Kjellström som tillsammans grundat investmentbolaget Cervantes Capital där Martin Lorentzon är största aktieägare. Förvaltarduon berättar i podden att de valt att fokusera på små och medelstora svenska bolag eftersom de anser att den sektorn är underanalyserad och det är där Zaudy och Kjellström har sin edge. Långsiktighet, värdering och avkastning på kapital är viktiga parametrar för förvaltarna och vi går igenom exemplen Hexatronic, Scandi Standard, Christian Berner och Micro Systemation som är bolag de investerat i. ”Informationen i denna podd ska inte ses som investeringsråd. Tänk på att placeringar i värdepapper alltid medför en risk. Historisk avkastning är ingen garanti för framtida avkastning. De pengar som placeras i värdepapper kan både öka och minska i värde och det är inte säkert att du får tillbaka hela det insatta kapitalet. Det är viktigt att fortlöpande bevaka sitt innehav och vid behov ta initiativ till åtgärder för att minska risken för förlust.” http://www.paretosec.com/download/compliance/disclaimer.pdf

Fifteen years ago in Stockholm, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon had a big idea. The music industry was playing a desperate game of whack-a-mole with piracy via file sharing but this was proving as hopeless as the War on Drugs. Why not, they thought, use the new torrenting technologies to bring piracy in from the cold and make themselves rich in the process? In 2006, they founded Spotify with a handful of engineers, no licences and no revenue. Today, Spotify is the world's most popular audio streaming subscription service with 345 million users and a market capitalization of $60 billion. How did the shy computer nerd and hyperactive investor tame hostile music labels and withstand competition from US tech giants more than ten times their size? Still struggling to achieve sustained profitability in cut-throat market segments, will Ek's latest foray into podcasting eventually free Spotify of its dependency on the music labels or suffer the same fate as Spotify TV? The Spotify Play: How CEO and Founder Daniel Ek Beat Apple, Google, and Amazon in the Race for Audio Dominance (Diversion Books, 2021) is the new English-language update of Spotify Untold – their 2019 Swedish business biography – Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud put Europe's only tech giant under the microscope using information gleaned from interviews more than 80 sources and a mountain of public and private documents. The book has been translated into 15 languages and will soon be turned into a Netflix Originals miniseries. Sven Carlsson is a technology reporter at Swedish Radio and and Jonas Leijonhufvud a business journalist at Di Digital. *The authors own book recommendations are Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber by Mike Isaac (W.

In 2006, they founded Spotify with a handful of engineers, no licences and no revenue. Today, Spotify is the world's most popular audio streaming subscription service with 345 million users and a market capitalization of $60 billion. How did the shy computer nerd and hyperactive investor tame hostile music labels and withstand competition from US tech giants more than ten times their size? Still struggling to achieve sustained profitability in cut-throat market segments, will Ek’s latest foray into podcasting eventually free Spotify of its dependency on the music labels or suffer the same fate as Spotify TV? The Spotify Play: How CEO and Founder Daniel Ek Beat Apple, Google, and Amazon in the Race for Audio Dominance (Diversion Books, 2021) is the new English-language update of Spotify Untold – their 2019 Swedish business biography – Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud put Europe’s only tech giant under the microscope using information gleaned from interviews more than 80 sources and a mountain of public and private documents. The book has been translated into 15 languages and will soon be turned into a Netflix Originals miniseries. Sven Carlsson is a technology reporter at Swedish Radio and and Jonas Leijonhufvud a business journalist at Di Digital. *The authors own book recommendations are Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber by Mike Isaac (W.

I dagens avsnitt av Digitalpodden har vi vissa ljudproblem, vi beklagar detta. Spotifys grundare Martin Lorentzon gör som sin kollega Daniel Ek – och lovar att börja investera sina privata pengar i andra företag. Vi analyserar it-miljardärens nya drag. Samtidigt föll Spotifys aktie efter att streamingjätten rapporterat sitt tredje kvartal. Användartillväxten slog förväntningarna, men nu börjar marknaden oroa sig över att intäkterna per lyssnare sjunker. Vad blir Spotifys recept? Speljätten King är ett annat svenskt bolag som handlas på New York, som en del av jätten Activision Blizzard. Trots att 22 miljoner användare försvann under det tredje kvartalet förbättrade de sin rörelsemarginal till 46 procent. Candy Crush-bolaget har nu gjort en samlad rörelsevinst på 44 miljarder kronor under det senaste decenniet. Dessutom pratar vi om vår karläggning av Sveriges 40 mest lovande serieentreprenörer under 40 – och maträddarappen Karmas sexskämt som slog fel. Vår nya kollega Marianne Agazzi presenterar sig också för Digitalpoddens lyssnare. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Streamingtjänsten Spotify förändrade för alltid hur vi lyssnar på musik. P1 Kultur gästas av författarna till den första heltäckande boken bakom musikundret. För drygt 10 år sedan var det stora hotet mot musikindustrin illegal nedladdning och ett sinat intresse för att köpa plattor. Det var då Daniel Ek  tillsammans med Martin Lorentzon skapade Spotify som inte bara räddade skivbolagen från piraterna, utan också ritade  om förutsättningarna för hela musikindustrin. P1 Kultur gästas av ekonomijournalisterna Sven Carlsson och Jonas Leijonhufvud som skrivit boken "Spotify inifrån. Så blir man störst i världen." Författaren Michael Ondaatje har efter många års tystnad kommit ut med en ny roman. Jenny Teleman har läst "Lyktsken" som är en spionberättelse som utspelas i efterkrigstidens London.  Nästa vecka drar Venedigbiennalen igång och Sveriges konstnär i den Nordiska Paviljongen är i år Ingela Ihrman. Hon jobbar i gränslandet mellan skulptur, video, performance och konceptkonst.  I Venedig är det sjögräs som intresserat Ingela Ihrman till en installation som bland annat skapar länkar mellan tarmtång och människans mage och hennes hemkvarter Seved.  Cecilia Blomberg hälsade på i Ingela Ihrmans ateljé i just Malmöstadsdelen Seved tidigare i våras - då delarna till installationen fortfarande höll på att tillverkas. Vi har också besökt den stora utställningen med systrarna Jobs keramik och textil som just nu pågår på Thielska galleriet i Stockholm. Måns Hirschfeldt vandrar runt med blomsterkonstnären Gunnar Kaj som gjort presentationen med Lisbet och Gocks Jobs verk i dialog med blommor och växter. I OBS-essän skriver författaren Helena Granström om själen. Finns den och i så fall hur och är det ens rätt fråga att ställa? Programledare: Måns Hirschfeldt Producent: Cecilia Blomberg

Il giovane Daniel Ek, cresciuto in un sobborgo di Stoccolma, ha due passioni: musica e informatica. A 14 anni inizia a progettare siti web, guadagnando in poco tempo una piccola fortuna con cui apre diverse società. Per problemi con il fisco è costretto a venderle, una dopo l’altra. una mossa che lo rende ricchissimo ma depresso. È quello che confida a Martin Lorentzon, l’imprenditore che gli ha comprato una delle società precedenti. Anche Martin è un eterno insoddisfatto, alla ricerca di nuove idee su cui investire denaro ed energie; insieme guardano al panorama musicale. Ek sogna di poter ricreare l’esperienza-Napster, il servizio illegale di condivisione mp3 che aveva trasformato il nostro modo di fruire la musica. Ma Daniel e Martin non vogliono creare l’ennesimo clone: quello che hanno in mente è un servizio di streaming, legale e gratuito. Una piattaforma che oggi esiste: si chiama Spotify e nasce dalle ambizioni condivise di Daniel e Martin.

In the early 2000's, Piracy was at its peak. Many users used file sharing sites like Napster, The Pirate Bay and many others to share stolen music. This caused the music industry to lose billions of dollars in revenue each year. So in 2006, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon went out to solve this problem of piracy to help fairly compensate artists and record labels for their work.

Hon berättar om sin resa från att ha blivit vd på Edelman vid 30, gå i "tillfällig pension" vid 33 på grund av akut sorg, varför hon sålde sin bostadsrätt och brände sitt fuck-off-kapital, skiftade karriär på grund av magkänsla, skaffade en "energikalkyl" och mäter nu sin framgång i måttet "vara sams med sig själv". Hör också hur hon ser på sitt personliga varumärke, hur det är att ha Martin Lorentzon som mentor och varför hon siktar på att bli än mer excentrisk.   Linda brinner för risktagande och vikten av kvinnligt ägande, och berättar om vad hennes nystartade tankesmedja Ownershift arbetar med. Dessutom får vi en sneak peak på hur hennes techbolag Matching Id som matchar arbetsgivare med kandidater - utan "bias". See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Daniel Ek, co-founder and CEO of music streaming service Spotify. Mark Coles tracks the life of the shy Swede transforming the music industry. This week 35-year-old Daniel Ek became very, very rich when his company Spotify floated on the New York Stock Exchange - with an initial value of more than $26 billion. It's a long way from his home in a working-class suburb of Stockholm where Daniel's interest in both music and computers was piqued at an early age. He started his first businesses while a teenager, in between starring in school musicals, and earned his first fortune in his early 20s. He launched Spotify in 2006 with business partner Martin Lorentzon, with a goal to 'save the music industry' at a time when illegal downloads were eating into profits. Today Spotify has revolutionised the way we listen to music and last year Daniel Ek was named the most-powerful person in the music industry by Billboard magazine - but what does the future hold in store for the tech industry's latest billionaire?

We dive into what it all means and how we got here: from Napster to iTunes to Facebook (and even some Justin Timberlake thrown in for good measure). Acquired FM is on the scene and spinning all the hits from this new wave music industry titan!    Note: We incorrectly described Spotify CEO Daniel Ek’s ownership stake in Spotify as 25%+; that is actually his voting control. His economic ownership is 9.3%, and cofounder Martin Lorentzon’s is 12.4%.

Det var meningen att Martin Lorentzon skulle besöka podden men ställde in i sista minuten. Med Lorentzo som nu lämnar AIK efter säsongen så hade vi velat sammanfatta hans tid i AIK och säsongen 2014. Men så blev det alltså inte. Istället öppnade vi upp för lyssnarna att ringa in och ställa frågor samt sjunka till vår kanske lägsta nivå hittills i podcastens historia. 0 % hjärna och 100 % hjärta med Björn och Martin.
