PARIS--(Business Wire)--
MXP4, the leading developer of interactive music solutions, and Sony today
announced the launch of an interactive music ad campaign for Mark Ronson on
Spotify. The campaign, powered by MXP4`s technology, enables Spotify users to
play with and mix three Ronson tracks - including his first single Bang Bang
Bang. The campaign is set to run in the UK, Sweden, Norway, France and the
Netherlands.

The MXP4 app will be featured within the Spotify lightbox ad unit and on the
Spotify blog, and uses MXP4`s interactive technology to enable music fans to
play with three Ronson tracks, Bang Bang Bang, The Bike Song and Somebody To
Love Me, in a game-like fashion. The individual elements of each song can be
turned on and off as each track plays, allowing users to create their own unique
versions of the songs. The app will also be launched on Mark Ronson`s Facebook
page, allowing his fans to share the app with their Facebook friends - play with
it here: http://bit.ly/mxp4spotify.

Albin Serviant, MXP4 CEO, said: "We`re hugely excited to be launching our first
interactive music ad units with Spotify. Our social music gaming apps are a
great leap forward from traditional audio and banner advertising, offering an
immersive game-like experience that`s been proven to keep music fans engaged for
minutes at a time. Music services like Spotify are becoming ever more social,
while music fans continue to share content across multiple platforms, and MXP4
is well placed to leverage that engagement for brands and advertisers through
its social gaming apps, as this campaign proves."

Will Hope, Senior Partner Account Manager at Spotify, said: "It's great to
integrate MXP4 into our advertising platform and to support yet another
innovative artist marketing campaign with Sony Music. MXP4's interactive app is
such a good tool to engage our users with new music, whilst Spotify offers the
ideal environment and audience."

Louise Gitlin, New Services Account Manager, Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd.,
said: "We think this promotion is a perfect fit for Mark given his prominent
position as a DJ and producer. The app is something new and innovative and it is
a great way of having Spotify users interact with his music."

Whether developed to promote brands or bands, MXP4's interactive music solutions
including Web and iPhone apps have a proven ability to build fan engagement,
encourage viral distribution and ultimately drive sales. Internal statistics
show that fans use interactive music for an average of 9.1 minutes per track,
drive 75% of traffic virally and click through to purchase as much as 3% of the
time.
