B2B partnerships let brands refer their own customers to other brands with overlapping or complementary audiences. For instance, Ticketmaster partnered with Spotify — as Spotify users search for music, they can now easily see upcoming shows and purchase concert tickets within the Spotify app. This is a convenient experience for customers and a partnership that ultimately benefits both brands. Ticketmaster generates sales and Spotify is rewarded with a payout each time they refer a new customer to Ticketmaster.
