Pandora Supports Policies That:
The rise of digital streaming and other innovative technologies have transformed how fans and music creators connect, bringing benefits to industry and consumers alike. Now more than ever, the music industry must work together to modernize the way we license music so that artists, songwriters, platforms, and all players in the industry benefit.
Over a decade ago, Pandora launched the Music Genome Project – the most comprehensive analysis of music ever taken. Today, billions of data points help us understand our users’ preferences, enabling us to bring our users the best, most personalized listening experience out there. We also offer advertisers the opportunity to deliver messages to our listeners using a combination of audio, display and video advertisements. Pandora is committed to working collaboratively with key stakeholders in the technology and media industries, policymakers, and partner organizations to continue to provide a brand safe environment for advertisers and a trusted service for users.
Pandora is committed to building and fostering a diverse workforce that is a true reflection of music – empowering, inspiring, and unique – where all of our employees feel at home to perform their best and be themselves. Pandora continues to make progress towards its North Star goals for diversity, which include specific goals to increase both the percentage of US employees of color from 35% to 45% and gender, racial & ethnic promotion parity by 2020; but we know we have more work to do. Partnering with policymakers, civil society, and others, Pandora is working to make these goals a reality both at Pandora and across the music and tech industries.
