Background

Before the emergence of JOOX, Tencent had been owning QQ Music, one of the largest music streaming and download service in China. In 2015, they introduced JOOX as their expansion of music services to overseas market instead of Mainland China.

Instead of providing free services by playing audio ads to users like Spotify, another major music service, JOOX focused on banner ads, splash ads and other advertisements methods such as category playlists and in-app skins. They claimed it as a success.
