Speaking on the success of Audiomack in Africa, the continent’s team led by Vice President of Marketing Charlotte “Char” Bwana shares the company’s efforts on tailoring the platform to the needs of artists and listeners in Nigeria and across the continent.
According to Bwana, “Artists realized Audiomack was a service that could be touched rather than just existing in the cloud somewhere.”Bwana continued: “Simply being able to be on the ground and work with as many artists as possible, to know their needs and wants, helped us to scale to where we are today five years later.”
Audiomack is not resting on its laurels. Recent partnerships with multiple payment providers, including Flutterwave, MTN Nigeria, and Carry1st, Africa’s leading consumer payments provider, have increased accessibility to even more listeners in several African nations.
