Spotify, the world’s most popular global audio streaming subscription service, is available in Ghana, offering brands a new opportunity to reach millions of engaged listeners through its innovative and creative ad-supported free tier. Ad Dynamo will serve as Spotify’s local advertising sales partner. Advertisers can also sign up for the waitlist for the platform’s self-serve channel, Spotify Ad Studio, beginning today.

 

Available for free to all in Ghana since February 23, Spotify offers the best listening experience for local and international music of over 70 million tracks across thousands of devices. This makes it simple for people to soundtrack every moment of their lives as they workout, cook, entertain, study, and everything in between, wherever they are. This streaming behavior is the foundation of Spotify’s Streaming Intelligence, its unique first-party data and insights that are based on users’ streaming behavior. For advertisers, this presents an unparalleled opportunity to reach engaged listeners with the right messages in the right context.

 

Since launch, Spotify has partnered with a limited selection of brands to advertise on Spotify Free in the region. These partners are Telkom Kenya Limited, East African Breweries Limited in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, Guinness Nigeria Limited in Nigeria, and Guinness Ghana Breweries in Ghana.
