According to Audiomack, the opening of a Nigeria office would only feel like poetic justice as unlike other streaming giants that snub most of Africa, Audiomack has embraced Africa the most and that gesture has been rewarded with 1600% in its total plays from Africa. The new office will be headed by industry pros, Adeyemi Adetunji (head of operations), Charlotte Bwana (media partnership and business development) and Olive Uche (content strategy).
