In this episode, I’m joined by Yaw Antwi Owusu, @yawantwiowusu , a Product Ops leader working at the intersection of media, technology, and growth. Yaw is currently leading the commercial rollout of Adtones in Ghana, a telco-powered audio advertising platform built with MTN, and also runs Building Bytes, a podcast spotlighting Ghana’s digital economy.
We dive into the next frontier of digital marketing: Rewarded Attention and Audio Engagement. Yaw shares:
Why traditional ad formats are losing impact in Africa’s mobile-first markets
How audio and telco channels are opening new ways to engage people
Behind-the-scenes stories from launching Adtones in Ghana
The role of trust, timing, and value exchange in modern marketing
If you’re curious about the future of digital marketing in Africa, this is a must-watch conversation.
