Mobile app consumption in Africa took flight during the pandemic as app installs increased 41% from the first half of 2020 to the first half of 2021, according to industry estimates. Some of the most popular homegrown apps such as Takealot, Mr D and Halan have revolutionized mobile-first experiences for Africans, who spend over five hours daily on their mobiles consuming several app content.<\/p>\n<p>MAAS is already a platform of choice for many of the leading African advertisers who have launched successful user acquisition campaigns to lead their market growth. With a diversified technology offered under one single platform, MAAS helps app advertisers to acquire quality users at scale, across directly integrated publishers, programmatic platforms, and relevant app recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMAAS has been a long-standing partner for us for our performance marketing goals and I congratulate them for their official launch in the African market. The insights-led platform has also helped us to make quick decisions in real-time, whether it is creative or KPI optimization. And I am sure many more advertisers will be able to benefit from the platform\u2019s presence here,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kwezingcukana\/\">Kwezi Ngcukana<\/a>, Head of Growth at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrdfood.com\/#greeting\">Mr D Food<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To lead the platform&#8217;s growth in the region, MAAS has also announced the appointment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ddecanio\/\">Daniele De Canio<\/a> as the Business Director for the African market. De Canio is an experienced AdTech and sales leader with over a decade of experience in media and specializes in the African market, having worked for companies such as OMG Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on his appointment, De Canio said: \u201cThe African app advertising space is at a unique standpoint, and advertisers in the continent can make the most of this unique opportunity with MAAS\u2019 one-stop-shop technology that makes it easier to navigate the AdTech maze with exclusive pool of supply channels, transparent reporting and insights. I am excited to join the MAAS team and drive business growth in Africa to steer the platform\u2019s expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the launch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ankitrawal?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAFo9hUBWJ19UGW2AcOqsQbD3N7JxXdADV4&amp;lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3BUZ%2Bbe6DiS%2F2a1MA%2FYU6G5A%3D%3D\">Ankit Rawal<\/a>, VP &#8211; Sales &amp; Marketing (INTL), <a href=\"https:\/\/maasplatform.io\/\">MAAS<\/a>, said: \u201cMobile marketing in Africa has grown in leaps and bounds and I have been lucky to witness that change in the last 15 years working with clients and partners in this region.
