Challenge
The challenge was to develop a platform that would resonate with the growing trend of audio storytelling in Africa. This platform aimed to connect storytellers from the continent with a wider audience, focusing on delivering content in voices and languages that reflected the diverse realities of its listeners. The task was compounded by the need to cater to an audience increasingly reliant on smartphones amidst their busy lifestyles. Successfully engaging this demographic required a strategic approach that embraced the nuances of African cultures and languages while leveraging modern technology to meet the needs of mobile users.
