Mdundo.com continues to face challenges within its two main revenue streams:
Advertising Business: The drop in display advertising price, particularly in Nigeria, has prompted the advertising sales team to shift focus towards selling performance-based campaigns directly to clients, bypassing traditional ad networks, and to pursue long-term strategic campaigns with key brand partners that have a strong association with music. While these efforts are expected to increase sales size, they are characterized by longer sales cycles compared to routine media purchase.
Subscription Business: The team is working closely with telecommunication partners to resolve ongoing billing challenges and is concurrently evaluating alternative payment methods to reduce dependency on telco billing while pursuing more strategic engagement with existing telecommunication partners. This includes early-stage partnerships like the one launched with MiniPay in March 2025, enabling music access directly via digital wallets. Although the alternative payments market across Africa is still maturing, it is growing rapidly and represents a key strategic area for future monetization. In addition, the company launched a subscription service for customers outside of Africa, the service provides customers with access to an ad-free service.
The company remains confident in the long-term growth potential of the African digital economy and sees significant future opportunities to increase user value and monetization across the continent as digital infrastructure, payment solutions, and brand investment continue to evolve.
The company remains focused on growing its paying user base across key markets by expanding partnerships and monetization opportunities, maintaining tight cost control to strengthen financial sustainability, and developing diaspora-focused music offerings aimed at audiences located outside of Africa to tap into higher-value markets.
The company is releasing the full annual report for financial year 2024/25 on September 25th 2025.
