The digital economy is rapidly expanding across Africa, and a new strategic initiative is set to accelerate this growth in Côte d’Ivoire, Mauritius, Seychelles and Réunion. Through new authorised representation, businesses in these regions now have a dedicated in-market access point for leading digital advertising products.


This expansion equips local advertisers and agencies with direct commercial support, strategic guidance, and dedicated account management to maximise their digital marketing efforts.



The Hub-and-Spoke Support Model


To support this market expansion, a centralised Centre of Excellence (CoE) has been established. Operating on a hub-and-spoke model, the centralised hub provides high-level technical capabilities, while dedicated in-market teams act as the spokes.


This infrastructure offers advertisers immediate access to:


  • Campaign strategy and optimisation.

  • Advanced conversion measurement.

  • Technical support and troubleshooting.

  • Best-practice training tailored to local market dynamics.


By combining top-tier technical expertise with deep local knowledge, businesses are empowered with the tools and partnerships needed to scale effectively.



The Strategic Value of Certified Advertising Partners


For businesses looking to maximise their advertising Return on Investment (ROI), collaborating with a certified advertising partner offers several distinct advantages over managing campaigns independently:


Advanced Insights and Education

Certified agencies employ strategists who are rigorously tested and verified across multiple channels, including Search, Display, and Video. Furthermore, partners often receive early access to product betas, allowing your business to utilise advanced features before the wider market.

Proven Campaign Performance

To maintain official partner status, agencies must consistently meet high-performance standards—such as sustaining a minimum 70% optimisation score across managed accounts. This guarantees that your campaigns are actively monitored and optimised for continuous growth.

Dedicated Support and Resources

Certified partners have direct access to priority support channels, meaning technical and policy issues are resolved swiftly. Additionally, partners can often secure co-funded promotional credits for newly qualified accounts, giving your initial campaigns a valuable budget boost.

Trust and Credibility

Authorised partners are vetted by the advertising platforms themselves and are permitted to display official verification badges, ensuring you are working with a credible, high-performing agency.



What specific challenges is your team currently facing when trying to optimise digital ad spend in emerging markets?

  • A working account and a well-optimised one aren't the same thing. Request an audit and we'll show you - in plain numbers - what's working, what's leaking budget, and where the easiest wins are.
  • Start with an audit, not a guess. In one sitting, we'll walk through your account and hand you a prioritised list of what to fix first - no obligation to work with us afterward.
  • We can benchmark how much existing search demand your account is missing due to budget caps or account structure - with real numbers from your own account, not a generic industry stat.
  • The 30-Day Conversion Sprint gets you a full audit in Week 1, tracking live by Week 2, and a first optimisation cycle with reported uplift by Week 4 - on one account, before you commit to anything bigger.
  • If something above sounds familiar, it's worth a quick look at your actual numbers rather than guessing. A short conversation with a market lead usually tells you whether it's a five-minute fix or something bigger.
