How Boomplay Rallied Support for Africa During the Olympics

Back home during the Paris Olympic Games, Africa’s premier music streaming platform, Boomplay, rallied fans’ support for the athletes via a campaign dubbed ‘Rhythm of Champions’.

This year’s Olympic Games was an eventful one for Africa as it had a colourful representation of athletes from all over the continent carrying the flag of their respective countries high and with great honour. 

The campaign made use of artist collaboration to connect music fans to games and employed promotional activities and online engagements to highlight the diverse sporting disciplines that African athletes participated in while displaying their favourite songs.

Featuring a mix of high-flying and top emerging African artistes, the ‘Rhythm of Champions’ campaign also had specially curated Olympics-themed playlists by the artists which inspired national pride and spurred their country athletes onto victory.
