Bango inks deal with streaming giant Spotify

Mobile commerce company Bango has entered into a business partnership with music streaming giant Spotify, it announced on Tuesday, in a bid to increase access to the audio streaming subscription service.

In addition, Bango claimed its data insights would support the targeting of specific customers with new offers, to generate higher customer adoption.

“Bango is delighted that Spotify, the global leader in audio streaming subscription services, is now benefiting from intelligent Bango Resale technology to attract new customers,said Bango chief executive officer Ray Anderson.

“Bango is excited to support its goal to unlock the potential of human creativity by reaching out to more customers across the world.”
