MTN Group is an African mobile network operator that provides voice, data, fintech, digital, enterprise, wholesale and API services to more than 289 million customers in 19 markets. Adbot offers AI-powered automated ad campaign management for SMEs. Using Adbot's system, businesses can get automated Google and Bing ads online in just 10 minutes, saving time and money.
How the MTN - Adbot collaboration will work
The release says as of today, MTN MSME customers can now access AI-powered Google Ads through the MTN Google Thryve Bundle via this partnership.
The collaboration will empower SMEs to enhance their online visibility, taking advantage of the Thryve Google Ads Bundle, which provides 1Gb of data, a minimum of 10 website conversions and 500 ad views on Google.
