Bango partners with music streaming service Pandora
Delivering Pandora subscriptions to customers in the USA
Cambridge UK, 3 July 2018 - Bango (AIM: BGO), the mobile
commerce company, has partnered with Pandora (NYSE: P), the largest
music streaming service in the U.S., to power subscriptions through
Pandora reseller partners. This service is initially available on a
U.S.-based wireless network provider, enabling Pandora to grow the
subscriber base for their leading music service.
Eligible customers can select a bundled subscription to Pandora
Premium to add to their plan. AT&T customers are the first to
receive this offer. With Pandora Premium, users can search and play
any song or album, with unlimited skips / replays, no ads, higher
quality audio, offline listening, the ability to create playlists,
and access to Pandora's newly launched Personalized
Soundtracks.
The past few years have seen a huge change in how people get
their entertainment, with a dramatic shift toward online streaming
services to access the latest entertainment. The paid subscription
model has supported the growth in these services. According to the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the majority of
the 16.5% rise in music revenue in the U.S. in 2017 is due to music
streaming services.
"Driving subscriber growth is a key focus area for us this
year," said Dave Geary, VP of Business Development, Pandora. "We're
excited to partner with Bango to enable listeners' seamless sign-up
to Pandora's subscription music services through Bango's network of
telco and other billing partners."
"Bango is excited that Pandora has chosen to use the Bango
Platform to broaden their reach through partnership with
resellers." commented Bango CEO Ray Anderson. "We look forward to
building on this initial launch to enable Pandora to grow new
subscribers in the era of streaming services."
