According to Rosy Fynn, Airtel Marketing Director, “Airtel Ghana is dedicated to expanding its products across multiple platforms and connecting customers with entertainment on-the-go. The app was created with lots of input from customers and was designed specifically to provide a mobile hub of entertainment and content. The result is a classic movie experience that is more in-depth, immersive and enriching than anything found on the Ghanaian market.” She further mentioned that “The app also provides the most robust collection of fully curated movie content with in-depth background information including cast & crew lists, synopses, and a lot more, right at the user’s fingertips”.
