As Africa’s digital economy continues to evolve at pace, brands operating across the African continent are facing a new challenge: how to capture attention in a landscape increasingly shaped by mobile-first audiences, fragmented platforms, and rising expectations for relevance and quality.  

At She Speaks Africa, we believe that where and how you show up matters just as much as what you say. That’s why we’re proud to introduce one of the most powerful digital video advertising solutions on the continent today: Dailymotion in partnership with Canal+ Advertising.

 

A Premium Global Video Platform Delivering in Africa

Founded in 2005 and backed by decades of video expertise, Dailymotion is a global video destination offering brand-safe, high-impact advertising environments. Unlike platforms built around user-generated content, Dailymotion is designed for control, clarity, and quality giving advertisers a curated space to connect with audiences across mobile, desktop, and CTV

And it’s working in Africa.

Today, the platform reaches:

  • 130 million+ monthly unique users across the continent

  • 900 million+ potential monthly impressions

  • 360+ local and regional channels

  • Active campaigns in key markets including Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Gabon, Mali, DRC, and Madagascar

This performance shows that while Dailymotion was built for the world, its impact in Africa is clear and growing.

 

Data-Led, Audience-Centric Targeting

Dailymotion doesn’t just deliver reach; it delivers relevance. Powered by advanced AI and a proprietary ad tech stack, the platform enables brands to target audiences based on:

  • Browsing behavior

  • Demographic profiles

  • Purchase intent

  • Content engagement

This level of granularity allows brands to serve ads not only to the right people, but at the right time, on the right device, and in the right mindset.

For example, a beauty brand can reach “me time mums” deeply engaged in self-care content, while a tech company can target Gen Z gamers across mobile apps.

Measurable Results That Matter

Dailymotion’s digital campaigns don’t just reach people—they engage them. Here’s a look at the numbers:

  • 81% average View-Through Rate (VTR) (vs. 70% industry benchmark)
  • 1.5x more attention than YouTube skippable ads
  • +10-point brand lift (vs. 5-point industry average)
  • Up to +31 points in purchase intent with interactive formats
  • 1.5% average click-through rate (CTR) (vs. 0.5% benchmark)

With innovative formats like animated carousels, interactive hotspots, and call-to-action overlays, Dailymotion transforms passive views into active consumer interest.

A Safe, Transparent, Brand-Friendly Environment

In an age where media quality and safety matter more than ever, Dailymotion delivers on all fronts:

  • ✅ No SSP or intermediary fees—more of your budget goes to impact

  • 🛡️ Brand-safe inventory only—no user-generated content

  • 🔐 Third-party verification & fraud detection through trusted partners

  • 📊 Full-funnel measurement and actionable insights

 

For brands that value clarity, transparency, and performance, Dailymotion offers a smart, secure platform to scale.
