Why Should Your Business Engage with our Readers?

- Investment Community. In a survey of our readers and subscribers in the Diaspora, 80% of respondents plan to return to work in Africa within the next 2 years. Our readers have a long-term interest in pursuing business, investment and career progression as a means of returning home.
- Educated Talent. Black Africans are one of the fastest growing of ethnic minority groups in the UK, having more than doubled in size between 1991 and 2001. A recent census report reveals that black Africans are now the most highly educated members of British society, with over 26% holding academic qualifications higher than "A" or college levels, in comparison with only 13.4% for white adults in British society.
- Aspiring Market. In 2002, 44% of 18 year old Black African students were working towards a qualification compared with 18% of White students and 32% Black Caribbean.
- Diversity Business Benefits. Companies in the UK have reported an increase of up to 30% in those businesses where their staff more closely reflects the ethnicity of the local customer base. Our readers offer your business experienced talent that – quite literally - speaks the language of your customers.
We work closely with our clients to design an advertising package that will impact on your target market and take account of your budgetary constraints.
