Display advertising and clearly labelled brand partnerships across our editorial sections

Why advertise with The Marketplace

The Marketplace publishes Africa-focused reporting and features across Billionaires, Markets, Enterprise, Frontier, Culture, Influencers, and Lifestyle. Advertising can be placed alongside relevant editorial environments without changing or influencing the independent coverage around it.

Commercial placements are kept clearly separate from editorial work in line with our editorial standards.

Available ad formats

Our current site layout supports the following standard display formats. Placement availability varies by page, device, campaign timing, and inventory:

  • Leaderboard (728 × 90) — desktop display placement on selected editorial pages.
  • Billboard (970 × 250) — high-impact wide-format placement used in selected page and campaign positions.
  • Medium Rectangle (300 × 250) — sidebar and in-article placement where the layout supports it.
  • Mobile Leaderboard (320 × 60) — compact responsive placement for smaller screens.

Other campaign integrations can be discussed where they fit the site cleanly and do not compromise editorial usability or reader trust.

Editorial environments

Campaigns can be aligned with the section most relevant to the advertiser's message: Billionaires, Markets, Enterprise, Frontier, Culture, Influencers, or Lifestyle. This provides contextual placement without making unsupported claims about individual readers, purchasing power, geography, or demographics.

Where audience or traffic figures are included in a proposal or media kit, they should be drawn from current site analytics for the relevant reporting period rather than treated as permanent figures on this page.

Clearly labelled sponsored or partner content can be considered as part of a commercial campaign. Sponsored material is identified as commercial content and remains separate from independent editorial decision-making. Payment for advertising or sponsored content does not secure favourable editorial coverage.

How to book

To request rates, confirm available inventory, or discuss a campaign, send us your brand name, campaign objective, preferred section or placement, desired dates, creative dimensions, and destination URL. We can then prepare the appropriate proposal based on current availability.
