Audience Development
Africa as a continent has one of the world’s youngest populations, inclined towards heavy use of digital and mobile. Internet advertising via use of social platforms has seen exponential growth, posing a challenge to traditional media advertising.
This Summit will bring together Africa’s most influential media decision-makers to focus on sustainable revenue growth, publisher–agency partnerships, and future-proof business models for news media. We want it to be a practical, peer-to-peer forum grounded in real newsroom and commercial realities.
Walk away with confidence that great journalism and content can be financially sustainable again.
