Exclusivity From at least 5 000 companies and organisations surveyed, our research department has pre-qualified you as a Top 500 business partner. This is because you have been identified as one of the top five companies in your sector. Only the top five companies across 100 designated sectors are entitled to appear in Top 500.*

PARTNERSHIPS You will by now have noticed that we address you as a ‘partner’, not as an advertiser. There is a good reason for this. We don’t simply sell our clients space in our publication. We design a marketing solution for them. On the next page you will find a list of the range of partnering solutions we offer you. You choose from this range of options that, at one end of the partnering spectrum might be a corporate or brand ad, relying on the traditional elements of design, colour and style to make a memorable impression on your prospect, and at the other end, a text-intensive message taking the form of an advertorial.

The Profile page offers you an opportunity to provide text, data and photographic materials in accordance with a specially designed rubric that provides a quick and accessible reference to the key aspects of your business operation and value proposition. You can also write a guest column if you need to express a personal opinion about a business or a policy matter. You can achieve domination of the publication by electing to be one of our premium partners. And the communications solutions we offer stretch to other related areas – to our website, for instance, to our interactive CDs, and to our top performance awards programme. Finally, as our business partner, have the right to request a benchmarking report, which shows exactly how your company stacks up against your competitors. But let our sales executive advise you on the partnering possibilities we offer.

*Important note: While every reasonable effort will be made to adhere to a maximum of only 5 companies per sector, some sectors might list a maximum of 7 companies to compensate for sectors with less than 5
