Advertising guidelines
Advertising policy
Our audience trusts what they see on Business Week Afrika. These rules keep it that way, and they're what makes a placement with us worth paying for.
Every ad is reviewed
Submitting a booking doesn't guarantee publication. Our team reviews every ad before it runs, and we may approve it, ask for changes, or decline it.
If changes are needed, we'll email you exactly what to fix. You can upload a new version and your booking stays in place.
What we accept
Events, conferences, training and workshops, funding opportunities and scholarships, jobs and recruitment, business opportunities, products, services, campaigns, community initiatives, announcements, and other opportunities our team approves.
What we don't accept
- Misleading or false claims, including fake opportunities or guaranteed returns.
- Content that is hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit or violent.
- Anything illegal, or that promotes illegal products or services.
- Content you don't own or have permission to use.
We reserve the right to refuse any advertisement.
