MEDIA PACK 2015

Commercial Risk Africa (CRA is the only pan-African newspaper reporting on the news that really matters to insurance buyers, their professional advisors and the legislative and regulatory bodies that oversee the industry across sub-Saharan Africa. Commercial Risk Africa made huge advances in 2014 attracting hundreds of new readers over the course of the year, the majority of them from Africa. The first ever CRA conference, held in Nairobi last November, has really helped to further establish CRA as a unique source of business intelligence for sub-Saharan corporate insurance news.

A fast-growing readership Over 3,500 senior executives working in corporate risk management and the insurance industry in Sub Saharan Africa currently get CRA. CRA is also sent to over 3,000 senior executives responsible for corporate risk management and insurance buying across Europe (and increasingly further afield) and to over 4,000 insurers, reinsurers, brokers, risk management consultants and advisers. We work closely with IRMSA and other regional risk management associations to make sure their members can easily sign up for our free news service. New readers are signing up on a weekly basis and we anticipate a Sub Saharan African readership of about 6,000 by the end of 2015 * See additional circulation and readership information at the end of this document
