WHO READS ROLL CALL AFRICA
Roll Call Africa is read by the professionals who run the African screen industry — producers, distributors, directors, executives, investors, marketing strategists, exhibitors, broadcasters, and the writers, agents, and lawyers who serve them.
Our readers are decision-makers. They are the people who commission productions, greenlight distributions, negotiate streaming deals, and write the cheques that bring African stories to screen. They read Roll Call Africa because they need serious, reliable, continental trade coverage that respects their intelligence and serves their professional needs.
They are not a casual audience. They are the industry.
WHY ADVERTISE WITH US
Africa’s screen industry is growing faster than any comparable industry on the continent. The theatrical box office is breaking records. Streaming platforms are investing — unevenly, but investing. Co-production structures are maturing. The festival circuit for African films has never been more active. The people making decisions in this environment read Roll Call Africa.
Advertising with us places your organisation, production, service, or platform in front of an audience that is actively engaged with the business you are in. Our editorial rigour and independence mean our readers trust what appears in our pages — including the advertising that appears alongside our content.
ADVERTISING OPTIONS
Editorial Sponsorships
Partner with a specific section of Roll Call Africa — Box Office, Rising Watchlist™, Commercial Index™, Festivals & Awards — and place your brand alongside the coverage most relevant to your audience.
Display Advertising
Homepage, article, and section page placements. We do not auction placements or prioritise advertisers over editorial. Placements are clearly marked as advertising. Our readers know the difference and appreciate the transparency.
Newsletter Sponsorships
The Roll Call Africa Intelligence Brief reaches industry professionals across Africa and its diaspora every Tuesday. Newsletter sponsorship places your message in the most read section of our publication.
Event & Festival Partnerships
We attend and cover FESPACO, AFRIFF, the Durban International Film Festival, Cannes, Berlinale, and other festivals where African cinema is present. Partnership opportunities are available for events seeking trade coverage and professional audience engagement.
Special Reports & Supplements
We produce quarterly special reports on specific topics — box office annual analysis, streaming market overview, the co-production landscape, the festival season review. Sponsoring these reports associates your brand with the most substantive trade analysis available on African cinema and television.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO
RollCallAfrica does not accept advertising that compromises editorial independence. Advertisers do not influence our coverage, our reviews, or our analytical positions. We do not publish paid editorial disguised as journalism.
We do not run advertising for products or services that are in direct conflict with the interests of the African screen industry.
