Why BOSS Magazine Works for Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers
Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in Australia
Why BOSS Magazine Matters in Australia
BOSS is the monthly leadership and management magazine of the Australian Financial Review. Its publisher lists the target audience as men aged 30 to 64, C-suite executives and key business decision makers, and describes a print edition, an online presence and social communities.
Independent research gives a clear picture of the readers. Ipsos (12 months to October 2019) put BOSS at 91,000 monthly readers, with an average reader age of 48.
What the Published Data Says About the Audience
- Monthly readers. 91,000 (Ipsos MediaCT, people 14+, 12 months to October 2019).
- Senior profile. 33% of readers hold a postgraduate degree and 85% fall in the A or B social grades (Ipsos MediaCT, 2019).
- Investors. 51% of readers hold shares in listed companies (Ipsos MediaCT, 2019).
- Decision makers. Readers are 3.7 times more likely than the general population to be C-suite (Ipsos MediaCT, 2019).
A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use BOSS when the brief is about brand and consideration among senior Australian professionals. The monthly cycle suits campaigns that build over a quarter, with a print position in a theme-led issue and an online presence around it.
For investor-focused plans, pair BOSS with the Australian Financial Review daily so the same business audience is reached at different frequencies. The BOSS events and awards programmes add a direct route to leaders in the room.
Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here
BOSS is the Australian title for readers who run teams, budgets and companies. Brands in private banking, wealth management, executive education, property, professional services and premium travel use it because the audience is made up of the people who buy those products and services.
How we would use it. Lead with a full-page print position for brand and thought-leadership creative, support it with the online BOSS section, and consider commercial content or the BOSS awards programmes for deeper engagement. English creative works as it stands.
Our guidance. We time BOSS bookings around your campaign calendar and pair them with daily financial news placements, so the monthly carries the brand message while other titles carry frequency.
How We Would Run Your BOSS Magazine Campaign
We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.
The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted to the publication's formats, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
Where Can Your Brand Appear in BOSS Magazine?
- Print display. Full-page and feature-adjacent positions in the monthly magazine.
