Why Capital Ethiopia Works for Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers
Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in Ethiopia
Why Capital Ethiopia Matters in Ethiopia
Capital was established in December 1998 and marked its 25th anniversary in 2023 (Capital Ethiopia, Jan 2023). It is a weekly published on Sundays, with a focus on business and economics alongside politics, arts, sports and opinion.
The paper states that its readership is strongest in the business community, with subscribers including business people, non-governmental and international organisations, academic institutions and individuals (Capital Ethiopia, Jan 2023). That makes it a core title for any plan aimed at Ethiopian business and investor readers.

A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Capital Ethiopia for English-language reach among business owners, entrepreneurs, development professionals and investors in Addis Ababa. Print display beside the business and economy coverage suits banking, investment, property and corporate messages, and the entrepreneur and Doing Business content suits brands speaking to company founders.
Add website banners and the e-paper to extend reach between Sunday issues. We schedule bursts around economic announcements, tender periods and investment events when attention on the Ethiopian market peaks.
Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here
Capital Ethiopia has served Addis Ababa's business community since 1998, and its readership is strongest among business people, according to the paper itself. For banks, investment and trade brands, real estate developers, logistics firms and international companies entering Ethiopia, it reaches decision-makers who run and fund enterprises.
How we would use it. We would anchor the plan in print display in the Sunday edition near business and economy coverage, extend it through website banners and the e-paper, and time bursts around economic announcements and investment events. Creative runs in English.
Our guidance. We match placement to your objective, whether that is investor awareness, corporate reputation or market entry, and set the section and timing mix around it.
How We Would Run Your Capital Ethiopia 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.
