Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in Sri Lanka

Why Daily FT Matters in Sri Lanka

Daily FT is a Sri Lankan English-language business daily. Its editor has described it as the country's first business daily, and its website covers around 40 sector categories including markets, financial services, energy, healthcare, IT and telecom, and property and construction.

What the Published Data Says About the Audience

A Media Planner's View: Where to Place

Use Daily FT for business owners, executives and investors in Colombo and across Sri Lanka. Print display in the main business pages gives authority, and the investing and special report features are the natural slots for banking, wealth and premium messaging.

Extend into the website and e-paper for frequency, and align campaigns with corporate results and policy announcements, when investor attention is highest.

Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here

Daily FT is the title we use when a brand needs the Sri Lankan business community in a finance-first setting. Banks, wealth and investment services, property developers, airlines and professional services use it because readers are the executives and investors those categories target.

How we would use it. We combine print display with the website and its sector pages, and use the Special Report and investing features for premium and financial messaging. Timing is built around results seasons, budget announcements and major business events.

Our guidance. Daily FT is read mainly in English, so we keep creative in English and tune the message to Sri Lankan business readers as part of the plan.

How We Would Run Your Daily FT 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.
