Why Le Devoir Matters in Canada
Le Devoir is a French-language daily published in Montreal and read across Quebec, with its digital edition at ledevoir.com. In its last audited print period, the Audit Bureau of Circulations recorded average circulation of 29,812 on weekdays and 48,228 on Saturdays (six months to 30 September 2011).
Those figures are from 2011 and reflect print only. The Saturday edition carries the largest print run of the week, which is why it is the natural anchor for display creative, while the website provides daily online reach.
What the Published Data Says About the Audience
- Weekday print. 29,812 average circulation (Audit Bureau of Circulations, six months to September 2011).
- Saturday print. 48,228 average circulation (Audit Bureau of Circulations, six months to September 2011).
- Digital. Daily news and features on ledevoir.com.
- Reader type. Quebec professionals, executives, academics and cultural audiences who read in depth, in our planning view.
A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Le Devoir alongside a mass-reach title such as La Presse. Le Devoir brings the concentrated, opinion-forming professional readership, and the Saturday edition is the best slot for premium display and brand campaigns.
Our expert team at Masscom Global would place finance, property, education and luxury messages in economy, culture and weekend environments, and use ledevoir.com for steady frequency between print days.
Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here
Le Devoir is smaller than the mass-market dailies, and that is its strength for investor and premium advertisers. Its readers are executives, professionals, academics and cultural figures who read closely, so each placement works harder than raw circulation suggests.
How we would use it. We would anchor a campaign in the Saturday print edition, which carries the largest print run, and extend it on ledevoir.com through the week. Economy, business, culture and real estate environments suit investment, property and premium messages, with creative in French.
Our guidance. Le Devoir rewards a considered, high-quality message, so we plan fewer, stronger placements with creative adapted into French and timed to the Saturday edition and key news moments.
How We Would Run Your Le Devoir 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 for French, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
Where Can Your Brand Appear in Le Devoir?
