## **Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in South Korea**

### **Why Maeil Business Newspaper Matters in South Korea**

Maeil Business Newspaper began in 1966 as a weekly and became a daily in 1970\. Its circulation was reported at roughly 700,000 in total and about 550,000 paid for 2021 (Korea ABC Association, 2022 release), which places it first among economic newspapers.

The title is also widely read by Korea's corporate leadership. It has been named Premium Economic Newspaper of the Year by CEOs in Korea for 19 consecutive years since 2005, and the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2023 ranked it second among Korean media online and third in print.

### **What the Published Data Says About the Audience**

- **Circulation.** About 700,000 total and about 550,000 paid (Korea ABC Association, for 2021), first among economic newspapers.
- **CEO preference.** 66.06% among top 500 companies in the economic newspaper category (2023, as published by the newspaper).
- **Reading habits.** Most-read economic newspaper in a Korea Press Foundation survey of 50,788 people aged 16 and over (2021).
- **Digital standing.** Ranked second in digital news and third in print among Korean media (Reuters Institute Digital News Report, 2023).

### **A Media Planner's View: Where to Place**

Use Maeil Business for executives, investors and finance professionals across Korea. Print display in the business and finance pages gives authority and premium positioning, and the website extends frequency through the week around market and corporate news.

For brands targeting international readers who follow Korea, we add the English-language news site. Timing around results seasons, major economic announcements and business forums gives the strongest attention from investors.

### **Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here**

Maeil Business Newspaper is one of the first titles we put in front of brands that want South Korea's corporate elite. Banks, wealth managers, luxury and property developers, airlines and technology companies use it because the readers are the executives and investors those categories need to win.

**How we would use it.** We combine print display in the main business pages with the website, and add the English-language site when the brief targets international readers following Korea. Creative is adapted into Korean, and timing is built around earnings seasons, market events and corporate announcements.

**Our guidance.** Korean is the language of the flagship paper and its readers, so we adapt your creative and tone for Korea rather than reusing global copy.

### **How We Would Run Your Maeil Business Newspaper 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 Korean, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
