The schedule follows from that. The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted for Afrikaans creative; English available, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run. --- ## **Where Can Your Brand Appear in Rapport?** - **Display advertising.** Digital display around Rapport content on Netwerk24. - **Sponsored content.** Longer messages for finance, property and education advertisers. - **Cross-media plans.** Rapport digital combined with other South African newspapers and airport media.
