It carries weekly magazines, including Your Health and Success on Mondays, Political Platform on Wednesdays, Business Week on Thursdays, The Beat on Fridays and Woman on Saturdays. Its sister titles include the Swahili-language daily Mwananchi and the sports paper Mwanaspoti. A 2018 print media study reported by The Citizen named its publisher the most read newspaper company in Tanzania, ahead of IPP Media Group and New Habari Corporation. ### **What the Published Data Says About the Audience** - **Print market standing.** A 2018 study reported in The Citizen ranked its publisher first among Tanzanian newspaper companies for readership. - **Business readers.** Business Week on Thursdays and daily business coverage serve professionals following trade, ports, energy and regional investment. - **Weekly magazine audiences.** Weekly magazines on health, politics, entertainment and women's interest add varied premium reader segments. - **Swahili family.** The Swahili-language sister daily Mwananchi extends reach to readers in the national language. ### **A Media Planner's View: Where to Place** Use The Citizen for finance, energy, property, education, travel and premium consumer campaigns aimed at English-reading Dar es Salaam and the wider business community. Place investor and corporate messages in Business Week on Thursdays and on the business pages, and use the other weekly magazines for lifestyle and family brands. Pair print with the website for frequency, and add Swahili creative when the campaign needs to reach beyond English-reading audiences. Our team can also combine it with airport and inflight media for travellers arriving in Dar es Salaam. ### **Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here** The Citizen is one of Tanzania's national English dailies, and for brands that want to reach professionals, investors and affluent households in Dar es Salaam it is a strong anchor title. Banking, energy, property, travel and premium consumer brands use English-language national press because it reaches the readers who make large purchase and investment decisions. **How we would use it.** We would anchor a campaign in the Thursday Business Week magazine for finance, energy, property and corporate messages, add news-page positions for brand impact, and extend into the website for continuity. For wider reach we adapt creative into Swahili and consider the Sunday edition and weekly magazines for lifestyle and premium products. **Our guidance.** Tanzania reads in English and Swahili, so we decide the right mix of creative for your audience as part of the plan. ### **How We Would Run Your The Citizen 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 English creative; Swahili adaptation available, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run. --- ## **Where Can Your Brand Appear in The Citizen?** - **Print display.** Display advertising in the daily English-language edition and the Sunday edition. - **Business Week.** Thursday magazine positions for finance, energy, property and corporate advertisers. - **Weekly magazines.** Slots in titles such as Woman, The Beat and Your Health and Success for lifestyle and family brands. - **Website.** Digital placements on thecitizen.co.tz planned alongside print.
