For banks, energy and mining groups, airlines, logistics firms and premium brands entering Central Asia, it is a news-led environment that international decision-makers already read.
How we would use it. We would plan website display across the home page and the business, economy and finance sections, with English and Russian creative, timed around investment forums, trade events and campaign windows.
Our guidance. We plan AKIpress as the regional news anchor for Central Asia, then add airport media and targeted business content to reach senior and high-net-worth readers.
How We Would Run Your AKIpress 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 and Russian, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
