At Communiqué, we’ve always believed that insights should move as freely as culture itself. Last year, we experimented with a paywall, but we’ve since learned that our mission to connect and amplify Africa’s media and creative economy can’t thrive behind walls.
So we took the walls down. Every story and bit of insight is now free to read because we want our work to reach millions across Africa and the diaspora.
Through our newsletters, videos, intelligence reports, and events, we’re building a community that spans industries: tech and finance, media and policy, culture and creativity.
Now, we’re inviting sponsors and partners to help power this next chapter of growth and scale.

Here are answers to questions you might have.
What types of sponsorship are available?
We partner with brands through newsletter features, video collaborations, intelligence reports, event branding, and custom packages designed around your goals.
Is Communiqué only a newsletter?
Not at all. While our newsletter is a core entry point, we also produce intelligence reports, videos, community events, and editorial features. This multi-format approach enables sponsors to connect with audiences across multiple touchpoints, not just in their inbox.
Can I target specific formats or content?
Yes, whether you’re looking for newsletter packages, dedicated intelligence content, or event showcases, we tailor our offerings to meet your specific needs.

Trust is our north star. Readers come to Communiqué because they know our analysis is honest and independent, and that won’t change. Whenever we collaborate with sponsors, we’re upfront about it and clearly label sponsored content without jeopardising its impact and quality.
What kind of partners are you looking for?
We love working with partners who see the world the way we do: that ideas, creativity, and business are powerful forces for shaping the future. That could mean fintechs powering global payments, impact-driven organisations building inclusive economies, creative and media companies shaping culture, or forward-thinking investors and institutions backing bold ideas.
Is there flexibility in sponsorship levels?
Yes. From single-issue sponsorships to year-long partnerships, we’ll work with you to find the right fit.
