The future of trade publications: the ability to adapt and add value

Member News

Clarion Events Africa’s Media division is thriving

“Clarion Events Africa’s trade publications are not only surviving, but thriving, because we have managed to reinvent the medium by embracing digital and key event partnerships to have a 360⁰ live visibility and accessibility.” This is according to Ross Hastie, Group Director Media at Clarion Events Africa, for many years trading as Spintelligent. The company is also known for its multi-award winning B2B conferences and exhibitions across the continent.

“While many media houses are struggling to keep traditional publishing business models viable, we differentiate ourselves by being part of the industry, not outsiders looking in. It’s content by the industry, for the industries we serve – energy, power and mining.

“As publishers, we have the unique opportunity to distribute content to the audiences attending our events – to have an entire industry community under one roof is a marketer’s dream.

“Conversations don’t stop at the end of an event. We’re able to continue the engagement for the other 362 days of the year. This way we offer a seamlessly connected and holistic solution to clients by offering webinars, videos, interviews and social media campaigns along with the flagship print publications.

A major part of our value proposition is to give our clients and partners access to Clarion’s truly global network of expertise. Regional event content teams around the world work with our media brands  namely ESI Africa, Smart Energy International, Mining Review Africa and Power Engineering International as well as annual journals such as Global Energy Elites and Mining Elites.

This enables us, while retaining local expertise, to harness the influence and competence of Clarion’s worldwide reach.”

Engagement statistics for Mining Review Africa, ESI Africa and Smart Energy International:

– The total social media audience has increased by 130% to over 100 000 followers. Mining Review Africa has a LinkedIn following of 22 000.

– In 2019 our video content was viewed over 83 000 times for a total of 2645 hours. ESI Africa had 29 000 YouTube views.

– A combined global online audience of over 1.8 million. The Smart Energy International audience has increased by almost 500%.

– Power Engineering International was acquired recently and the audience in January doubled compared to August last year, when it changed ownership.
