GLOBAL FINANCE: 28 YEARS OF CONNECTING WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL LEADERS IN THE WORLD

Since 1987, Global Finance magazine has been a reliable source of news and analysis for the most important financial people in the world. With a BPA audited circulation of more than 50,000 and readers in 180 countries, Global Finance provides a unique way to reach virtually all the top financial officers at companies and financial institutions around the world.

Global Finance regularly selects the top performers among banks and other providers of financial services. These awards have become a trusted standard of excellence for the global financial community.

Independent research has constantly shown that Global Finance, when compared to all major business publications, is the most effective way to reach the people controlling the finances, strategies and major purchases of the world’s most important companies.

Global Finance magazine offers marketers a range of tools to connect with top decision makers. These include display advertising, sponsored roundtables, sponsored statements, sponsored maps and event sponsorships.

Global Finance’s webcasts, webinars and custom mailings have become the top lead generation sources for marketers of sophisticated financial technology products and services.

The website GFMag.com targets an audience of top financial web-users that complements the reach of the magazine. GFMag.com offers analysis, articles and awards that are the heritage of 28 years of experience in international finance and provides a valuable source of data on more than 190 countries.

The reliability of Global Finance in reaching the most important financial people in the world is confirmed by its continued use by marketers.

2014 was among the most successful years in Global Finance’s 28-year history. This is remarkable given the state of financial media and only possible because Global Finance has been able to satisfy its readers’ and advertisers’ needs.
