AFA Press has accumulated hands-on
experience providing content and journalism in and about some of the
world’s most dynamic and emerging markets since the 1970s. We
specialise in the research and creation of country, regional, sectorial
and theme-based reports, business reviews, company profiles, articles,
advertising copywriting, text edition, proofreading and
grammatical/orthographic text editing.
AFA Press is devoted to meeting the needs
of publishers, clients, readers and advertisers. Our content is the
collaborative effort of experienced editors, writers, designers, experts
and analysts.
AFA Press has a staff of in-house and
freelance professional journalists who create thought-provoking
editorials and specialise in politics, business, energy, finance and
particular geographical regions. Meanwhile, our marketing and research
team consists of analysts with highly developed research skills and
in-depth region-specific knowledge of each country’s economy and key
commercial sectors. Our goal is to support our partner agencies by
producing quality content and devising original ways to tackle the
subjects we cover.
Country regional sectorial reports
AFA Press specialises in helping our
partner agencies create country, regional, sectorial and theme-based
reports that are later published in some of the most influential news
media across the globe.
Country reports
The resulting country reports focus on individual
countries, analysing their key sectors and opportunities for investment.
They also inform readers about the latest social, political and
economic developments in the country in question.
Regional reports
Reflecting the increasing cooperation and integration of
the world today, the regional reports produced by our partner agencies
are created to send out a shared message from a group of countries
within the same continent or region. From DR-CAFTA to ASEAN, these
regional reports view the world from a broader perspective, recognising
regional trends and developments in order to fully understand the
region.
Sectorial reports
By focusing on a particular industry or sector, sectorial
reports identify the movers and shakers at a national, regional or even a
global level. In this way AFA Press manages to position particular
companies in the context of their industry and provide invaluable
information for potential investors.
Theme-based reports
AFA Press creates content for theme-based reports covering a
variety of subjects from business or technology to consumer habits and
innovation. These theme-based reports provide readers with the latest
news and current developments in any particular sector, while offering
advertisers high-impact and contextual exposure.
When providing content and associated services for the
production of country, regional, sectorial and theme-based reports and
associated advertising sections we consider the best interests of
potential readers, providing all the information needed to formulate an
educated opinion and helping them stay in the loop. At AFA Press we aim
to provide a refreshing perspective clarifying unfamiliar issues and
tackling mundane subjects from unexpected angles. Our goal is to create
content and conceive new ideas that are appealing to both readers and
clients.
Creative design reprography printing
AFA Press believes in providing a complete
communication package. Over the years, and due to popular demand, we
have added a series of services to our portfolio: layout creation,
cutting-edge advertising design, photo editing, corporate image
creation, logo design, and marketing kit and web-page design.
We also provide printing and reprographic services when needed, through either mechanical or digital technology. At
AFA Press
we manage the entire printing process from paper selection to editing
and file production according to media and printer specifications.
Marketing strategic services
At
AFA Press we harness the power of both
print media and digital communication to ensure that the content we help
produce reaches the right people in the right way.
AFA Press
works in collaboration with several independent media agencies
worldwide which have forged exclusive agreements with the world’s
leading print publications including
The New York Times,
The Independent,
USA Today and
U.S. News & World Report. In this way we can help boost coverage of particular countries, regions, sectors, themes and companies.
With hands-on experience in dynamic and emerging markets,
the marketing and research team at AFA Press has highly developed
research skills and in-depth region-specific knowledge. Over the years
we have developed a unique database comprising our field experience and
collaboration in the production of hundreds of country reports. Our
services include editorial services and corporate communications
campaigns.
As readers turn increasingly to the Internet for their supply of news and information,
AFA Press
is taking technological change in its stride. Mobilising the power of
the Internet to our advantage, the reports we help to produce have a
truly global reach. The content we provide is available on the agency
website and in many cases on the websites of the newspapers and
magazines themselves. Clients can even request to feature reports on
their own websites.
Post-production services and project evaluation
Once the reports we contribute to and help to produce have
been published, we offer our partner agencies a variety of services to
help them maximise the duration of exposure and overall impact. We
deploy the power of both print media and the Internet to ensure that
communications projects have a truly global reach.
On the one hand, we make the reports available on their
website alongside the full text of interviews conducted when researching
for each project. But that’s not all.
AFA Press also
distributes publications to some of the most prestigious international
figures by means of a customised international print and electronic
mailing list that includes government and corporate leaders worldwide.
Additional print copies are sent to embassies, chambers of
commerce, investment promotion agencies, conferences and exhibitions.
For greater accessibility online, in-house web developers can create
links to the report on the websites of our media partners and clients.
Project development and communications campaigns
AFA Press continuously monitors key trends in the
global economy, politics, energy, business and finance in order to
prepare tailor-made communications projects for countries, regions and
industry sectors worldwide. The projects we work on are developed and
planned in conjunction with presidencies, embassies, ministries and
business leaders in order to deliver a targeted report that balances the
communication requirements of both the public and private sectors.
Our partner agencies work with a network of journalists who remain
in-country for a minimum of three months in order to develop the
comprehensive knowledge and know-how needed to attain the overall
quality of the editorial product. AFA Press has a staff
of in-house and freelance professional journalists who create
thought-provoking editorials and specialise in particular geographical
regions and sectors. The shared goal of AFA Press and our partner agencies is to produce quality content and journalism.
