Leadership magazine

Leadership magazine is aimed at dynamic middle and senior business managers and Directors, entrepreneurs, an influential political class and those who aspire to leadership roles, across all sectors of the economy.

Leadership magazine is one of the oldest and most prestigious magazines in South Africa. Founded by Hugh Murray in 1983, Leadership became the choice read for the country's business and political leaders.

Leadership's aim is to give insights, intelligence and interviews with those leaders who are defining the world around us. It offers leaders a space to express their views, fears and hopes, without those being travestied by truncation, or refracted through the ideological prism of the commentariat.

Over the last 26 years Leadership has acted as a nexus point for the opinions of some of the smartest, most intelligent and indeed most vocal people South Africa and the world has had to offer and has won a record 14 Mondi awards and the PICA for Best magazine in the Business-to-Business category of professional services at the MPASA PICA 2008 awards.

Leadership is proud to act as the host for some of South Africa's greatest Thought Leaders, to provide them with a podium to express their opinion.

The nature of our target market is difficult to segment, but is holistically professionals, whether they be in industry, government or other market segments. Readers of Leadership in the last year alone, have been privy to Leadership secrets and insights personally penned by people such as Richard Branson, Kofi Annan, Mark Shuttleworth, Maria Ramos, Clem Sunter, Barack Obama and many more.

Meetings Direct

Meetings Direct, a unique strategic marketing service, is available to all delegates at the Tomorrow's Leaders Convention 2011.

Using the latest technology the objectives of each delegate are profiled to establish how their needs can best be met through targeted meetings with other delegates with similar interests. Focused meetings can then follow.

The Meetings Direct programme puts the interested parties together immediately, unlike the days of networking when a delegate could spend many hours - often without success - searching for an appropriate contact. With its emphasis on efficient and strategic marketing the Meetings Direct programme brings a new and exciting dimension to Cape Media's events.
