United Stations takes on Mail&Guardian Online sales

January 2011 marks the beginning of an exciting partnership. With immediate effect United Stations will be the exclusive digital sales house selling advertising across the four largest sections (Homepage, National, Leisure and Business) on the Mail&Guardian Online (www.mg.co.za).

Mail&Guardian Online regularly features as one of the country's top three news Web sites as measured and audited by Nielsen and other international metrics agencies. It was the first Internet-based news publication in Africa.

Launched in early 1994, it is recognised internationally for its quality content. The M&G Online has received numerous accolades and awards, two online industry Bookmarks Awards and three international Webby Honouree Awards (“Internet Oscars”) in 2008; a Webber Honourable Mention in 2005; and was voted one of the world's top 175 Web sites by Forbes.com.

Mail&Guardian Online is a premium brand and appeals to influential readers both locally and abroad. Mail & Guardian is no stranger to such a market, with 54% of its 650 000 unique online users having a university degree and 14% earning a monthly income of R70k+.

United Stations' team of passion-fuelled sales specialists will bring the experience, insight, tools and brand focus to drive and develop opportunities for advertisers.
