Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes a brand eligible?

A: We’re looking for purpose-driven African brands with strong design, a clear mission, and values that reflect independent thought, creativity, and cultural depth.

Q: Can I choose where my ad appears?

A: Our team will select placements for best impact and cohesion across channels. All placements will follow our editorial-quality standard.

Q: Will you help with ad design?

A: Yes. We will either design your ad in-house or work closely with your team to adapt your existing visuals to fit The Republic’s aesthetic.

Q: Is this a discount promo?

A: No. This is a one-time pilot for early adopters. The pilot price is significantly lower than our full value (₦2m/month) and will not be repeated in this format.

Q: Will this offer return again?

A: Possibly—but there are no guarantees. This campaign is our first step into brand partnerships. Future advertising will be based on learnings from this pilot.
