The Financial Times' circulation in Korea soared by more than 300
per cent since the opening of its Seoul print site last October in
partnership with Maeil Business Newspaper.
ABC audited sales in October reached an average of 2,100, up from the
pre-launch figure of 600 the month before. Subscriptions jumped more
than 180 per cent from 505 copies a day to 1,417.
To promote awareness of the FT in Korea, the newspaper has launched a
multimedia campaign that includes TVCs, print ads, free-standing
inserts, billboards, direct mail and Web-based marketing activities.
