About the Publisher: TradeFlock
TradeFlock is a biweekly independent business magazine documenting the journeys of leaders, entrepreneurs, and organisations. Where publications like Forbes have long centred their coverage around established corporate names and billion-dollar valuations, TradeFlock was built on a different premise entirely. It exists to give emerging entrepreneurs, first-generation business builders, and sector specialists a platform as credible and visible as any legacy publication, one that tells the stories mainstream business media routinely overlooks. It has also diversified its executive branding via its YouTube channel, LinkedIn Newsletter, and various categories such as success insights.
At its core, TradeFlock is a merit-driven publication where editorial features are never sold. Profiles are shortlisted purely on the strength of a leader’s experience, industry impact, milestones, and mentorship. The only costs a featured leader bears are optional, covering reprint rights or physical deliverables such as certificates and awards, none of which influence the editorial decision. This distinction ensures that recognition in TradeFlock carries genuine weight, not a price tag. Nominations are open to everyone, including self-nominations, colleagues, HR teams, and organisations, through TradFlock Nomination.
With a readership of 630,697 spanning CXOs, startup founders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers across 32 industries, including finance, healthcare, technology, and real estate, TradeFlock Magazine reaches an audience that is both influential and highly engaged. The magazine is available in print and digital formats through tradeflock.com and Magzter, with annual subscription plans that offer early access and discounted pricing for both editions.
For those looking to contribute editorially for the press mention, TradeFlock welcomes thought leaders and industry experts to submit authored articles and quotes for its Big Take and spotlight section at [email protected], making it as open to voices as it is to stories.
