Gleason Publications

The company launched its first magazine, DealMakers, in DealMakers is a quarterly publication that is intensely focused on South Africa’s corporate finance sector – it tracks and examines all the Merger & Acquisition activity conducted by public listed companies, together with all other aspects of listed company changes that fall under the generic heading of General Corporate Finance. These include matters such as financial restructuring, new listings, delistings, bond issues and the like. Catalyst, South Africa’s first private equity and venture capital magazine was launched in 2005. It is presently carried every quarter as a “run-of-book” addition to DealMakers. GP launched its second magazine, without prejudice, in October 2001. This magazine, which first appeared in tabloid form and is a monthly publication, records, analyses and comments on all corporate law matters. Gleason Publications also offers outsourced design and layout through the Gleason Design Studio. Current clients include the Independent Schools Association of South Africa (ISASA) and St Stithians.
