Advertise with Local Authority

Reach an engaged Medway audience through a trusted, award-winning local publication.

Local Authority offers exclusive print and digital advertising opportunities for businesses, organisations and events that want to get in front of people who actually pay attention to what is going on locally.

Why advertise with us?

Local Authority is an independent, award-winning publication covering Medway’s politics, culture, communities and public life. We report seriously on the area, write like actual humans, and have built a loyal readership in the process.

That matters if you are advertising. It means your organisation appears in a publication people choose to spend time with, rather than wedged between clickbait and assorted internet sludge.

We are rooted in Medway, and so is our audience. That makes Local Authority a strong fit for businesses, venues, organisations and events that want to reach people with a real connection to the area.

Exclusive page sponsorship in print

Our print edition is built around page sponsorship. That means each advertiser has sole presence on their page, rather than fighting for space alongside a clutter of other ads. Premium positions are also available on the front and back cover.

In other words, if you advertise in print with us, you are not disappearing into the wallpaper.

It is a clean, high-visibility way to appear in a distinctive local publication with a strong identity and a readership that cares about where it lives.

Print advertising options

  • Inside page sponsorship
  • Front cover sponsorship
  • Back cover sponsorship
  • Multi-issue bookings
  • Combined print and newsletter packages

Artwork specifications, booking deadlines and availability are available on request.

Digital advertising

Exclusive newsletter sponsorship

Local Authority also offers exclusive sponsorship of individual newsletter editions, putting your organisation directly in front of one of Medway’s most engaged local audiences.

Only one sponsorship slot is available per newsletter, so your brand is the sole sponsored presence in that edition.

Our free newsletters currently reach over 3,000 Medway subscribers, with a typical open rate of 58%.

That gives advertisers a direct route into readers’ inboxes through a product they actively choose to receive and support, which is a better place to be than most of the internet.

Digital advertising options

  • Exclusive sponsorship of individual newsletter editions
  • Sole sponsored presence within that edition
  • Combined print and newsletter packages
