Over the next twelve months, we are investing over £120,000 in building a media ecosystem that champions Ipswich and accelerates its regeneration.
Most local newspapers are owned by distant corporations who care about profit margins, not our high street. Their model is broken: cut costs, cut journalists, cut quality, then add paywalls and adverts. They extract more value from our town than they create.
We are building something different. A media by and for Ipswich – funded entirely by local businesses and organisations and accountable only to this town.
When you partner with us, you are not just buying advertising. You are funding journalism that helps your business succeed. Journalism that brings people into town. Journalism that celebrates local success stories and challenges the narrative that this town is dead. Journalism that holds power to account and fights for change. Journalism that makes Ipswich a place where your businesses can thrive.
This is not charity. For your business to succeed, Ipswich must succeed. For Ipswich to succeed, it needs a media ecosystem that works for the town, not against it.
Our partnerships combine advertising that works with journalism that matters. We help you grow your brand, reputation and revenue by putting your brand, expertise, products and services everywhere our audience is: in print, in email inboxes, on the web, app stores, social media, and even the high street.
We cannot do this without you. But if we do this together, we can build something that lasts, something that makes this town better for everyone who does business here, both now and long into the future.
Let's fight for this town – together.
