The new website will provide a guide to local marketing and advertising, with free advice on key related topics.

Johnston Press will be providing further support to local communities and businesses, so they can gain information on marketing services available across the publishers print and online new brands, and also a free marketing help and advice service.

Specifically, they will be looking at key business issues for SME’s, including raising awareness, engaging with customers and growing sales. There will also be an online chat, so users can speak directly to Johnston Press’ sales team, a fortnightly newsletter, and exclusive content from marketing experts.

James Adams, director of marketing communications for Johnston Press, has said: “As a local publisher it’s our commitment to provide the information needed and offer businesses valuable, long-term advice to reach more customers in their local areas. We are already seeing great results from local businesses across the UK, and look forward to seeing more success stories”.
