Be Featured: Showcase your business / event
We’ve organically grown our online community celebrating the very #BestOfPlymouth. We pride ourselves in showcasing what Plymouth has to offer and our audience consists of positive people from in and around the city who actively want to visit places!
Our platform is perfect for your businesses or events to be showcased to a locally wide and engaged audience.
By fine tuning what we do to give the audience what they like we get a lot of people coming back for more and using us as a news feed. Many check up on us daily and we reach over 320,000 per month on our Facebook page alone.
We can help you tell your story and hit new audiences at a fraction of the cost you’d pay for newspaper and magazine adverts.
Get in touch with us at hello@oneplymouth.co.uk and we can discuss the best coverage for you.
