The Raven Report
Introducing the Raven Report, a new publication aimed at promoting Community Businesses while celebrating all the good elements of our communities.
The Raven Report will launch soon and will feature company profiles of our community businesses written by experienced journalists, highlighting brands, products and services as well as the company’s values and ethos. This will be achieved by producing engaging interviews with business owners and staff, complimented by impactful images.
Why the Raven Report
While selected articles and content featured in the Raven Report will be shared online via our website and social media platforms, the main means of distribution will be a print-based newspaper, delivered direct-to-home.
Although the online space offers selective exposure for brands and products, the increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence and Fake News has had a negative impact on the authenticity of news and information shared online.
The Raven Report, through research, has identified a need in our communities to access authentic and accountable information and news that accurately reflect the vibrant dynamics in the areas where we live.
Celebrating
We will celebrate the families and individuals, as well as the businesses owned and managed by our people, while leaving the negative and “bad” news to the mainstream press.
We offer professionally written company profiles and interviews as well as general advertising space.
At present there is no other print publication delivered direct to home in the areas where we will distribute. Our initial print run will be 30 000 copies to be delivered to 30 000 households, which guarantees a readership of more than 120 000 potential customers of your brand, products and services.
We expect to increase our circulation and reach exponentially as the title grows in popularity.
