WELCOME
Welcome
Welcome to the Summer 2017 issue of Tees Life – Teesside ’ s lifestyle magazine .
This is just the second edition of Teesside ’ s only lifestyle magazine , which we launched in April this year .
But already we ’ ve had to expand Tees Life and add pages to accommodate an obvious demand from businesses across the Teesside region .
Of course , we ’ ve also added editorial pages , so there ’ s more for you to read in what is a unique publication for our region .
We use the word ‘ unique ’, because up until now there hasn ’ t been a true lifestyle magazine dedicated to Teesside . There are lots of excellent regional lifestyle and aspirational publications which cover the North-East generally – giving the occasional ‘ nod ’ to the Tees region – and there ’ s also a handful of Teesside ad-mags out there , some of which claim to be lifestyle publications but actually have very little , if any , lifestyle content .
So , as Teessiders , we ’ re very proud to bring you a genuine first for the area .
Tees Life is published quarterly , by our Middlesbrough-based company Resolution Media and Publishing , with 7,000 copies circulated to homes , pubs , restaurants , hotels and salons across Teesside including Wynyard , Eaglescliffe , Yarm , Ingleby Barwick ,
Wolviston , Hartburn , Nunthorpe , Marton and Guisborough .
It features our own original editorial content covering food and drink , fashion , motoring and sport , people and places , homes and interiors , advice and events .
We launched our first issue with 44 pages – and we ’ ve already added eight more to this issue , with 52 pages made up of less than 40 % advertising and more than 60 % editorial content for you to enjoy , free of charge .
For businesses , Tees Life is a fantastic , affordable way of marketing their products or services to discerning Teessiders . Our in-house journalists , photographers and designers can work with you on your content for no additional charge . Space is available from just £ 145 per issue , with pay-monthly packages available from just £ 49 a month .
Our next issue is due out in October . To book space or ask for our Media Pack , call the Resolution team on 01642 450255 or email info @ resolutionpublishing . co . uk
We hope you enjoy this Summer issue – and we look forward to bringing you more editions in the future . Dave Allan & Martin Walker Co-editors , Tees Life
