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
