This Is Tees Valley This Is Tees Valley - Issue 1 2020 | Page 81

“I remember talking to someone at an art exhibition in New York and I told her my mam had nowt. She looked at me with a bemused look and said ‘Oh, is that like polio or something?’” – artist Mackenzie Thorpe Resolution appointed experienced journalist Julie Burniston to head up the magazine in 2019, and Tees Life will this year launch its inaugural Tees Lifestyle Awards, celebrating the best restaurants, pubs, hotels and small businesses in the region. “Tees Life is one big celebration of the Tees Valley region,” says editor Julie. “We love promoting the region – both with the magazine and now our awards event – it’s what we do.” A glossy high-end magazine, Tees Life is delivered free to homes and businesses across Teesside including Wynyard, Eaglescliffe, Yarm, Ingleby Barwick, Wolviston, Norton, Hartburn, Nunthorpe, Marton, Linthorpe, Stokesley and Guisborough. With a print circulation of 9,000-plus, Tees Life is A4 size, printed on full colour, high-quality print, and offers local businesses the perfect vehicle to promote their high-end products and services to affluent Teessiders. Julie adds: “Many people still love the printed publication, to sit and read with a coffee on the sofa or during a break, and we try to make Tees Life a quality read. “It is funded by sponsored content as well as advertising, because it’s a free magazine, but more than 50% of the magazine is in- house editorial, produced by professional writers and photographers. “We take great pride in Tees Life and we’d like to think our readers appreciate that.” “I’ve never moved away, it’s never even been discussed. I feel comfortable here.” – Maximo Park frontman Paul Smith “When I first started presenting in America they suggested I had elocution lessons and I really took umbrage with that, but when I got to the bottom of it they just wanted me to slow the hell down. I read on a forum after my first show: ‘I can’t understand a word this girl from England says, but she was so excited about that product that I just had to buy it!’” “I still like to stay me, even in LA. I’m proud of being a northern girl – everyone knows I’m a northern lass!” – Bollywood and Hollywood star Preeti Desai “London is an amazing city but Teesside is where we want to be as a family. What I used to get a lot was ‘Oh, what do you want to live up north for?’ But it’s a beautiful part of the country. It’s 20 minutes to the beach and half an hour to the moors. I can’t imagine being anywhere else right now.” – Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies – Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson Advertising in Tees Life starts from £145, up to £645 for a full page and £1,075 for a double-page spread.
