Reach plc supports the local business community with #ThereWithYou initiative

The UK’s biggest commercial national and regional news publisher, owner of Lincolnshire Live and the Lincolnshire Echo, today launched a new initiative aimed at supporting the UK’s local business community throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

Reach plc’s #ThereWithYou campaign provides businesses with a raft of free commercial products and services they can use to combat the challenges they face. They include the creation of free promotional videos and website landing pages, plus complimentary creative and consultancy services.

The support package has been designed to meet the needs of all businesses, regardless of industry and location, and is supplemented by a range of discounted packaged solutions comprising social media advertising, print advertising, and content marketing.

Reach’s media portfolio includes the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express, more than 32 regional daily titles, and 96 weeklies – as well as 65 news websites. Locally they publish news on a weekly and daily basis via Lincolnshire Live and the Lincolnshire Echo.

Those news titles are viewed by more than 47m people every month.

Reach director Jim Brinkley said: “During these difficult times we know that our local businesses will be among the most affected. They are the life-blood of our towns and cities, both as service providers and employers, and we want to do all we can to support them at this time.

“This is why we’re launching our #ThereWithYou initiative which is designed to provide them with a free suite of benefits that they can take advantage of, tailored to any particular challenge they’re facing.

“We do not wish to push our commercial services at this time, but we understand that some businesses may not know what to do or where to turn next. This initiative shows that we’re here for them, whether it’s now, or when they need us most, and we are committed to supporting them.”
