PRINT EXPERTISE & HERITAGE
For over 15 years, Zest Media Group has created premium lifestyle, special-interest and corporate publications, combining compelling editorial with award-winning design. From locally focused lifestyle magazines to specialist titles built around the interests and passions of their audiences, we create content that informs, inspires and engages. We also create fully bespoke publications for leading brands and organisations, managing everything from editorial strategy and content creation to design, art direction and production. Every publication is expertly crafted to engage its audience and build a loyal readership.
The Town & Village Editions applies that experience at a smaller geographic scale. Each edition is a genuine local magazine — written about the communities it lands in, produced to the same editorial and design standards as the wider portfolio, and distributed by postcode sector rather than scattered across a broad region.
For advertisers that means a considered, well-produced environment with a defined local audience, backed by an established publishing operation rather than a one-off local title.
Editorial standards
Advertising and editorial are kept apart.
Independent editorial is what makes the environment worth advertising in. Sponsored content and advertorials are produced to the same production standard and are always clearly labelled as such.
