Macclesfield Nub News is expanding, thanks to the huge number of people like you who read our stories, list their events or business on our online newspaper.

As we strive to be the comprehensive site to know what is going on in our town, Macclesfield Nub News, just 16 months old, has averaged 21,000 views this past month. This is just under half the population of our great market town.

28,000 unique users have visited our website since April - and this is before the recent easing of lockdown measures and events returning to the local calendar.

Our quality, independent and honest journalism has informed Macclesfield residents who live in our town, Bollington, or further afar in the surrounding area.

At Macclesfield Nub News, our motto is Your Town In Your Pocket. We aim to be your one-stop-shop for all things Macc: positive community news, detailed reports, local events; property, jobs and classified listings.

We are also compiling an A-Z of the businesses, charities and groups in Macclesfield. It's our way of giving them a FREE promotional boost and several companies and professionals are displaying their services on our local list. We are committed to supporting small businesses.

We are on Facebook and Twitter and across these social media pages we have amassed more than 4,300 followers.

Across the country, Nub News is in over 70 towns, having launched just over two-and-a-half years ago. We are a fast growing journalism network, giving readers a great user experience without any invasive adverts or click-bait.

Macclesfield Nub News is now looking for community-minded sponsors who want to reach a highly engaged targeted audience.

We were delighted to announced our first ever sponsor, estate agents Belvoir Macclesfield, last month.

They have since seen the benefits in having multiple articles a week produced for our website, multiple posts a week to social media, and a custom-made banner, amongst other perks.

Sponsors in our other towns include care homes, solicitors, care-at-home, garden centres, motor dealerships, and restaurants. We have excellent customer references.

We have many different sections of the site that can be sponsored, with your banner appearing on the main news section, the what's on section or local list. We will add you to the section that is most relevant to your business.

We are also about to launch a Macclesfield Nub News Motors section, which will cover all local automobile news and car sale listings.

We can offer a suite of promotional banners, links to your website, professionally written editorials, and supplied content (which can be weekly). This is the full package for branding, awareness and community engagement for Macclesfield Nub News.

If you are keen to make your company's name visible to thousands locally, please get in touch with our Partnership Manager Amanda Patchings.
