Reach Cornwall,
every single day.

Independent local news, read by the people who live, work, and spend in the towns and villages your business depends on.

01 – Who We Are

The local news Cornwall actually reads.

CornishStuff has covered Cornwall since 2024. From Bude to Penzance, Saltash to St Ives, we publish news that matters in the towns and villages where your customers live, work, and spend.

We’re independent. No national group, no corporate owner pulling the strings. That means readers trust what they see, and your advert sits alongside genuine local journalism rather than syndicated filler.

If your business serves Cornwall, this is where Cornwall is paying attention.

A Note on Editorial

News coverage is, and always will be, free.

If you’ve got a genuine news story, a community event, a charity initiative, a new business opening, a fundraiser, send it our way. We cover Cornwall every day, and we don’t charge for editorial coverage. Ever.

This page is about something different. It’s for businesses that want guaranteed visibility beyond what news coverage offers. Display advertising, sponsored content, newsletter placements, social posts, the things that put your brand consistently in front of our readers, week in, week out.

Editorial coverage

News stories, events, community announcements, press releases. Send them to [email protected] or use our contact form.

Advertising packages

Banners, sponsored articles, newsletter inclusion, social posts, homepage features. The packages below.

02 — The audience

Who’s reading, and why it matters to your business.

People living in Cornwall. People planning trips and holidays. People searching for restaurants, events, beaches and things to do. Commuters checking daily news. Parents looking for activities. Locals exploring places to eat, shop or stay. Business owners looking for services. If your business relies on people in Cornwall, you won’t find a more focused audience.

Our reach spans daily news readers, an active Facebook community, and a growing daily email newsletter. Specific reach figures shared on the discovery call. We’d rather show you our real numbers than publish averages that mean nothing.

03 — Our approach

We’ve moved on from
impression-based pricing.

It treats every advert the same, and it doesn’t reflect what actually works for local businesses in Cornwall.

Instead, we build packages around outcomes. Some businesses want steady, ongoing visibility. Some need a launch push. Others want to own a town or a topic. Tell us what you’re trying to achieve, and we’ll match you to the right one.
