We buy display across brands and cities daily. The published rack rate is an estimate; the rate we get is materially lower — and we pass it on.

Show us a written quote and we’ll very likely beat it. If we can’t, we’ll tell you honestly — no wasted time.

Cross-city rate arbitrage and the right day/page for your goal — like a media planner, for newspaper display.

Our studio builds the ad to the paper’s exact mechanical specs — free — and you approve a proof before it runs.

Display is charged per sq. cm, and the figure moves with the paper, the city edition, the page you want, the day of the week and whether it is colour. A quarter page in a regional daily and a full page in a metro national are different orders of magnitude. Send us the size and city and you get a firm, guaranteed number — not a range.

Because classified rates are published and display rates are negotiated. Printing a rack rate would mean quoting you a number we know is higher than what you should pay. We buy display space across papers and cities every day, so we quote the rate we can actually get — which is why it comes from a specialist rather than a calculator.

Full page, half page, quarter page, or a custom strip sized to your budget. If you are unsure, tell us the budget and the city and we will tell you what it realistically buys in each paper — often more in a strong regional daily than the same money buys in a metro national.

Show us a written quote you have already been given and we will very likely beat it. If we cannot beat it, we will say so plainly instead of wasting your time. Every quote is a guaranteed price, not an estimate that moves later.

No. Send finished artwork if you have it, or just a brief and your logo — our studio builds the ad to that newspaper’s exact mechanical specifications, free, and you approve a proof of precisely how it will print before anything runs.

The main newspaper, plus the supplements that match your goal — appointments and recruitment pull-outs, education and admissions, property, financial and results pages, statutory and court notices, tenders, and large-format obituary and remembrance pages. Pick the section above and we quote it pre-filled.

A specialist usually comes back with the rate within the hour. After that the timing is yours: once the creative is approved and payment is made, the ad runs on the date you choose, subject to the paper’s deadline for that edition and section. Premium positions need booking further ahead.

Yes, and it is usually where the savings are. Booking one campaign across several papers and city editions together lets us negotiate across the whole buy instead of one insertion at a time — you place one order and approve one proof set.

On the publish date you can view the page in that newspaper’s e-paper, or buy a printed copy from a local newsstand. The e-paper page carries the date and edition, which is what filings and internal records generally need. Your GST invoice is emailed when you pay.
