About Us -

The Colston Media Group thrives within its distribution areas. We have three publications with coverage throughout Yorkshire and the Northwest and Scotland. Because we have such a wide reach and strong circulation figure, by choosing to advertise within The Yorkshire Herald & Advertiser, The North West Times or The Scottish Gazette you are ensuring that your business is seen not only within the area that you work within, but also; by impressive numbers of people interested in the products and services that you offer.

Currently all our publications are very successful digital magazines, both of which are distributed fortnightly. They are sent out via email or can be accessed via Twitter, Facebook, Pagesuite and our popular websites yhaonline.co.uk, northwesttimes.co.uk and scottishgazette.co.uk.

We are also very excited to be one of the very first local publications to offer their complete publication on-line completely free of charge. Our specialist Digital Reading Software that is literally leading the industry allows our readers to view the publication on-line at their convenience. This has meant that our readers have been able to print off adverts and give them to friends, or have them at hand for when they wish to approach the product/service provider featured.

Originally our magazines were hard copy, however we made the switch to digital as its environmentally friendly, it’s much faster to access and can be accessed on phones, tablets, laptops and many other formats. This has allowed us to hit a much larger readership for our advertisers.

For more information regarding either publication, you can view our media pack by emailing editorial@colstonmedia.co.uk. This will contains further information regarding the publication, its availability, the advertising rates and copy requirements (both graphic and deadline based).

For questions and answers regarding either publication please check out out Frequently Asked Questions page by clicking here

I know you’d been in touch with my colleague Emma who has now left us, but I just wanted to drop you a quick message to say a huge thank you for running our Jeans for Genes ads again this year. Your kind support really does mean so much to us and makes a truly incredible difference in helping us to change the lives of children with genetic disorders, so thank you ever so much for supporting us on this.

It has been a pleasure to work with Katie, she is extremely efficient, quick thinking and vital in highlighting key opportunities available to Annandale Distillery across Colston Media publications, not to mention a pleasure to deal with. Our editorial and advertorial placements have undoubtedly increased our footfall. I very much look forward to an ongoing working relationship.
