Newspage case studies: “Platinum is the bomb”

Last Sunday, we emailed you all about signing up to Newspage Platinum — and Iain Swatton, a mortgage adviser, gave it a whirl. Since then, Iain, and his firm Exemplar Financial Services, has appeared in the Daily Express (alongside four other Platinum Newspagers), the Daily Mail (twice), Yahoo News, the Birmingham Mail and various other news media. This morning, Iain, sounding like someone off Breaking Bad, told us: “Platinum is the bomb.”

Meanwhile, Gabriel McKeown, a macroeconomist at Sad Rabbit Investments, signed up to Newspage Platinum a fortnight or so ago. He’s smashed it out of the park since, with well over 20 pieces of media exposure ranging from the Guardian and Daily Mail to Moneyweek and Sky News. A week in, Gabriel said: “I just wanted to thank you once again for what you are doing with Newspage. The results have been truly outstanding and I can't believe it's only been a week on the platform.”

A PR agency would charge £0000s for the coverage Iain and Gabriel have had — coverage they can now use to power their social media channels and show off on their websites.

Iain and Gabriel have also joined our News Desk, a WhatsApp group where wealth managers, mortgage brokers, IFAs, economists and property experts drop stories in real time and discuss them with other experts. News alerts are rapidly created and fast-tracked to the media. These are the stories we get the most coverage from as they come from practising experts and are stories that journalists often don’t spot. Effectively, Newspage turns experts into citizen journalists  — and our News Desk is already working closely with several national newsrooms.

So, we’re renewing our offer to you of 50% off Platinum for 3 months. You’ll pay just £59.99pcm instead of the normal £119.99pcm. Oh, and you can cancel anytime. The offer ends at 23:59 today.
