Reach the
people who shape
UK cities.
DotCity connects brands with culturally engaged audiences across UK cities across the network — people who actively seek out what's new, what's next and what's worth their attention.
City audiences are different. They're invested.
Our readers aren't scrolling past. They're choosing to spend time on content that helps them get more from their city. That's a fundamentally different mindset to a social feed — and it makes for a fundamentally different advertising environment.
When a brand appears on DotCity, it appears because it belongs there. That's a standard we hold every partnership to.
Not an algorithm.
An editorial choice.
Every brand that appears on DotCity has been editorially considered. We don't run programmatic advertising that chases your audience across the internet. We place your brand in context — alongside content that the same audience is actively choosing to read.
The audience trusts us — and they extend that trust to the brands we feature.
Your brand appears alongside editorially relevant content — not chasing audiences around the internet.
Our editorial standards are high and our audiences know it. That trust extends to the brands we work with.
Target one city, a region or the full network simultaneously. Every campaign is calibrated to where your audience actually is.
Our editorial team and curators can create genuinely original branded content — not sponsored content that reads like an ad.
Weekly performance reports with engagement rates, reach, click-through and audience data broken down by city.
An audience that
actually cares.
Creatives & Culture-Seekers
Designers, architects, musicians, artists, writers — people who actively shape and seek out culture. The taste-makers in every city.
Food, Drink & Hospitality
Restaurant-goers, bar-hoppers, food critics and hospitality professionals. A premium, high-spending audience for hospitality brands.
Business & Professional
City-based professionals who use DotCity to stay culturally informed and socially active.
