We reported real news stories and information for the local communities in Sussex using many newspapers and their websites. I supported businesses by making advertisements and special articles. These ads promoted small and medium-sized companies. We put these ads on Facebook, Google, and in our award-winning magazine.

As social media has become a bigger way to communicate, we have also made new websites, put ads on search engines, created email marketing, and helped with effective "call to action" landing pages on websites.

We partnered with Google AdWords and Sky AdSmart, and we had our own advertising services too.
