SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING

Reach the people who run local councils

The Clerk is a concise weekly briefing for clerks, RFOs and senior officers in town and parish councils across England and Wales. It gives relevant suppliers a focused way to reach the people who influence and commission council services.

A useful context, not a crowded ad break

The briefing is designed to be read in around 90 seconds. Commercial placements are concise, relevant and clearly identified, so sponsors gain visibility without weakening the reader experience.
