Partner with Getbrief — Distribution and community partnerships
Partnerships

Two ways to partner with The Brief.

Whether you're an organisation bringing local reach or a business building an ongoing relationship with your community — there's a partnership model that fits.

Distribution partners → Community partners →
Option 1

Distribution partner

You're a BID, council, chamber of commerce or large local employer. You have an existing community and want to bring them a properly produced weekly newsletter. We handle everything — you bring the reach.

Option 2

Community partner

You're a local business that believes in what The Brief is doing and wants an ongoing relationship — actively promoting it to your customers and audience in return for editorial recognition and commercial inclusion.

Distribution partnerships

Your town's newsletter, ready to deploy.

Getbrief handles all the production — format, research, writing, delivery, platform. You bring the community relationships and the distribution reach. Together, your town gets a properly produced weekly newsletter with no internal resource required.

🏢
Business Improvement Districts
BIDs manage the local commercial environment but communicating with the wider town — not just member businesses — is often out of reach. The Brief gives you a weekly touchpoint with the whole community. A well-informed, engaged town centre is good for everyone on your patch.
🏛️
Local Councils & Authorities
Council communications often struggle to reach people who don't already know where to look. A co-produced weekly newsletter — editorial rather than corporate — is a direct line to residents who opted in and want to stay informed.
🤝
Chambers of Commerce
Your members care about the local economy, footfall and local decisions. So does The Brief. A partnership gets a curated, professional newsletter into the hands of member businesses and their teams — reinforcing your relevance as the voice of local enterprise.
🏭
Large Local Employers
Organisations with large workforces in one location — hospitals, universities, distribution centres — can use The Brief as part of staff local engagement. Help your people feel connected to the town they work in, without running a content operation internally.
1
Talk to us
A 30-minute conversation about your organisation, your community, and what you want the newsletter to do. No pitch deck. Just a conversation about whether it fits.
2
We set it up
We build out the newsletter, configure delivery and agree on the editorial remit. We'll need your subscriber list and a briefing on the area. That's about it from you.
3
It runs
Every Friday, a curated and edited newsletter goes to your community. You didn't write, edit or manage a single word of it. We handle the lot.
Community partnerships

An ongoing relationship, not a one-off.

Community partners are local businesses who actively promote The Brief to their customers and audience — sharing it via their own channels, linking to it, and helping it grow in the towns they operate in. In return, they get genuine, ongoing editorial and commercial recognition.

What you bring

  • Active promotion — sharing The Brief with your mailing list, social following or customer base on a regular basis.
  • Local presence — displaying QR codes or links in your venue, on your website or in your own communications.
  • Local knowledge — tips, events and announcements that help make The Brief better for everyone in the area.

What you get

  • Named recognition in The Brief and on the Getbrief website as a community partner.
  • Editorial inclusion — mentions, features and sponsored content as part of an ongoing commercial arrangement, not a one-off transaction.
  • Association with a trusted local brand — The Brief is what people read because they chose to. Your business is part of that.
Every arrangement is agreed individually. The exact shape of a community partnership depends on your business, your town and what makes sense for both sides. Get in touch and we'll work it out from there — there's no fixed package, no rate card, and no obligation.
