Trust is the hardest thing to buy. So we don't ask you to.
People are more sceptical of ads than ever. They scroll past them, block them and ignore them. But they still read their local news, and they trust it. Newsworks research shows ads in trusted news environments get a 261% higher click rate and a 51% stronger conversion rate than elsewhere.
Localeyes is part of Iconic Media Group, home to over 130 heritage news brands. That means the trust your business needs isn't something we buy in on your behalf. It's something we already have, and the Halo Solution puts it to work for you.
Built around your customer's journey, not a single channel
The foundations
A website and search presence that's ready for the attention you're about to get.
Get noticed
High-attention newsbrand channels put your name in front of a trusted local audience.
Spark interest
Sponsored content, social and search visibility give people a reason to look closer.
Win business
Paid search and a website built to convert turn that interest into calls and enquiries.
Build customer loyalty
Ongoing social, newsletters and newsbrand presence keep you front of mind.
Why the Halo Solution works
Attention that's proven
High-attention media plans are linked to 12% stronger market share growth, and display ads on news brand sites get 40% more attention than general display advertising.
Trust that rubs off
Brands seen in a news brand environment enjoy 60% higher perceived brand quality. Your business borrows credibility it would take years to build on its own.
Nothing wasted
We only add the next channel when your business is ready for it, so you're never paying for reach you can't yet use.
The reach of a media group, the care of a local agency
Trusted
Reach no other local agency can offer, and a 4.9/5 client rating. Full transparency on every pound of media spend.
Personal
A dedicated account manager plans and runs your whole Halo plan, across every channel, so nothing falls between departments.
Focused
In-house specialists in SEO, paid search, social, web and creative, working from one plan instead of five separate briefs.

Your questions, answered
How is this different from buying newspaper advertising?
Newsbrand advertising on its own is one channel. Halo uses that trust as the foundation, then builds your website, search and social around it, covering the whole journey instead of one moment.
Do I need to start with every channel?
No. Your plan starts where your business is now and grows with it.
Is it only for businesses that already advertise in local papers?
No. Newsbrand channels are part of the mix where they help, not a requirement to join.
How much does it cost?
Halo is built around your budget and goals.
Which areas does it cover?
Our news brands cover towns, cities and regions across the UK and Ireland.
