CONTENT
In today’s world of marketing, content is king and aligning relevant editorial content with your brand assists in keeping your product or service front of mind for perspective customers.
Content Marketing (Brand Insights) provides an unobtrusive, integrated marketing opportunity that conveys your brand’s story in a way other advertising cannot.
Readers don’t want to be told what to think - they want to be told what to
think about. But reaching audiences with a specific or detailed message isn’t easy.
Today, consumers have to trust a brand or news source before they engage with their message and the content they produce. That’s why Big Rigs, as the trusted voice of the transport industry, allows you to speak directly with your audiences through current, relevant editorial in a credible, familiar environment – fostering a powerful connection.
Big Rigs Brand Insights provides a unique native
advertising opportunity communicating your message within the context of our newspaper copy – something the audience already wants to read! Following the natural form and function of our trusted publishing environments, the advertising is brought to life within the page.
You could launch a new mascot or logo, or even a new product in a new and exciting way that makes you stand out amongst your competition. With a range of integrated multi-channel
social, print and online packages available, there is something to cater to your brand’s needs. It’s a great chance to align trusted print with you – the top trusted brands of the industry.
Many top brands have already relied on Big Rigs to tell their brand’s story and engage audiences through native content, so what are you waiting for? Marketing is about building a connection and standing out for the right reasons – find out how we can help!

CAMPAIGN
“We executed a content marketing campaign with Big Rigs as I thought it was the best way to get our message across.For our business, a customer testimonial showcasing the effectiveness of our product was a powerful inclusion in the campaign as it proved our value to other potential customers and generated more business for UES. I’d had previous dealings with Big Rigs and I knew they had the right audience that we needed.We always generate a lot of phone calls from the ads we run with Big Rigs. Brand Insights editorial worked as a
tool for our Sales Reps, giving them something solid to go out and show clients, changing the conversation from us talking about our product to “This truckie has used our chairs and thinks they’re great, take a look at that”.Overall, we would do it again and are happy with the results we received.”– Simon Allen Business Development Manager
