Social Visibility FAQs

What is a Social Visibility Package?

A Social Visibility Package promotes your business through selected Newcastillian News social media and WhatsApp platforms.

You provide the final campaign artwork, message and destination link. Our team reviews the material and schedules the included promotional posts across the booked campaign period.

The packages differ according to campaign duration and the number of promotional posts included:

Starter — 1 Week Visibility

  • 1 Facebook post
  • 1 Instagram post
  • 1 WhatsApp Groups post
  • 1 WhatsApp Channel post
  • 1 LinkedIn post
  • 1 story share across Instagram and Facebook

 

Popular — 2 Week Visibility

  • 2 Facebook posts
  • 2 Instagram posts
  • 2 WhatsApp Groups posts
  • 2 WhatsApp Channel posts
  • 2 LinkedIn posts
  • 2 story shares across Instagram and Facebook

 

Premium — 4 Week Visibility

  • 4 Facebook posts
  • 4 Instagram posts
  • 4 WhatsApp Groups posts
  • 4 WhatsApp Channel posts
  • 4 LinkedIn posts
  • 4 story shares across Instagram and Facebook

This is the period over which the included posts are scheduled.

A one-week package provides one promotional round across the included channels. A two-week package provides two rounds, while a four-week package provides four rounds.

The posts are spaced across the campaign period to create repeated exposure rather than being published simultaneously.

Social Visibility Packages include promotion through:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Newcastillian News WhatsApp Groups
  • Newcastillian News WhatsApp Channel
  • LinkedIn
  • Instagram and Facebook stories

 

Publication remains subject to the suitability and availability of each platform.

No. Social Visibility Packages require final, publication-ready artwork supplied by the advertiser.

Graphic design, redesign and artwork creation are not included in the package price. These services may be quoted separately where required.

Your artwork should be clear, professionally presented and suitable for mobile viewing.

It should ideally include:

  • Your business name or logo
  • A clear offer or campaign message
  • Relevant dates or promotional conditions
  • A strong call to action
  • Your website, telephone number or WhatsApp number

 

Accepted formats ordinarily include JPG, PNG and WebP.

Square artwork at approximately 1080 × 1080 pixels is recommended because it performs well across most social media platforms.

Portrait artwork may also be accepted where suitable. Our team may request an alternative version if the submitted design does not display properly across the included channels.

Full campaign copywriting is not included.

You should supply the key message, offer, relevant information and call to action. Newcastillian News may make minor formatting or presentation adjustments so that the supplied information works correctly on each platform.

Substantial copywriting or campaign development may be quoted separately.

Yes. You may provide a website, online store, booking page, enquiry form or WhatsApp link.

The advertiser is responsible for ensuring that the supplied link is correct, active and connected to the intended destination.

The packages ordinarily use one approved campaign design and one main promotional message throughout the campaign.

Using several different designs, offers or destination links may require a separate quotation or campaign arrangement.

Changes may be possible, depending on how many posts have already been scheduled or published.

Replacement artwork must be submitted and approved before it can be used. The campaign period will not automatically be extended because the advertiser requested a change after activation.

Additional administration or design charges may apply.

You may request preferred dates, particularly for launches, events, deadlines and limited offers.

Final posting dates remain subject to approval, campaign availability and the Newcastillian News publishing calendar. Requested dates are only confirmed once payment and all required campaign material have been received.

Ordinarily, no.

Posts are scheduled across the booked campaign period to create repeated visibility and give the audience more than one opportunity to see and respond to the campaign.

The exact schedule may differ according to platform availability and campaign requirements.

The campaign can be scheduled once:

  • Payment has been received
  • Final artwork has been submitted
  • The campaign message has been supplied
  • The destination link or contact details have been confirmed
  • The material has passed the approval process
  • Suitable publishing dates are available

 

Advertisers should submit everything early where the campaign is linked to a specific date.

Yes. Advance booking is recommended for events, product launches, recruitment campaigns, public holidays and limited-time promotions.

A campaign is only secured once payment, artwork and the required campaign information have been received and approved.

No. The packages cover organic publication through Newcastillian News’ own platforms.

They do not include Meta advertising spend, audience targeting, boosted posts or paid advertising through Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or any other third-party platform.

Feed posts may remain visible after the campaign period, but permanent retention is not guaranteed.

Stories are temporary by nature and ordinarily expire after the period determined by the relevant platform.

Posts may be removed where necessary for legal, regulatory, technical, editorial or operational reasons.

No. Social Visibility Packages cover promotional posts across social media and WhatsApp only.

They do not include:

  • A Newcastillian News article
  • In-Article advertising
  • Partner Content
  • Interviews
  • Independent editorial coverage

 

These services must be booked separately.

Yes. Social Visibility can support an Advert Boost, In-Article Visibility campaign, Partner Content article or another Newcastillian News advertising product.

Each additional service must be purchased separately unless it forms part of a written package or quotation.

Paid promotional content may be identified as sponsored, promoted, advertising or partner content where appropriate.

This ensures transparency and keeps commercial communication separate from independent Newcastillian News reporting.

Paid promotional content may be identified as sponsored, promoted, advertising or partner content where appropriate.

This ensures transparency and keeps commercial communication separate from independent Newcastillian News reporting.

No advertising campaign can guarantee a specific number of enquiries, bookings or sales.

Social Visibility provides defined promotional distribution across the included platforms. Business results will also depend on the advertiser’s offer, reputation, pricing, customer service and ability to convert enquiries.

No. Advertising and editorial coverage are managed separately.

Buying a Social Visibility Package does not guarantee a news article, interview, review or favourable editorial treatment. Newcastillian News retains complete editorial independence.

All campaigns are subject to approval.

Newcastillian News may reject or request changes to content that is:

  • Misleading or factually unsupported
  • Illegal or unsafe
  • Offensive or discriminatory
  • Defamatory
  • Poor quality or difficult to understand
  • Inconsistent with its advertising standards

Certain industries, claims or products may require supporting documents.

Our team will advise what needs to be corrected or replaced.

The campaign can be scheduled once compliant artwork and information have been supplied and approved. Delays caused by unsuitable or incomplete material may affect the requested campaign dates.

The advertiser is responsible for checking all names, prices, dates, contact details, links and promotional conditions before submission.

Where incorrect information is discovered after publication, Newcastillian News will attempt to correct future posts where reasonably possible. Posts already published cannot always be recalled or corrected across every channel.

All Social Visibility campaigns are subject to approval. Payment does not guarantee publication if the submitted content is unsuitable, misleading, unlawful, non-compliant or conflicts with Newcastillian News advertising standards or applicable platform policies. Social Visibility does not influence editorial coverage or guarantee reach, engagement, enquiries, leads or sales.
