Partnering with the New Statesman

The New Statesman enables readers to engage and interact with the issues facing policy makers by publishing an array of special publications, reports and supplements.

Since its launch in April 1913, the New Statesman has attracted the attention of those at the intellectual heart of society. Our readers are the people that have most influence over the issues that are central to public life in politics, business, academia, the arts and trade. What sets them apart is their shared sense of idealism: that through civic engagement the world, life and society can be improved. That is why you will find New Statesman readers in positions of power, influence and at the centre of their communities - locally, nationally and internationally.

Editorial special reports

For over a decade the New Statesman has published highly acclaimed special reports. Typically these explore the challenges and opportunities facing government and its advisers.

Our award-winning team of writers and editors is able to bring to life the most complex themes - from social regeneration to video games - and provide experts and amateurs with useful and enjoyable insights, helping to initiate and fuel debate and understanding.

These 32-page, full-colour supplements are available for sponsorship in an exclusive package which can make a significant contribution to any communication campaign or, indeed, spearhead a single issue mission. Details of our proposed themes for 2011 are available on request.

Roundtable discussions

The New Statesman's high-level discussions between senior and highly influential individuals have a hard-won reputation all of their own. These professionally chaired and managed debates can be hard-hitting and powerful. We ensure our readers are kept fully informed by publishing the discussion as a special section which is stitched into every copy of the weekly magazine.

Themes range from from smart learning to funding healthcare in Africa. Our 2011 programme is already taking shape; those interested should contact the New Statesman now.

Interactive communication strategies

Ensuring the participation of some of the sharpest, busiest and most influential people around can often require bespoke communication efforts. The New Statesman has the skills and influence to deliver highly effective communications across a variety of platforms - print, digital media and events (including conferences, seminars and summits).

For example our annual awards programmes - the New Statesman's "New Media Awards" and the "UpStarts Awards™ for Social Enterprise" have attracted widespread attention and contributed to the success of their respective sectors in addressing policy and media challenges. Each offers prestigious evening events, roundtable discussions, networking with readers, public debates, marketing and advertising opportunities.

Online engagement

Only digital communications are able to provide lively, real-time interaction. The New Statesman's long established web-presence coupled with our top-notch in-house expertise means we can provide the sort of targeted, value-added content that those born into the digital era demand. Sponsoring sections and special elements on anywhere on our websites will not only promote the brand but also emphasise the brand-values of the sponsor.
