Sonic is a publishing and advertising group communicating with 16-34 year olds through music and lifestyle media.

As an independent publisher it can be hard to make the sums add up. Not many can afford their own sales teams, and even if your site has the profile to attract good advertisers on its own, you need the time chasing down those contacts would take to concentrate on producing amazing content. If you can find time after that, there's the all important technical jobs to keep your title at the top of the pile. Unfortunately passion alone doesn't pay the bills, and bland network ads are only worth a few pence for a whole heap of impressions. It's a classic case of catch 22.

That's where we come in. We understand the world of independent publishers; we are one! Thankfully, we're also able to represent titles, selling advertising space, integrated campaigns and video pre-rolls to bring in some much needed cashflow. More than that, we've got a den full of geeks who can help with the designing, coding and building of sites, allowing those who wish to the space to concentrate on what they do best - the content.

So, in short, we'll give you support, brand new publishing tools, maybe even help build you a brand new site, and give you money for the privilege. Sound like the kind of infrastructure you'd like to be able to tap in to? Well, drop us a line!

  • Make money

    You can't get good ads without a good sales team. We'll give you a dedicated representation selling your title to relevant, premium brands, bands, labels and more. From banner advertising to fully integrated campaigns, we'll work with you to make sure you're making the most of what you've got.

  • Technical support

    Need a new site but can't afford it? Wrestling around with HTML you don't really understand? Have something good, but want something great? We can help you with everything from integrating our advertising through to building and hosting a whole new site. You won't find that offer anywhere else.

  • Video

    We use the premium Brightcove platform adopted by many of the world's top publishers to stream your video content with complete control. More than that, we'll also selectively place advertising and sponsorship around it to give you another revenue stream. Don't have the resources to film your own stuff? We may be able to help with that too!
