Who are we?

Creative Solutions is a Farmers Weekly service providing bespoke marketing solutions for our advertisers while producing exclusive, informative and inspirational content for our readers. As the market leader in agricultural media we use our award-winning journalists and design team to create compelling stories and campaigns that challenge the status quo and inspire our readers and customers to think differently about the way they do business.

Over the last few years the Creative Solutions team have worked with leading food and agricultural businesses to promote best practice across the industry, reward excellence and tackle key industry issues with powerful communications.

We work across all of Farmers Weekly’s platforms to deliver fully integrated bespoke marketing campaigns targeted at the agricultural community. This includes the support of our editorial, research, sales and marketing teams across print, web, film, social media, research, e-newsletters and face to face.

Our far-reaching brand

The Farmers Weekly brand reaches 97% of those who work in agriculture meaning there’s nowhere better to get your message across.

Whether it’s an event to encourage new entrants into farming, a campaign to stamp out sheep lameness or a research project to get positive coverage of farming in the national press, we aim to produce compelling content that helps our audience be prepared for the future while also allowing a commercial organisation to position itself as a leader on a particular subject area.
