The Independent is the 2023 Brand of the Year* in the UK and a top 10 digital news brand in the US. It reaches a well-educated, well-informed and well-intentioned readership who lead metropolitan lifestyles in a globally-connected world. They enjoy a broad range of interests from tech to travel, football to theatre and business to music.
As the first news brand to serve its audience entirely online, we have a unique level of understanding of the content that wins their time and attention. We enhance our rich bank of first-party data by collaborating with sophisticated data partners and by commissioning or acquiring complementary data sets of syndicated or proprietary survey-based information. We know our readers well and are skilled in sharing that knowledge with our commercial partners to drive your communications effectiveness.
