Free and low-cost ways to really get noticed.
Shared where your neighbours already look.
Hate doing social media? Done for you, or done with you.
Doing it all, and still not getting noticed enough?
❌ You do great work, but not enough people know you're here or what you're working on.
❌ Your event or promotion got left to the last minute, and posting it now brings that sinking feeling: "What's the point?"
❌ Social media feels like a second job, and you'd rather be running your business or your cause. Or driving downtown on Queen's move-in weekend.
❌ You've paid for promotion before and had little to show for it.
What working with Kingston Spotlight looks like
✅ More of your neighbours know you, and why they should check you out.
✅ You spend less time on advertising, promotions and social media, and more on the work you love, the work your customers and community count on.
✅ You know what your promotion actually did, because we show you.
"I cannot express enough thanks for all that he did for my fundraiser and what I know he does everyday for countless others."
"The work is remarkable, truly highlighting in the best light what makes Kingston and its residents so special."
Your neighbours already read and follow us
Kingston Spotlight shares local stories, events and good news in our newsletter twice a week, and on social media throughout the week.
Readers come to us to find out about good work happening in the community, who is behind it, and fun and interesting things that may not get attention in other publications.
So when we introduce you, they pay attention.
"You can really tell he wants to do right by the person/cause/business he is writing about."
"Not all marketing is equal... it seems the feedback and exposure is much better than those other options... (& I'm not just sugar coating this. I genuinely mean it!)"
Here's how we'll work together
We can write it, design it, post it and promote it (DFY). Or we can work with your talented team, or that social-media-savvy friend of yours (DWY).
Either way, when your promotion has run, we show you how it did.
Spill the Beans: Tell us what you're promoting, and when people need to act.
Pick Your Mix: We'll suggest a mix that fits your goal and budget, from free newsletter placements and spotlights to social posts and event promotion.
Get Noticed: We handle it, then walk you through the results.
If you keep doing the same old, same old...
The event or promo you care so much about falls flat, and the community misses out.
You keep posting into the void because everyone says you should, then brace for a few sympathy likes (again).
You watch another business or cause get way more attention and results, and wonder what they know that you don't.
