A cost effective advertising vehicle, that reaches some of the wealthiest homes in Southend.
Both Thorpe Bay Oracle and Leigh Oracle magazines are highly cost-effective ways to target and advertise to the more affluent, high-value AB customers of Southend, which most local businesses want.
Emma Wynne-Morgan launched her business in the summer of 2005 having identified a publishing gap in the local market. Emma worked as a media planner/buyer many years ago before starting a family and was trained at JWT, one of the top London advertising agencies. With her training, Emma understands how important it is for clients not to waste money when advertising. With this in mind Oracle was born. Oracle prides itself on its professionalism, customer care and reliability. The Thorpe Bay Oracle magazine was launched in September 2005 and was awarded the 2006 National Community Magazine of the month by the 4th issue ahead of 700 entries! Due to popular, local demand the Leigh-on-Sea Oracle magazine, was launched in October 2006, also designed to become indispensable reading for local residents in Leigh. Bearing in mind this affluent area, it was perfect for Oracle's existing and potential clients.

Oracle Advertisers' Benefits
- Great Value for Southend advertisers: Hit the high-value Southend audience you want for a whole year for less than the cost of a single week advertising in the local newspapers.

- Truly Local advertising for Southend: There's strong evidence truly local services/businesses are preferred by most residents.
- Longevity: Oracle Magazines are usually retained for the whole month unlike many free Southend newspapers/magazines.
- Independent advertising vehicle: Oracle Publications is a small, local, independently-run publishing business in Southend. It prides itself on its efficiency, good customer service and professionalism.
- A Magazine Publisher committed to High Quality advertising: Glossy throughout, full-colour 200gsm cover and 130gsm inside. Professionally finished artwork ensures both Oracle magazines - and therefore you're advertising - looks its best.
- Advertorial Opportunities: Each month businesses can feature in their own two-page editorial spread (advertorial) giving a depth of advertising coverage normally only available to advertisers in other local Southend publications at considerable expense. This is an opportunity for your potential client to have an insight into your business.
- Highly effective advertising: As Leigh-on-Sea and Thorpe Bay are predominantly affluent residential areas of Southend, advertising businesses nearby have a great opportunity to build significant market share with an on-going advertising campaign. Oracle magazines present the most effective way for Southend businesses to market and advertise themselves and advertise to these high-value areas.
Distribution
- Each issue is hand delivered by reliable staff on a solus basis, directly through each resident's door. Distributing to 10,000 homes across Thorpe Bay and Leigh on Sea, Oracle does not use distribution companies therefore can guarantee safe delivery of its magazines.
Format & Design
- A5, stapled, glossy throughout, and predominantly colour. The size makes the magazines ideal to place besides the resident's computer, on a coffee table or pop into a handbag/briefcase.
- Oracle publications' local magazines have presence and longevity. Many magazines are kept by local residents until the next magazine issue, thereby giving advertisers 'immediacy of access' when their services are required.
