Good Hours Media Kit
A thoughtful place for the right brand.
Good Hours is a modern lifestyle and culture publication about how we live, where we go, what we notice and what we listen to. We work with selected brands, agencies and creative partners whose products, places and ideas make sense within that world.
Direct editorial control
Partnerships are reviewed directly rather than passed through layers of sales and editorial departments.
Fit before volume
Commercial work is accepted because it belongs in Good Hours, not simply because space is available.
Built to be read
Partner content receives the same attention to clarity, photography, typography and reader experience as the wider publication.
01 / The publication
Independent by design.
Good Hours is independently owned and edited, giving commercial partners a direct relationship with the person responsible for the publication’s editorial and publishing decisions.
The publication combines modern lifestyle coverage with a restrained editorial sensibility: useful without becoming instructional, curious without becoming noisy, and commercially open without becoming a catalogue.
02 / The audience
Readers interested in the texture of everyday life.
Good Hours is designed for readers drawn to thoughtful lifestyle and culture coverage rather than constant trend-chasing.
Living
Homes, interiors, objects, design and everyday rituals.
Beauty
Beauty, fragrance, skincare, hair and personal routines.
Travel
Places, hotels, cities and ways of experiencing somewhere differently.
Wellbeing
Daily habits, attention, rest and the practical experience of feeling well.
Music
Listening, artists, albums, spaces and the role music plays in ordinary life.
Culture
Ideas, habits, books, film, technology and contemporary behaviour.
Good Hours is a new independent publication. Verified audience and geographic data will be added to the Media Kit as meaningful reporting history develops.
03 / Partnerships
Ways to work with Good Hours.
Commercial formats are shaped around the story, the amount of editorial work involved and what makes sense for the publication.
Supplied partner feature
Your story, reviewed by Good Hours.
For brands and agencies with a completed article that already matches the publication’s tone, audience and editorial standards.
- Editorial review before acceptance
- Good Hours formatting and presentation
- Reasonable editorial revisions
- Relevant commercial links where appropriate
- Clear partnership disclosure
Bespoke partner feature
Written for Good Hours.
Good Hours develops the concept and creates an original feature from an agreed brand, destination or campaign brief.
- Angle and concept development
- Original feature writing
- Headline and editorial presentation
- Relevant partner links
- Clear partnership disclosure
Bespoke collaboration
For campaigns that need more room.
Suitable for destinations, launches, hospitality, creative projects and selected brands that need a more considered partnership than a single standard article.
Direct advertising
Simple visual presence.
Selected direct display placements may be available for suitable campaigns. Availability, format and pricing are confirmed individually.
04 / Editorial integrity
Commercial work should still belong here.
Good Hours does not treat payment as automatic permission to publish anything. Every commercial proposal is reviewed for subject fit, accuracy, relevance, claims, links and presentation before a partnership is confirmed.
Editorial fit
The subject should make sense within Living, Beauty, Travel, Wellbeing, Music or Culture.
Clear disclosure
Commercial relationships are identified so readers can distinguish partner content from independent editorial coverage.
Editorial control
Good Hours retains control over headlines, language, imagery, links, formatting and final publication suitability.
05 / Not a fit
Some partnerships are an automatic no.
Good Hours does not accept commercial work simply because a budget is available.
- Gambling, betting and casino promotions
- Adult content or dating platforms
- Unverified medical, pharmaceutical or supplement claims
- Weapons, illegal products or unsafe services
- High-risk financial or speculative schemes
- Link farms, automated content operations and backlink-only campaigns
- Material designed to disguise advertising as independent editorial coverage
06 / Rates
Quoted to the work.
Good Hours does not publish a low-cost menu of placements.
Rates are based on the format, amount of editorial work required, whether the content is supplied or commissioned, campaign scope, assets, timing and any additional deliverables.
Agencies with multiple suitable clients are welcome to discuss a broader arrangement, but every individual partnership remains subject to editorial approval.
07 / Process
How it works.
A straightforward process from first brief to publication.

Review

Agree
We confirm the format, deliverables, timing, price and disclosure before work begins.
Publish
