Who We've Worked With
FAQs
Who should advertise with CarNews KE?
CarNews KE is ideal for brands seeking to engage the transport sector. We work with vehicle manufacturers, dealerships, financial institutions, insurers, tyre brands, lubricants, workshops, government agencies, and lifestyle brands whose products appeal to motorists.
Can I advertise for a single campaign or product launch?
Yes. Whether you're launching a new vehicle, opening a dealership, or running a seasonal promotion, hosting an event, or announcing a corporate milestone, we can create short-term campaigns alongside ongoing advertising partnerships.
Can you help design our advertising creatives?
Yes. If you don't already have banner artwork, sponsored content copy, or other campaign assets ready, our team can assist with creative production as part of your advertising package. Let us know when submitting your enquiry and we'll include it in your proposal.
Can I advertise even if my business is not automotive?
Yes. CarNews KE isn't just for automotive businesses. If your customers drive, own, finance, insure, or operate vehicles, our platform can help you connect with a highly relevant audience. This includes sectors such as energy, finance, insurance, travel, hospitality, telecommunications, training institutions, and the public sector.
What makes CarNews KE different from other media platforms?
Unlike general news websites, CarNews KE focuses exclusively on the automotive industry. Our audience visits because they are actively researching vehicles, comparing products, seeking automotive services, following industry news, or making purchase decisions. This creates a highly targeted advertising environment.
How quickly can my campaign go live?
Standard display campaigns typically go live within 3-5 business days after artwork and payment are confirmed. Sponsored content and integrated campaigns may take 1-2 weeks, depending on production requirements. Having your brief, brand assets, and campaign goals ready when you reach out will help us move quickly.
