Native Advertising in Dundee
Running paid content that sits inside editorial for Dundee businesses, under a rule that governs the whole format. Advertising must be obviously identifiable as advertising, so the disclosure is not a compliance afterthought applied to a finished piece — it is a constraint the creative has to work within from the start.
Why this comes up
The problem
A sponsored article ran with the label below the fold, and both the publisher and the brand were complained about.
What you get
What we deliver
- Disclosure agreed with the publisher up front, positioned where readers see it first
- Content written to be worth reading, since a disguised advert performs badly anyway
- Publisher selection based on audience rather than on reach figures
- Claims checked to the same standard as any other advertising you run
- Links and attribution handled so paid placements do not create search problems
- Performance judged on engagement and effect rather than on impressions delivered

Native Advertising in Dundee — common questions
- How prominent must the disclosure be?
- Obvious before the reader engages, not discoverable afterwards. Labels below the article, in small grey type, or using vague wording like brought to you by have all been found insufficient — the test is whether an ordinary reader would immediately recognise it as advertising.
- Does disclosure ruin performance?
- Less than people fear, and concealment is not the alternative anyway. Readers who feel misled respond badly to the brand, which is a worse outcome than a smaller audience — and content genuinely worth reading performs acceptably with the label attached.
- Who is responsible if it goes wrong?
- Both parties, in practice. The publisher carries obligations and the advertiser remains responsible for its own advertising, so an arrangement where the brand assumed the publisher would handle disclosure protects nobody when a complaint is made.
- Do paid links cause search problems?
- They can, where links pass value without being marked. Paid placements should use the appropriate attributes, and a campaign built partly to acquire links is doing something search guidelines treat as manipulation — which is a separate risk from the advertising rules.
- Do you work with businesses across Dundee City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Dundee and the surrounding Dundee City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Dundee businesses do you usually work with?
- Interactive and games-adjacent development, plus life sciences data systems tied to the university research base. Beyond that we work across Games & Digital, Life Sciences, Higher Education, Healthcare and Marine.
- Do you cover the areas around Dundee?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Perth, Aberdeen, Edinburgh. Dundee is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Dundee City region rather than the city boundary alone.
