Social Value Statement – Hubspoke Media

At Hubspoke Media, we believe great marketing should create positive impact as well as commercial results.

Social value is part of how we work day-to-day, showing up for our community, backing local talent, and helping purpose-led organisations make more impact with their marketing.

Our focus areas: Community support; sport and wellbeing; education, skills and careers; entrepreneurship and local growth; supporting charities and not-for-profits.

• Supporting charities: We offer a 10% discount on our services for registered charities —helping budgets go further without compromising on quality.
• TeamLuke Foundation support: We’re proud to support the TeamLuke Foundation with marketing and media support—provided free of charge in 2025 and delivered at cost in 2026.
• Backing local sport: We support local sports clubs such as Darlington Rugby Football Club through sponsorship and offering services in kind where they can make the biggest difference.
• Supporting local talent: We help young athletes focus on development and performance through player sponsorship.
• Careers, skills and employability: We attend local school events to offer careers talks, practical guidance, and a real-world view of marketing, media and creative roles.
• Encouraging entrepreneurship: We take part in local business events as guest speakers—sharing what we’ve learned and encouraging more people to take the step into start-ups and self-employment.
• Working with education partners: We’re members of the Darlington College Employers Forum, helping connect learning with industry needs and supporting local pathways into work.
• Inclusive and accessible content: We aim to produce clear, audience-appropriate messaging and encourage accessible formats across channels.
• Ethical marketing: We promote transparent, responsible advertising and avoid misleading or harmful claims.
