What We Do

The Cities Today Studio is the independent content-marketing arm of Cities Today, the leading knowledge platform for city leaders. Our team includes experienced writers and editors, digital marketing and business development executives, and creative directors with more than a decade’s experience of working with the public sector.

Content Creation

High-quality content is the foundation of marketing success. Our editorial team will assist your organisation with designing and fulfilling a content strategy to deliver on your business goals.

Contract Publishing

We have worked with UN agencies, government agencies, international and regional city associations and international transport associations to write, edit and design reports, conference newspapers and membership brochures.

Inbound Marketing

Inbound marketing means offering your target audience useful content that inspires them to find you and to learn more about your organisation.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

We will audit your site, optimise content, and create landing pages to generate data and leads. All of the content we generate for you will be optimised for search engine results.

Lead Generation

We use inbound marketing software to manage paid and organic demand generation and to provide full analytics on engagement.

PR & Social Media

We offer a one-stop shop combining content, marketing and PR that enables you to communicate effectively with your target audiences.

“The people who win big on the web are media/content companies. A savvy inbound marketer learns from the media companies and is half traditional marketer and half content publisher.”

– Brian Halligan, CEO and Founder, HubSpot
