UrbanMixr.uk is published by Aegean Urban Media Ltd, a private company limited by shares registered in Cyprus (HE 486271). As a digital culture and city-life publication focused on the United Kingdom, we are committed to transparency about how we fund our journalism and the commercial relationships that support it. This page explains the different ways UrbanMixr.uk generates revenue and how we ensure our editorial content remains independent and trustworthy. For full background on our ownership and funding model, please see our Ownership & Funding page.
How We Are Funded
Our operations are funded through a mix of income streams that allow us to produce free, accessible content for readers across the UK. These include display advertising, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships, content licensing, event and media partnerships, local advertising packages, and city guide and venue partnerships. We also earn revenue through affiliate links, including ticketing and booking affiliate links. Sponsored or commercial material is always clearly labelled, and our commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. No advertiser or partner has any influence over the stories we choose to cover or the judgements we make in our reporting.
Display Advertising
We run display advertisements on our site from a range of third-party networks and direct advertisers. These ads are clearly separated from editorial content. We do not accept advertising that is misleading, harmful, or incompatible with our editorial values.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links on UrbanMixr.uk are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are used in articles such as city guides, restaurant and bar recommendations, event previews, hotel reviews, shopping guides, and ticketing roundups. Wherever an affiliate link is used, it is clearly disclosed in the article, typically with a note at the top or bottom of the piece. Our affiliate relationships never influence what we recommend or how we write about a product, venue, or experience. For specific queries about affiliate links and ticketing partnerships, you can reach us at affiliate@urbanmixr.uk.
Sponsored Content and Commercial Partnerships
From time to time, UrbanMixr.uk publishes sponsored content, which includes articles, guides, or features that have been paid for by a third party. All sponsored content is clearly labelled as such, using language such as “Sponsored,” “Partner Content,” or “Paid Partnership.” Advertisers and commercial partners have no control over our editorial coverage outside of clearly marked sponsored pieces. Our editorial team retains full independence and oversight of all content. For more details on how we handle sponsored material, please see our Sponsored Content Policy. Advertising and partnership enquiries should be directed to advertising@urbanmixr.uk.
Review and Event Access Disclosures
Our journalists and contributors sometimes receive complimentary tickets, meals, drinks, or other access to events, venues, and experiences for the purposes of review or coverage. This is standard practice in lifestyle and culture journalism. Any such access is accepted solely to facilitate independent reporting and is never a condition of a positive review. Where a reviewer has received complimentary access, this is disclosed within the review itself or in the accompanying editorial note. For a full explanation of our approach to reviews, including how we handle press access, free meals, and event tickets, please see our Reviews Policy.
Editorial Independence
UrbanMixr.uk maintains a strict separation between commercial and editorial operations. No advertiser, sponsor, affiliate partner, or commercial stakeholder has any say in our editorial decisions, story selection, sourcing, or the conclusions we reach in our articles. Our editorial team, led by Editor-in-Chief Andreas Nicolaou, operates independently of any commercial pressures. All editorial content is produced according to our Editorial Policy and Sources & Standards. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, and we do not publish content in exchange for advertising or partnership agreements.
