Alcohol Industry Content Strategy & Planning

Plan useful alcohol industry content around the needs of trade readers, business buyers and brand audiences.

The commission

What the work covers

Review existing alcohol industry content, intended readers and business questions to identify useful topics and suitable publishing formats. Develop an achievable programme with evidence requirements, ownership, approval stages and review dates.

How we approach the work

  1. Agree audience needs, business objectives and available publishing resources.
  2. Review current material and identify supported content opportunities.
  3. Prioritise the programme and assign production and review responsibilities.

Scope and boundaries

Plans specify ownership, evidence, rights, commissioning disclosures and approvals, with promotional content identified appropriately. International content planning excludes campaigns intended to influence non-UK public decisions.

Scope and independence

Lobbying and representation before public authorities are delivered directly by Alcohol Ltd within the UK and only in relation to UK public bodies. We do not undertake or arrange lobbying of foreign governments, legislatures, regulators or international public bodies, directly, remotely or through intermediaries.

International work covers research, commercial analysis, media, publishing and private-sector trade event support. It excludes campaigns to influence non-UK public decisions, representation to non-UK public authorities and arranging others to provide those services.

Commissioned or promotional content identifies the commissioning relationship and advertising status where applicable. Evidence, rights, subscriber permissions and measurement methods are agreed for the intended use. Search work follows relevant platform policies; rankings, traffic and AI citations are not guaranteed.

Client approval concerns commissioned deliverables and factual checks. Editors retain responsibility for independent publication, corrections and removal decisions. A commercial commission does not buy favourable independent coverage, the suppression of legitimate reporting, editorial endorsement or control over our policy positions. Confidential journalistic sources are not made available through commercial client approval.

Our regulated editorial material follows the Editors' Code of Practice, including accuracy, distinguishing fact from opinion and conjecture, privacy and timely corrections with due prominence. IPSO regulates editorial material within its remit; it does not approve our consultancy, research, PR or lobbying services. Advertising is clearly identified where applicable.

Appointments require an agreed written brief and checks on the client, conflicts, sanctions and any applicable registration, disclosure, data-use and permission requirements before work begins. Scope, fees and responsibilities are agreed separately, subject to our service and jurisdictional terms.
