Three Content Pillars

All content will be structured across three distinct verticals to ensure comprehensive coverage and targeted audience engagement.

Coverage includes

  • Bollywood & entertainment updates
  • Indian economy & business news
  • Cultural festivals & events
  • India-UK bilateral stories

Punjabi Content

Coverage includes

  • Punjabi music & entertainment
  • Punjab state news & politics
  • Diaspora community stories
  • Bhangra & cultural events

Coverage includes

  • UK politics & policy
  • Immigration & visa updates
  • Global events with SA impact
  • Community achievements & milestones

Strategy: Each content pillar will have its own visual identity within the BritAsia News brand, allowing targeted content that speaks directly to different audience segments while maintaining overall brand cohesion.

03

4

Establish a dedicated micro-department with focused resources for daily content production

5

04

Team Structure

A lean, focused 3-member team to drive daily operations.

15–60 second news clips

Story Updates

Daily

Polls, breaking news, behind-the-scenes

Focus: Instagram is currently pushing informative carousel content — we will prioritize educational, explainer-style posts to maximize organic reach and algorithm favorability.

07

Revenue Opportunities

BritAsia News is not just a content play — it's a revenue-generating platform with multiple monetisation pathways.

High

Sponsored Content & Brand Partnerships

Partner with brands targeting the BritAsian demographic for sponsored carousel posts, reels, and story takeovers. News-style content has higher trust and engagement, making it premium ad inventory.

Medium

Affiliate Marketing & Product Features

Feature relevant products, services, and events within content — from Bollywood releases to cultural events, food brands, and fashion. Earn commission on referrals and ticket sales.

Medium

Event Promotion & Ticketing

Promote BritAsian community events, concerts, melas, and festivals. Charge for event coverage packages and earn through ticketing partnerships.

Growing

Instagram Subscriptions & Exclusive Content

Leverage Instagram's subscription features to offer exclusive behind-the-scenes content, early access to breaking news, and premium community features.

Long-term

Cross-Platform Syndication

As the brand grows, syndicate content to YouTube, TikTok, and X — each platform unlocking its own monetisation through ads, creator funds, and platform-specific revenue programs.

Strategic

BritAsia TV Cross-Promotion

Drive traffic between BritAsia News and BritAsia TV properties. Use the social platform to promote TV programming, events, and premium content — creating a closed-loop media ecosystem.

Key Insight: News and informational content commands higher CPMs (cost per thousand impressions) than entertainment content. BritAsia News positions itself as premium inventory for advertisers targeting the British Asian market.

08

Why a Dedicated Team

News content demands full-time focus — not a side project.

Daily Consistency

News is time-sensitive. Missing a day means missing relevance. A dedicated team ensures uninterrupted daily output.

Speed

Trending stories must be identified, scripted, designed, and published within hours. This requires a focused, coordinated team.

Design Uniformity

A consistent visual identity builds brand recognition and trust. A dedicated designer ensures every post is on-brand.

Community Monitoring

Active comment and DM management builds audience loyalty and drives algorithm performance. Engagement is a two-way street.

This cannot be handled part-time or alongside other operations.
A focused 3-member team ensures quality, accountability, and growth.
