Wigwam is an online property and lifestyle magazine that brings you the latest property news from across Swindon and the surrounding areas.

Wigwam was set up with one overriding purpose, to give a voice to Swindon’s property sector and by extension, promote Swindon as a thriving, modern town and share positive news and lifestyle features that support the Swindon property community.

Since our launch in April 2020 we have been sharing ‘good news’ stories about the property sector in Swindon and the surrounding area. More recently, we’ve added a healthy dash of lifestyle features, interviews and business reviews.

In that period of time, we have built fruitful relationships with platform sponsors and advertisers who value the ongoing exposure they receive on the website, social media and magazine.

Whether your business is property development, estate agency, conveyancing, property finance, interior design, building or lifestyle related, Wigwam provides a great opportunity to showcase your products or services on a premium website and in a premium magazine.

Here are some of the things we can do for your business.

• Share news stories on the Wigwam website
• Write/edit your news stories for the Wigwam website
• Publish news stories in the quarterly Wigwam print magazine
• Write/edit your news stories for the Wigwam magazine

• Create video content to promote your business
• Provide professional photography services for your marketing

• Offer a range of advertising options on the website

We’re really charitable

We’ll be supporting carefully selected local charitable organisations to promote their services and fundraising activities via our digital and print outlets. This will be a ‘free to use’ service for these charity partners.

'Jazzy' Jeff King - Editor

Jeff is a former football journalist whose writing CV also includes fiction, politics and music. Despite editing Wigwam and being fascinated by the property sector, Jeff is not a man to ask for financial advice; he invested in properties in London and Barcelona immediately before the house price crashes of 1990 and 2008 respectively! As a born masochist he is a Red Member at Arsenal. When they lose to Tottenham, he consoles himself by listening to sad records by Chet Baker. On his Wigwam days off, Jeff studies History of Art at Oxford University. Surrounded at Wigwam by designers, his favourite saying is “a picture paints a thousand words but a choice word seals the deal”..
