About Us

After 12 years of serving as Ad Manager at The Daily Express, Sean Hammond formed Top Desk Media in 2019. During Sean’s time at The Express, he was responsible for the then market-leading franchise section in the national press and served for three years as a judge and co-sponsor on the bfa HSBC Franchise Awards. Top Desk Media now publish Franchise Focused, a regular franchise feature in The Times newspaper.

We produce Franchise Focused, a regular advertorial feature appearing in The Times newspaper. Franchise Focused is produced in partnership with the bfa and provides franchisors with a unique opportunity to reach a mass-scale audience within a franchise-themed environment. We are the only organisation to offer this as no national newspaper in the UK has a franchise section.
