Traditionally, Public Relations for the Resources sector focused more on language than imagery. That was fine for newspapers, where readers took the time to read articles; however, today, images drive all media.

You have more competitors than you think

One of the most finite resources of our era is attention. It is why many of the most successful companies in the world are competing in what they term the 'attention economy'. You're competing for the same attention from investors through to government, communities, and the public. To be competitive in this space, you need an advanced, visually-driven Media Centre solution like Lookatmedia™.

Business media

One look at the online version of financial publications shows how much they depend on images to illustrate their articles. It also becomes clear that the images they use are of a lesser standard than other online media. This presents an opportunity for resource companies that want to increase their exposure in this publication. By combining punchy headlines, strong leads, and compelling images, you have a greater chance of moving to the top of the priority list for journalists and editors.
