A Media pitch strategy that expands your journalist database

Most media pitches focus on using press releases and events to tell your story to your existing contacts. Lookatmedia™ uses a technique that achieves this while attracting and building your media contacts. Here's how it's done.

Go-slow news pages

Have you mistakenly believed a news page is enough?

Expecting a journalist to use your ‘news page’ on your website to build newsworthy stories on your brand or organisation is like handing a builder a hammer and asking them to build a house. It’s simply not enough to get the job done. Your PR team is always in ‘push’ mode, sending out press releases and spending most of their time trying to convince journalists that writing stories on your organisation are in their best interest. The fact of the matter is if you are not prepared to treat journalists with respect, then they will return the favour.

More or less

Do we actually need online newsroom management software?

Do organisations need online newsroom management software, or can they just add a news page to their corporate website? The answer to this question is another question; do you want to connect with the media to promote your messages and control the narrative on your brand?’

Offset the risk

Financial PR in times of crisis

While trust in the business sector has grown in the last few years, there has been a dramatic decline in confidence in the financial services sector. From 2020 to 2021 alone, the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer shows trust internationally in the financial services sector has dropped by 5 points. Combine this with increasing interest rates, inflation, and the spectre of increased market volatility. It becomes evident that now is the time for financial organisations to prepare for a crisis.

It shouldn’t take a crisis

Really connect with journalists

How do you connect with journalists today? What’s the best way to stay connected and create more media coverage of the stories that are important to you? As it turns out, the best way to achieve connection with journalists is through inbound PR, using newsroom platforms like Lookatmedia™. Here’s why.

PR tools for Investor relations

Investor Relations professionals straddle the world of finance, PR, and communications. In each of these disciplines, visual content plays an increasingly important role. In the PR and communications disciplines, images and video are essential elements for connection and engagement. For PR, the media and public demand visual content.

Thought leaders’ symbiotic relationship with the media

Thought leaders live here

Those who are thought of as thought leaders don’t live in caves. They live in public perception. Public perception of thought leaders is crafted more through the media than any other source. Your blog and social media may help, but PR and media relations have the biggest impact.

Fit for purpose

Which type of journalist is best to tell your story

We can break down journalists into four distinct types: The Storyteller, the Newshound, the Provocateur, and the Systems Analyst. Your goal is to find which kind of journalist is best suited to tell your story and create content that fits their needs. Here’s a brief explanation of each type.

Financial PR

Businesses in the financial sector understand how quickly their brands can wither under the media's intense spotlight. It seems the media are more unforgiving of finance more than any other sector. Rather than risk damaging your brand and reputation, you could have Lookatmedia™ to help you work with the media to grow.
