Museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions have rich veins of original images and video collections underutilised. They are particularly undervalued in a media relations sense. Lookatmedia™ can breathe new life into these collections and media profiles.
The value of increased media exposure
Your institution probably focuses most of its media resources on new exhibitions or calendars of events. While they are valuable, they only tell part of the story. Your institution has myriad media-friendly stories to tell, and Lookatmedia™ is the platform to do it.
Visual storytelling
A talented PR person can take the same ten images, arrange them in ten different ways, and tell ten different stories. Imagine what they could do with tens or hundreds of thousands of images. Imagine the human-interest stories. Image the novel, strange and beautiful editorials. Imagine the ’10 things you must experience’ listicles focused solely on your institutions. They are just part of the potential your Lookatmedia™ centre can unlock from your image and video library.
Creating an accessible collection of digital assets
Lookatmedia™ understand the value of visual content to the media. We live in an age when images drive all our communication and news. It just happens you’re sitting on a veritable gold mine of content ideally suited to the media’s needs. All you need to do is show them where to dig. Once you have created a collection of pre-approved images and videos in Lookatmedia™, you can use those assets to illustrate content and provide the media with low friction 24/7/365 days a year access.
The ideal media solution for the cultural space

‘We’ve extended our opening hours’
Your team may work strange hours, they may start before light preparing exhibitions, and they may work late into the night on live events. Irregular hours are the one thing you have in common with the media. Journalists work all hours of the day, from locations worldwide, to meet their deadlines. No matter what hours your PR team works, it won’t be enough to meet the needs of a 24/7 news cycle. This is where Lookatmedia™ enters the frame. It’s a platform that allows your team to create content and resources that the media can access from any location at any time. When journalists go to your media centre, they can begin their journey of discovery, finding the news, events, and storylines they need to create their content. They then register to download pre-approved images and videos. You get a new list of media contacts and reports on what has been downloaded, and by whom. With the addition of one new member, your PR team is now open 24/7/365 days a year.
