Taking an incredibly detailed approach to media relations, Blakeney drove a high impact communications programme focusing on a layering approach – starting with niche trades, working our way up to outlets with a broader appeal. Our strategy focused on deal profiling, newsjacking issues that impact the ESG agenda in the oil and gas sector, and crafting proactive stories that positioned MiQ as a leading authority on methane abatement.

In the first year, Blakeney achieved over 40 trade interviews and 15 national interviews, resulting in high quality coverage which positioned MiQ as a key thought leader, both within the specialist trade arena and within wider conversations on methane abatement. Proactive approaches from prominent journalists demonstrate the success of this strategy, with MiQ’s profile growing outside of its original echo chamber.
