Press Routing

The Fastest Way to Reach the Right Person

Not every media enquiry needs the same response path. Some requests need a quick background note. Others need a role-based interview, a confirmation on public wording, or a pointer to the right publication or release. This page helps route those requests with less friction.

For the fastest response, share your outlet, subject, deadline, desired format, and whether the request is for attribution, background only, or interview coordination.

Fast

Best With Deadlines

Urgent requests are easier to handle when a real publication deadline is provided upfront.

Quote

Request Type

Quote, statement clarification, interview, background note, or publication guidance.

Clear

Preferred Input

Topic, context, publication format, deadline, and attribution requirement.

Controlled

Sensitive Topics

Project-specific and confidential issues may require narrower routing or a controlled response.

What Helps Us Respond Well

The most effective requests are specific. A short brief about what you are covering, what you need, and when you need it usually shortens response time significantly.

That keeps the section easy to scan while still giving enough context for stakeholders who need a little more detail before taking action.

State the outlet and deadline

This helps the team prioritise and determine whether the request needs same-day attention.

Specify attribution level

Tell us if you need an on-record quote, background only, or a routing contact for follow-up.

Be precise on subject matter

Governance, market context, contractor readiness, and service positioning may require different response routes.

Media Contact FAQ

Press Enquiries and Response Routing

Practical guidance to help journalists and stakeholders get a quicker, cleaner response.

What is the best route for a quote request?

Use the contact page or media route and specify topic, deadline, and whether you need an attributed quote or background-only guidance.

Can I request an interview?

Yes, but provide enough detail for the request to be assessed properly, including topic, outlet, intended format, and preferred timing.

Can media contacts share confidential project information?

No. Sensitive project or third-party information is handled through controlled disclosure processes, not general media routing.

What if I only need background context?

That should be stated clearly. Background-only requests are often easier to route than open-ended interview requests.

Where should I look before submitting a request?

The newsroom, media releases, publications page, and annual materials page usually provide the fastest public context before you request follow-up support.

What details help speed up a response?

An outlet name, publication deadline, time zone, topic focus, and clear attribution requirements usually make routing much easier.

Can this route be used for governance or diligence questions?

It can be used for initial routing, but some requests may be redirected to controlled disclosure or company-materials pages if that better fits the purpose.

Does a media request guarantee same-day response?

No. Real deadlines help prioritisation, but response timing still depends on subject matter, availability, and whether clarification is required first.

What is the most common mistake in media requests?

The most common issue is a vague request with no clear deadline, no outlet context, and no explanation of whether the user needs a quote, interview, or background note.
