COVID-19 and extreme weather events are just two examples where your constituents and other stakeholders urgently seek information, but that is just the beginning.

Priorities for Local Government communication strategies
Social media provides an excellent and cost-effective way to engage with your community. Email is yet another channel where Local Governments can quickly educate and engage. The common denominator with successful communication strategies on these channels is keeping your messaging simple, segmenting databases to target the right people with the right messaging, posting regularly, and placing visual content at the heart of your strategy.
Why is visual content so important
The average person's attention span has dropped from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds today. In other words, you have just a few seconds to grab attention. You compete in channels where messages are measured in characters, not words. Where images always come first. Nothing works better than visual content. It would be best if you had a foolproof way to capture and hold your viewers' attention.
The science of visual content
The average headline can take three to five seconds to read, and that's if the readers are paying attention. An image takes only 13 milliseconds to understand. That's the blink of an eye. Copy alone cannot compete in an environment with so much competition for attention. Visual content must be at the core of every message you create.

13 milliseconds. That’s all it takes for a human to absorb and understand an image. That’s why more and more communication is visual. Lookatme™ allows you to participate more efficiently and frequently in visual storytelling, using the digital assets in your existing collections.

Understanding how information is absorbed
Sit next to someone on a bus or train. Watch people in public places. See how they scan through their social media feeds. See which emails are deleted and which ones are read. Watch which videos are viewed. See what printed material is read and which is recycled. In every case, the content that captures the attention of viewers and readers uses compelling visual content. If you start with visual content as part of your storytelling, you have a much greater chance of getting your message across.
How Local Governments need to manage visual content
Your images, videos, brand collateral, and other digital assets are valuable and should be treated as such. They should be securely stored in a single location, with backup redundancy. There should only be secure, user-controlled access to these assets, even if they need to be sourced remotely. Every image, video, brand, and other digital asset commissioned should have the correct usage rights and attribution data to ensure you remain compliant. Images and videos should have accurate descriptions and titles to prevent misuse and mistakes. Managing all this is the role of Lookatme™.
