Working with Samso

Where research becomes recognition.

 

Samso is an independent research media house. If you represent an ASX-listed company, a sector body, or you are simply curious about how Samso might cover your area, this page explains how we work, what membership covers, and how a conversation begins.

Why

 

Why Companies Work with Samso

 

Companies and sector bodies work with Samso for three reasons.

 

The research is taken seriously by readers. The combination of long-form format, geological literacy, and the editorial discipline of weighing both sides means a Samso piece carries weight a marketing video does not. Readers trust the work — and a story carried by trusted research lands differently than one carried by paid promotion.

 

The audience matters. Samso reaches retail investors who do their own work, professional investors looking for primary material on small caps, brokers, family offices, and sector specialists. These are not viewers an algorithm pushed our way for a moment. They are readers who came to Samso to think.

 

Coverage compounds. A single piece of research is a touchpoint. A drumbeat of consistent, depth-led content is a brand. That is the entire logic of the Samso platform — and it is why coverage is best understood as a campaign, not a one-off event.

The Samso Method: Brand Your Story with Research

The Samso Method

The Samso method rests on utilising our four research pillars to support three principles. We call them the three Rs — and together, over time, they are how visibility compounds into brand recognition.


Recency. Be current. Update markets as your project evolves — not weeks after the fact. Investor memory is short, and a story that goes quiet stops being a story.


Relevancy. Be valuable. Speak to what investors actually need to understand. The geology. The strategy. The risks. The numbers behind the headline.


Repetition. Be there. Show up consistently across channels and over time. Visibility is not an event — it is a habit, and habit is what brands recognise.
No single piece of content builds a brand. A drumbeat of recent, relevant, repeated content does.

Two Paths to Coverage

Two paths To Coverage

Samso content is produced under two clearly distinguished paths. Editorial standards, depth of research, and the willingness to weigh both sides are identical across the two. Every published piece is labelled by its path.


Independent Coverage. Samso chooses the subject, the angle and the questions. No fee is paid by the subject. The work is funded by the platform itself. This is the editorial heart of Samso, and it is what gives membership coverage its weight.


Samso Membership. Companies join the membership programme. The fee covers Samso’s research effort, the access required to deliver it at depth, and a place in the distribution footprint. The fee does not buy the conclusion. Risks are weighed, claims are checked, opinions remain Samso’s. Editorial control rests with Samso, and every piece is published with a Samso Member label and a tier indicator at the top.


The reason for the distinction is simple. If readers cannot tell which path a piece took, every piece loses its weight. By labelling honestly, both paths retain their value — and the membership coverage benefits, not suffers, from the discipline.

What We Cover


Samso is sector-agnostic. The discussion — depth, weighing both sides, translating technical material into investor-grade understanding — is the same whether the subject is a small-cap gold explorer, a critical minerals developer, a healthcare innovator or a media-and-technology business. The founder’s lens is strongest in metals, mining, critical minerals and the commodities side of the energy transition. The editorial standard is identical across every sector.


If your project or company sits outside the areas where Samso can add genuine research depth, we will tell you so. A short, honest no is more useful than a polite yes that produces work neither of us would be proud of.

 

The Visibility Engine
Behind every Samso membership runs the same workflow. We call it the Visibility Engine.
1. Understand the story. Projects, milestones, catalysts, the investment narrative — drawn out, organised, agreed.
2. Create the content. Coffee with Samso, Samso News, Samso Insights, and Amplification across all four channels.
3. Distribute consistently. Website, YouTube, podcast, email subscribers, and the social platforms — owned every step.
4. Build recognition over time. Visibility compounds. The three Rs turn touchpoints into brand.
The first month of a membership is overwhelmingly step one — getting the story right. The remaining months are about steps two, three and four executed consistently.

 

How to start a conversation
Contact Noel directly. The first conversation is short, exploratory, and carries no expectation on either side. If there is a fit, we will explain which membership tier the work would sit in, what the editorial standards mean for the piece, what disclosures will appear, and what timeframe is realistic. If there is not a fit, we will say so.
