Shephard Media Partners With Navy Lookout
Shephard Media has partnered with Navy Lookout in a move that will see the two organisations work together to bring the best independent naval news to global defence decision-makers.
Combining the resources of the two organisations enables breaking news to be delivered faster, whilst features and analysis can be broader in scope without losing any of their trusted thoughtfulness readers of both sites have come to expect.
The alliance also merges the Navy Lookout and Shephard communities, providing a robust forum for readers to debate and learn about the key issues facing the naval domain whilst also offering advertisers more options for campaign targeting.

It’s another way Shephard is providing the gold standard in defence problem-solving solutions,” Darren Lake, CEO of Shephard Media stated.
