What is the purpose of an expert profile?

Journalists, bloggers and influencers can search Press Loft's expert database to find sources to provide key expert insights to help with their articles. Filling out an expert profile will allow you to be found and contacted by vetted media on Press Loft.

What is an expert comment?

An expert comment, quote or testimonial in a media article is a statement or opinion provided by an individual who has specialised knowledge or expertise in a particular field relevant to the article's subject. These comments are typically used to add credibility, depth, and perspective to the content, helping readers to understand more about the subject through the lens of someone with professional experience or academic background.

Expert comment examples:

Example 1: Interior designer's perspective:

"Incorporating natural elements into your home design can significantly enhance the overall ambiance. Using materials like reclaimed wood, stone, and organic textiles not only adds a touch of nature but also promotes a sense of tranquility and well-being. It's all about creating a harmonious environment where you can unwind and feel connected to the earth."

Sarah Johnson, Lead Interior Designer at Eco Spaces Design Studio.

Example 2: Architectural insight:

"Lighting is one of the most critical aspects of interior design that is often overlooked. Proper lighting can transform a space, making it feel larger, cozier, or more inviting, depending on your needs. I always recommend layering different types of lighting—ambient, task, and accent—to create a versatile and dynamic environment that can adapt to various activities and moods."

Michael Thompson, Principal Architect at Thompson & Co. Architects.

Example 3: Sustainable design advocate:

"Sustainability in interior design goes beyond just using eco-friendly materials. It's about designing spaces that are energy-efficient, durable, and timeless. By choosing high-quality, long-lasting furnishings and fixtures, homeowners can reduce waste and create a more sustainable living environment. Additionally, integrating smart home technology can further enhance energy efficiency, making homes not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible."

Emily Green, Founder of Sustainable Home Solutions.
