”The premier resource for accurate, timely, and up-to-date geothermal status updates on current global geothermal companies, news, and events.”MEDIA KIT 2014

This fall, we partnered up with New Zealand based recruitment service on our Job Portal, that will now provide our placement and recruitment services for the global geothermal industry.

We also added the Geothermal Wire podcast series to our offerings, which will feature interviews and discussion rounds with industry representatives. It will provide an additional channel and feature a more personal insight into developments in the industry.

With a loyal and truly diverse following, we look forward to continuing to stay true to our core mission, which is to be the most reliable, one-stop source for independent and objective geothermal industry news and business information.

Being the premier choice for global geothermal news for the main decision makers in the industry, it provides you and your company a rather unique promotional platform.

Our Annual Reader Survey also gave us valuable feedback on our site, our offerings and news coverage, which we are now building into our strategic work and in our collaboration with companies like yours. We hope you find the information in ThinkGeoEnergy’s Media Kit 2014 helpful to plan your marketing efforts for the coming year.

Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Alex(ander) Richter, alex@thinkgeoenergy.com

In our continued efforts to provide the news platform for the global geothermal energy industry, we have over the years worked on many new elements that grad- ually enhanced the value of ThinkGeoEnergy.com both to industry players and beyond.

After introducing a new design in 2012, and our Spanish language service at PiensaGeotermia.com, we finally launched our new ThinkGeoEnergy

Magazine.

It is the first and only independent and dedicated geothermal energy magazine in paper focused on the global geothermal energy industry, covering Affairs, Business, a specific Country feature (New Zealand for this edition), Development, Engineering & Technology and Finance.

The magazine’s content structure and the specific country feature will make it a collector’s item that people will keep on their desks and therefore have a long “shelf life”, increasing the reach of advertisement with a long term value.

ThinkGeoEnergyThinkGeoEnergy’s key mission is to be the most reliable, one-stop source for independent and objective geothermal industry news and business information.
