Redefining Mining's Image: From Career Opportunities to Economic Impact

The Challenge

The National Mining Association (NMA) faced a dual mission:

  • Address the industry's growing workforce shortage amid increasing demand for raw materials
  • Educate policymakers about mining's crucial role in America's economic and technological future

The Solution

RaffertyWeiss Media created a comprehensive visual storytelling campaign that showed the modern face of mining. Over four days at two US mining locations, we:

  • Interviewed diverse mining professionals across multiple disciplines
  • Captured the high-tech nature of contemporary mining operations
  • Documented environmental stewardship and innovation
  • Built a robust still photography library for ongoing promotion

The Impact

The campaign delivered powerful results across multiple channels:

  • Produced 15 compelling videos showcasing career opportunities in engineering, data science, and environmental services and more.
  • Created a library of 500+ professional photographs for marketing and advocacy purposes
  • Generated content that reached target audiences through:
  • National media broadcasts
  • Social media platforms
  • Policy Briefings
  • Recruitment campaigns

This multimedia campaign successfully repositioned mining as a high-tech, forward-thinking industry while highlighting its essential role in America's economic future. The content continues to serve dual purposes: attracting new talent to the industry while educating policymakers about mining's critical importance to our national infrastructure, economy, and technology sectors.

"I'm now on my third very extensive project with RaffertyWeiss Media and continue to be blown away by the team's capabilities, professionalism and the heart they bring to every single project. To put it simply: this is a team that makes amazing things happen. From filming in underground mines to conducting interviews at 9,000 foot elevations on mountains without paved roads, I never heard a "no" when I asked them what was possible. Aside from the extraordinary production skills, their unparalleled people skills are what make RaffertyWeiss standout from other production and media companies. It's a singular talent to be able to put interview subjects at ease immediately and, in the end product, that comfort comes across to the viewer. You can tell that this is a team that loves what they do, enjoys the process, and takes great pride in delivering an end product that hits all the marks."
