What Is a Legacy Item?

Communications that last beyond the project.

A legacy item is a lasting communication piece, project or initiative.

At Press Road Media, we create or assist with legacy items based on sustainability to captures the long-term impact, values and voices behind your work. These aren’t just reports or media assets. They’re enduring artefacts of what your organisation stands for, designed to be remembered, re-used and respected over time.

How We Co-Create Legacy Items

We work alongside organisations to co-design legacy items that reflect not only the work itself but the deeper meaning, relationships and long-term impact behind it. Whether starting from scratch or enhancing an existing idea, we tailor the process to suit your team, goals and timeline.

Our collaboration often includes planning workshops, stakeholder engagement, proposals, and a phased timeline to guide each stage of development. We support the early foundations—helping shape your story, define your audience and develop a format that aligns with your values. Throughout the process, we remain flexible, offering adjustments and check-ins to ensure the item evolves with your needs.

You’ll have the option to retain us as an ongoing partner, or take full ownership of the final item—equipped with the tools and guidance to manage it independently.

We collaborate closely across your teams and stakeholders to ensure everyone who should be part of the story is involved. Where needed, we can also support interviews, sponsorship partnerships and community engagement as part of the legacy-building process.

Why Legacy Items Matter

Legacy items help organisations:

  • Educate a mission based on sustainability, purpose and giving back

  • Show long-term value beyond project deadlines or funding cycles

  • Preserve knowledge for current and future generations

  • Build trust through transparency and storytelling

  • Leave a record of cultural, social or environmental contribution

  • Celebrate people and place in a meaningful, lasting way

They’re especially powerful in sectors like mining, construction, community development, and education, where on-the-ground work may be temporary—but the stories and impact endure.
