Why We Are Different

  • Your requirement is unique and requires a bespoke response. We are not a media training factory.
  • We offer a huge range of options in terms of price, venues and content.
  • Our level of research and attention to detail is unusual. In order to be effective, we believe we need detailed understanding of your business before the session begins.
  • We are experts both as journalists and trainers. All trainers have had high-profile jobs in national TV and most have been providing training for 15 years or more.
  • We build confidence. We understand appearing in front of TV cameras is daunting. Our sessions are designed to build skills gradually so when you are interviewed for TV in the afternoon, you will have gained confidence, composure and competence.
  • We are the PRCA’s only provider for media training surgeries. The PRCA is the largest PR professional body in the world, representing well over 30,000 practitioners.
