Media Training
Create a team of confident, competent and resilient spokespeople with our expert media training.
In a training session with us your team will gain:
-
an understanding of how the media works and what makes news in order to predict, understand and engage with the media effectively
-
the ability to communicate key messages, whatever the situation and to whichever audience
-
the skills to handle positive and hostile questions effectively (from your stakeholders or the media)
-
the psychological and the practical tools to become a confident, relaxed and effective communicator
All our media training is designed around your specific requirements.
We research your organisation, your media expectations and the upcoming issues faced by each delegate.
We then craft your course to suit you. Do you need scenario media training or help preparing for an upcoming launch? Do you require a state-of-the-art studio or would you prefer us to bring our equipment to you? Are you likely to face interviews on Newsnight or This Morning?
The question areas will be designed to ensure they are relevant, timely and challenging. The toughest interviews your team will face will be with us. But although they will be challenging, our training takes place in a supportive and friendly environment.
The overwhelming majority of our delegates stress how much they ENJOY the training. All delegates leave with a memory stick or secure upload showing a dramatic transition over a period of a few hours. We are there to support you after the training day. Whether you want a media training top-up before an important interview or just a chat on the phone – give us a call.
Why not record a video podcast during your media training?
This is an increasingly popular option for our clients and at little or no extra cost. By the end of the session you will be on message and vastly more confident. What better time to a record a video podcast with our professional camera operator, which you can upload to your website.
