Media Skills Fastclass

Who it helps

Spokespersons, management and Subject Matter Experts from small start-ups to large established organisations. Anyone who is uneasy about the prospect of talking to a journalist or who avoids the opportunities media interviews can offer.

Where it helps

All meetings, conversations and interviews with journalists. Skills for both face-to-face and online occasions. Covering multi-media formats.

How it helps

The media interview is rapidly changing. Journalists no longer need cameras to gather news clips. They can simply broadcast video direct from our webcams. That might seem more convenient for us, but dealing with the media is still fraught with risks. Knowing how to manage media interviews, and how to turn them into opportunities is extremely valuable. Delivered by an industry professional with over 30 years’ experience, this programme coaches people in a range of interview techniques; how to prepare for every question, and how to get our message across. Receive live ‘down-the-line’ style video interview practise and learn how to appear confident and relaxed on camera face-to-face and online.

3 x 1hr live video training for groups, or teams, of up to 6 people.
