Elite Media Training

We have access to some of the country’s leading media trainers. Our team of experts have vast experience in television, radio, print journalism and social media. They are all currently working right at the very top of their professions.

Training can be provided on a one to one basis, or in groups. Each session is tailored according to the client’s individual needs.

Broadcast Media Training

As the number of broadcast networks increases, so do the chances of any of us being asked to appear on television or radio. Preparation is the key to success. Our trainers are always accompanied by a professional camera operator. We run introductory courses for those who have no previous experience, and advanced sessions for those who want to practice facing more of a Jeremy Paxman style grilling. You’ll watch your interviews being played back, and learn from the trainers’ advice. The mock interviews can be for television or radio, in a studio setting or “down the line” straight to a camera lens.

Social Media Training

Social media is becoming an increasingly important part of the working lives of many of us. When it’s used effectively it can bring great benefits for a business or an individual, but mistakes can cause untold damage. Whatever your level of experience in social media, our training provides vital education. Our trainer, Sue Llewellyn, has already helped more than 4,000 people get up to speed with social media.

Crisis Management Scenarios

Nothing can fully prepare a company for a major unexpected issue, but our crisis management scenario training will give your staff the best possible grounding. Clients are divided into groups of no more than six people. Each group is set a different scenario, every one of them tailored specifically to your company’s needs. As the scenarios develop you’ll find yourself interacting on social media, while delivering interviews for television, radio and newspapers. All the scenarios conclude with a press conference. There’s no better way to learn how to cope with the most intense media pressure. These sessions are also excellent team building exercises.
