Custom Media Training
Media training is not about viewing the media as adversaries ready to pounce or about learning how to duck the tough questions. Media training is about learning how to develop and present compelling story ideas with words and images and about delivering your key messages clearly, concisely and powerfully in person, over the phone and online, good news or bad.
We deliver high impact, high value corporate and social media training to help you inform, persuade, transform and motivate yourself, your colleagues and your audiences.
We work with you, individually or as a group, to improve your communication skills such as developing key messages, speaking or writing clearly and passionately, and to enhance the connection with your audiences in person and online. The essence of media training is to help you put your best words and images forward when dealing with reporters, producers, show hosts and editors as well as online browsers or bloggers.
If you have a corporate media, social media, website publishing or media training project in mind that you think we can help you with, give us a call. We’d be happy to spend a half an hour offering problem-solving advice or a critique of your print or electronic newsletter or feedback on your current corporate or social media marketing efforts to see if we suit each other. Who knows what might happen after that?
If you're interested in booking a media training session, give us a call at (780) 695-5675 or send us an email using the form in the Contact section.
