What we do
Our services are built around the skills we have developed as journalists and communications professionals.
We can help you prepare for broadcast interviews because we have been the journalists and producers asking the questions.
We have handled crises both as journalists and as the communications leads mitigating them.
We understand communications strategy because we have effectively delivered it in large and small organisations.
We understand audiences and what gets their attention.

Media training
Working one-to-one or in small groups we discuss what makes good or bad news stories, how to handle media inquiries and how to shape your message. We record mock live and pre-recorded interviews to put the theory into practice, and then offer constructive feedback.
Media training sessions, can be online, at your offices, at a different location or in a TV studio convenient for the group. We offer short sessions or full-day workshops. All the recording equipment is provided and before the training, we work with you to discuss the interview scenario to make it as realistic, and as useful, as possible.
We share recordings with you if you wish but these are sent securely and deleted after the course, so everything is confidential and risk-free.

Content creation training
Creating short videos does not need to be time-consuming or expensive. We teach you how to make a video in just minutes using a smartphone. It can be uploaded directly onto social media channels or used on a website or for a presentation. The arguments for using video are compelling:
-
82.5% of all global internet traffic
-
91% of businesses use video as a core marketing and communication tool
-
Audiences retain 95% of a message in a video, compared to just 10% when reading text.
Most people we work with don't have any technical understanding of video formats, so we explain the basics clearly and simply.
The training is best carried out in a small group of 5-6 people across one day, and everyone finishes the session with a video that they can use on a commuications channel.
