Program
outcomes
Consistency across media formats
Deliver clear, relevant messages across print, broadcast, digital and audio formats, ensuring coverage strengthens rather than fragments the brand narrative.


Stories that earn coverage
Learn how to shape and deliver stories that meet the needs of the journalist, suit the outlet and inform audiences - so interviews are published and support business goals.
Control under scrutiny
Maintain clarity and composure when interviews are challenging or unexpected, reducing the risk of misquotes, distortion or coverage that undermines trust.


Sought-after source
Become a credible, reliable spokesperson who delivers value for journalists, increasing the likelihood of coverage.

Interviews are
more than Q&A
Media interviews aren’t passive conversations. They are pressure moments where you must anticipate questions, uphold message integrity, manage unpredictability and maintain composure. Many capable professionals struggle because they focus on answering questions rather than communicating with purpose. This program teaches how to frame, deliver and sustain key messages with confidence and relevance across formats - broadcast, print, radio, podcasts and social video.

Media training that starts
before interviews
Media interviews done well lead to coverage, credibility and influence. Done poorly, they don’t get published at all - or worse, they do, and undermine trust, create confusion or damage reputations. A lot of work goes into creating the right interview environment before you’re asked a single question. Learn what it takes to earn coverage and strengthen the brand – in friendly and hostile media environments.

Serve dual
interests
Learn how to deliver interviews that work for both the media and the brand. Participants will understand what an outlet needs, plan and contribute stories that add real value. So interviews inform rather than promote. The result is being seen as a credible, reliable source journalists return to - while still advancing the brand’s position with integrity and cementing positive sentiment and share of voice.
