  media training
Back to main page... If you run a business of any size, you probably need to talk to the press from time to time. People are surprisingly bad at this, even when they've done it many times. So I help them to get better at it, with the aim of becoming generally more interesting but without being flayed alive on the Today program.

Media training takes many forms, and I run courses designed specifically for each client depending on the nature of their business and the target media. My focus is on helping people to tell really good stories, rather than sound like politicians – but in these uncertain times I will do almost anything for money, so don't hesitate to ask. My principle expertise is in national, business and trade press, with a smattering of consumer magazines thrown in for good measure; and I also cover online publications and blogs. I am not a broadcast specialist, but I know some people who are.

My list of recent clients includes, but is not limited to:

  • O2

  • Xbox

  • Cisco

  • Canon

  • Toshiba

  • Microsoft

  • Worldpay

  • The Prince's Trust

  • MTV Staying Alive

I'm also available for a wide variety of other, rather more nebulous media consultancy services, most of which are far too complicated to describe in any detail here and which may actually be illegal in your country. If you'd like to know more, send me email:
