We are media training specialists and have a wealth of experience in giving people the skills they need as well as knowing what journalists are looking for when it comes to putting you in front of a camera or microphone.
A number of key spokespeople underwent media training with Outwrite.
It was a thorough programme and contained useful advice and valuable practice. The use of experienced reporters and a news cameraman ensured the TV and radio sessions were high-quality.
We have been able to put our new-found skills to use across the media.
Broadcast media interviews are a crucial part of our PR and communications to enhance our reputation. Taking full advantage of such opportunities is of paramount importance.
The media training session helped us understand the key dos and don’ts as well as provided us with vital interview practice.
The instant feedback was really valuable and the knowledge shared by the trainers was very useful.
Our team are now more confident when put in front of the news camera or asked to go on the radio.
