In a world focused on digital media, 24-hour news channels and social channels, it’s really important to communicate with your audience – there are lots of opportunities to do this if you are interviewed by journalists.  There’s the chance to deliver expert comments or take part in in-depth features or give a quote about your business or organisation. The media wants to stay relevant and engaged with its audience and you can play a part in that and talk to your audience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In our Broadcast Media Training Courses, we will teach you the best ways to share your story, how to answer those difficult questions and present yourself with confidence and style. This means you will capitalise on every opportunity. Our broadcast media and media interview training courses include: CRISIS MEDIA TRAINING BENEFITS  There are many reasons why businesses and organisations suddenly find themselves trending on social media or being talked about in the broadcast media. When something goes wrong, your every move is watched and then commented on online, putting you and your teams under even more pressure.  So if the worst should happen and you find yourself or your company or business suddenly in the public eye, you need to be prepared. We’ll help you learn how to manage your response ensuring clarity and confidence. It’s vital you don’t leave a vacuum for others to fill so let us help you respond effectively. WHY WOULD I EVER NEED CRISIS TRAINING? Brand reputation is the most important asset we have in the digital media age. Audiences want to engage with organisations which have credibility and authenticity. A crisis – not always of your making – can quickly undermine that if it’s handled badly. Communication is at the heart of crisis media training and we can show you how to deal with a wide range of situations, address concerns and criticism and ensure your message reaches audiences under the most pressured circumstances. WHO NEEDS TO ATTEND THE TRAINING? Crisis Media Training isn’t just for the most senior CEO’s or Managing Directors. In order to support the authenticity of your response it’s important the people on the ground can talk to the public. And in the age of social media, if you’re talking to the public, you’re talking to the media. So the people dealing with the crisis are the people who should know how to communicate in a crisis. There are times when the top bosses must talk as they are accountable and are happy to demonstrate that level of responsibility. But the media will also ask to talk to the people handling the problem and we can show them how. HOW DO I BOOK CRISIS MEDIA TRAINING? We can help you create the perfect training to stress test your messaging and make sure you’re ready to deliver your message if you find yourselves unexpectedly in the news. We’ll help you deal with challenging questions and diffuse the most tense of interviews. But our main criteria is that we design the training you want so we’ll work with you to create the perfect course. All you have to do is give one of our friendly team a ring on 0754 533 4269 or email us.info@cocomms.co.uk

This means you will capitalise on every opportunity. Our broadcast media and media interview training courses include: EXPLOITING THE OPPORTUNITY The world of digital media means there are lots of opportunities to appear online, on radio or on TV, as an expert or commentator and gain invaluable exposure for your business and organisation. You may meet journalists at industry events or be contacted for a comment on an issue. You may also need media training because you have to protect your business’ reputation by reacting proactively if you become involved in a news story. Media training will help you handle interviews with journalists, content creators and other media professionals. You need to communicate positively and effectively and make sure your message reaches the audience. It means speaking consistently, and with style and confidence. You’ll also need to know how to handle challenging questions and make sure you positively manage your reputation. CONTEMPORARY MEDIA TRAINING Our media training is interactive, engaging and importantly, carried out by experienced journalist trainers. Our team has worked at the highest levels of journalism and broadcasting and will give you an invaluable insight into how to maximise the opportunity of a media appearance. We will take you through the background of what journalists want and need, and give you a clear understanding of how to prepare and deliver your messages and ideas. We will then carry out a number of media style interviews which our technical team will record and playback so you can see and hear yourself. We will then support you with practical, inclusive and useful feedback for you to put into practice for the next interview. We provide copies of all your recordings and useful notes after the training. LOCATIONS THAT SUIT YOU We deliver training at our facilities in Birmingham or London or at your location, bringing our technical equipment and cameras with us. You can have a half day training session for up to 4 people or a full day training for a larger group. We also deliver training online for small groups which can be useful when teams are spread around the country. EXPERT JOURNALIST TRAINERS We pride ourselves on two things at Coherent Comms – delivering contemporary media training and our supportive inclusive feedback. We know there are lots of media training companies out there but our clients tell us they work with us because we listen. We don’t tell you what training you need or hark back to the old days. We take on board your communication needs and deliver bespoke training. Our associates are working in digital communications, carrying out interviews for news online sites and our contacts are producing digital content for a 21st century audience. We’ll talk to you about TV and radio but we understand the wider media landscape and how to navigate it.  And we’re really proud of our feedback – we want to take you from good to great and believe  confidence building  with tips and ideas that will work for you is the best way to develop your skills. WE WILL HELP YOU DESIGN THE COURSE YOU WANT All our media training is bespoke and designed to exactly suit your needs. We have lots of ideas of how it might work but we want to hear from you and what you want! So get in touch with our friendly team by phone on 0754 533 4269 or fill in our contact form and we will get back to you. We’d love to hear how you hope to improve your media and communication skills.
