What is more important than your responses to the media? The very people who have to deliver them.
More media interviews than ever are being conducted via video communication applications right now. Interview formats may have changed and broadened in the last few months, but journalists, producers, and guest bookers are still in hot pursuit of contributors and speakers.
The question is, are you prepared and primed for interaction with the press?
The PHA Group’s remote, highly-immersive media training sessions will arm you with the skills and techniques to create a lasting, positive impact and make all the right impressions. If you are home-based and unable to participate in face-to-face training, our online media training offers the same standard of excellence with no compromise on quality.
Whether virtual or face-to-face, we specialise in providing bespoke media training solutions to entrepreneurs, captains of industry and FTSE 100 companies, high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry, digital influencers, athletes and clubs in the sporting world, banks, law firms, government, charities and indeed to many other brands, organisations and sectors.
