Executive Media Training

The Courses

Gogglebox Media Training is aimed at company managers and executives who would benefit from practical experience of dealing with the media in a variety of broadcast scenarios.

As well as learning how to identify and use any media opportunity to their maximum advantage, we develop a series of realistic role play situations to simulate the radio and television appearances that personnel are likely to encounter which are tailored to the company's specific needs and expertise.

Through this broadcast training delegates learn the vital lessons of crisis management, the basic rules of broadcast techniques and presentation skills and gives them a 'behind the scenes' experience of a television interview.

The Locations

Courses can be run at the client premises or at a convenient venue such as a hotel or conference facility.
