We are a long-established niche media training company providing tailored media training, presentation training, crisis management training and writing training. We have a range of highly experienced trainers who deliver bespoke courses for a wide range of organisations.
At Communicate Media we use experienced, highly qualified media trainers/journalists working under strict confidentiality agreements to explain how the media works and what journalists are looking for in an interviewee before giving you and your colleagues realistic media interviews followed by detailed, constructive feedback. We’ve helped hundreds of organisations and individuals around the world since 1994 and we’d be very interested in working with you.
Our presentation training courses, which are run by speechwriters and voice coaches, will help you write and deliver presentations that grab and hold the attention of your audience and greatly increase the chances of them taking the action that you want them to take.
All of our communications trainers are well-versed in the tricks and the psychology of effective business communication. Communicate Media's training courses are practical, results orientated – and very enjoyable. Whatever your media and business communications need we can create a course that will suit you exactly. So give Gareth a call or send him an email.
