Media Training UK

Media Training UK. Feel confident, expert, and in control when appearing in the media.

Are your leaders missing media opportunities, because they lack confidence?

Do you regularly have to say no to journalists' enquiries because your colleagues aren't fluent enough in your key messages? 

Is a simple lack of communication skill and practical experience hindering your organisation from sharing thought leadership?

Maybe these scenarios sound familiar...

A call from a journalist isn't something to fear, it's something to get excited about!

Penny Haslam is the MD of Bit Famous Ltd. She's a motivational speaker, author, coach and trainer.

The plan is simple: you learn how to prepare and perform, so you can confidently share your expertise when you're under pressure.

A call from a journalist or podcaster isn't something to fear, but so many people do - especially when they're representing their organisation at high level.

Marvellous Media Training encourages clients to position themselves as credible expert commentators rather than hard put upon company spokespeople. They then see that appearing as a guest interviewee is a golden opportunity to share knowledge and experience.

Your job is made easier because it's easier to sell in expertise, than it is stories.

We've enabled 100s of individuals in organisations of all sizes and sectors to feel confident about appearing on the media. And they leave our training days actually excited about the prospect!

Marvellous Media Training will give your people:
