Understanding the Media

We provide insider insight into what drives news coverage, the rights you have — and don’t have — during an interview, and how to establish important ground rules to ensure you aren’t caught off guard.

Taking Command in an Interview

Great news. A reporter wants to interview youー but how can you make the most of it? Our training prepares you to take control of any interview and deliver the key messages that help you reach your target audience and strategic goals.

Messaging Workshop

People remember soundbites, not stats. Our team helps you workshop and test messaging that is succinct and effective. Ahead of the mock interviews, we develop targeted talking points, discuss topics to avoid, and prepare to deliver memorable quotes.

Mock Interviews

Practice like you play. Utilizing our studio or a virtual meeting, our experienced team of former journalists will simulate realistic and risk-free interviews. We provide thoughtful feedback to help you improve and feel confident when that pivotal interview opportunity comes your way.
