Media training

Reputations can be made or lost when you step into the public or media arena. The stakes are high and you have to ensure your message gets across effectively.

Bell Pottinger North’s media training team consists of consultants experienced in journalism and public relations, including former BBC TV and radio presenters.

Their experience of working on both sides of the fence means they are ideally placed to provide you with one-to-one or group coaching that will put you in a position to get your unique business message across in the most effective way.

Bell Pottinger North’s courses, which are tailored with practical exercises to suit your individual requirements, cover print, television and radio interviews and they include an opportunity to face the cameras. Typical modules include:

• One-to-one coaching for chief executives and senior directors
• Intensive half or full-day media training workshops with practical exercises
• Presentation training
• Crisis handling and simulation
• Media-handling skills courses for in-house press and marketing executives

In addition to our standard media training courses, Bell Pottinger North can also prepare executives for the announcement of ‘difficult’ news.

This bespoke service is based on over-the-phone role-playing interviews, giving spokespeople the ability to ensure that are appropriately prepared for the likely media response to their news.
