Boffin Media offers high quality, tailor-made training to prepare individuals or groups for print, radio and television interviews. Dealing with the media needn't be scary and we can provide an insider’s view of how a journalist works and what the journalist wants, giving you a head start in getting your message across in the most media-friendly way.
Radio
Basic or advanced radio training – for lives, pre-records, studio discussions, news or features - on the subject of your choice. Each person is interviewed several times, given feedback and advice. Simple but effective exercises will also help improve your delivery. Day or half day.
Television
Basic or advanced television training to enhance a person’s communication, appearance and presentation skills. There's hands on experience in front of a camera with constuctive feedback and industry tips. Day or half day.
Print
Don’t think this is the easy media option, if a journalist interviews you personally or over the telephone for a print interview. What you say and how you say it is vitally important in order to communicate the right message.
Groups
Boffin Media can provide group sessions that will demystify and explain the journalist’s role in an interview. TV and radio reports are dissected, placed in context and analysed for a fuller understanding of broadcast journalism. Selected group members will be interviewed for professional discussion and feedback.
Shotgun Service
Trust us, journalists are not always out to get you. But if you are worried about a tough ride, we can prepare you for anything. So if you are called upon at short notice to give an interview, don’t panic. We will provide a ‘shotgun’ service over the phone, or in person, to help you calm those nerves and prepare for that interview – no matter how difficult – with a journalistic dry run.
Competitive Rates
Media training should be an essential part of an organisation’s communication programme - not a luxury. Our rates are extremely competitive because, for basic radio and television training, we operate our own equipment. This way you also receive the experience of two multi-skilled, BBC trained, working journalists for the price of one.
For more advanced television training, we hire a crew and pass on the cost directly with no add on charges. Contact us with details of what you would like and we’ll provide a custom made quote. We are happy to provide testimonials from an increasingly long list of satisfied clients.
