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.

Experienced trainers

Boffin Media provides basic or advanced broadcast and print media training – for lives, pre-records, studio discussions, news or features – on the subject of your choice. Each participant receives exercises, multiple interviews, personal feedback and invaluable advice and insider tips. Our training enhances your communication and presentation skills in front of an audience, microphone and camera.

Trust us, journalists are not always out to get you. But if you are worried about a potential rough ride, we can prepare you for anything. Our crisis training focuses on previously discussed scenarios for both one-on-one and large-scale exercises.

Boffin Media can also provide group media awareness sessions to demystify and explain the journalist’s role in an interview. These are interactive and include exercises, interviews and role-play. We also run podcasting and video workshops (using handheld video, phones etc) to give hands-on experience of making your own recordings.

Our clients include: the Wellcome Trust, National Physical Laboratory, Astrium UK, University of Leeds, University of Greenwich, Science and Technology Facilities Council, Natural Environment Research Council, British Antarctic Survey and the British Geological Survey. We have also run training for senior company executives, trade organisations and several charities.

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, our journalists operate their own equipment.

For more advanced television training and larger groups, 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 (or put you in touch with) an increasingly long list of satisfied clients.
