What clients say
“Olivia’s session covered a huge amount that was useful, but the most valuable overall was getting everyone on the same page, thinking about how we as an organisation talk about what we do, the WHY behind the WHAT.
“The media training prepared all of us to approach media interviews with a more clear, succinct messaging, prioritising our audience while discussing the WHY behind WHAT we do.
“I would absolutely recommend Olivia’s media training for any teams working with media, even if you’re not directly being interviewed. It was helpful to get an understanding for how journalists work, what information to gather in advance, and how to pitch your story to increase your chances of quality coverage.”
