Interview Savvy Workshop

Face your next media interview with poise and purpose.

We have media trained Olympians, CEOs, teens, refugees, economists, celebrities, political candidates, people with intellectual disabilities, sex workers, First Nations Australians and people with the obscure areas of expertise from waste water to waiting lists.

We’ll work on your messages, stories, examples and prepare you to deal with questions you’d rather not be asked.

We will tell you the questions to ask before committing to the interview and guide you through the experience from first journalistic enquiry to post -interview. We’ll even simulate radio talkback calls.

Media Savvy Workshop

Every client we’ve ever worked with has untapped media potential. We guarantee that we can help you get yourself regular media coverage.

Secure your share of the media spotlight with this practical workshop from a publicist with 1000+ media hits in the bank.

Nothing gets a bigger return on investment than media coverage. It builds profile, credibility and influence.

Decide your expertise, identify media targets, create a media friendly website, create catalysts for media coverage, write attention-grabbing media releases, develop and package story ideas, shape the tone of the coverage. Prepare for crisis media.

Copy Savvy Workshop

Copywriting is dead. Long live the content creator.

We live in an era where few pure copywriters exist. Most of us have become content creators who must generalise, putting our skills to various communications tasks.

That’s why this copywriting course looks at media releases, website copy, social media content, appeal letters, speeches, SEO and more.

Learn from dozens of positive and negative examples from across the world and across sectors.

Our conversion formula will give you valuable audience insights. Learn how to get a better brief and extract constructive criticism.

Presentation Savvy Workshop

Become a compelling presenter - on screen, stage or in the office. Grow in confidence and expand your influence with audiences, colleagues, clients and decision makers.

Choose a narrative structure that works (you don;t have to start at the beginning!) create ways to engage your audience and refine your PowerPoint presentation.

We can work on voice and stagecraft too. Advance from being a giver of speeches to being a presenter.

Digital Savvy Workshop

Your website, Google, email marketing and social media are not working hard enough for you.

This marketing and comms-driven, non-nerdy deep dive into your digital marketing will create a wave of improvements.

You’ll have a website that acts as an employee, guiding visitors, selling, explaining and administering.

You’ll have a burgeoning email list and more repeat website visits.

Many of those improvements can be enacted quickly and cheaply.

Marketing Savvy Workshop

Talent be damned - no matter how good you are better marketing equals a better business.

Take this chance to step back and review, refresh or create your brand - its personality, its position in the markeplace, its values.

Then investigate your audiences so you truly understand them. Clarify your value proposition and choose your marketing options from digital to one-to-one relationship building.

You’ll have a clear marketing plan ready to roll, complete with specific goals, priorities based on growing your business.
