What is media training?

Media training teaches you how to effectively talk to the media – be it print, tv or radio. It will teach you what to say, how to say it, and give you the confidence to do it well.

Why is it important?

Because talking directly to the media is a great opportunity for your business, but one that comes with risk. When you’re in front of a journalist and a captive audience, you don’t want to get it wrong.

Interviews – especially broadcast – can feel like high stakes. Adrenaline is firing, questions can come from left field, and you have to think on your feet. 

But, if you’re well prepared, you can ace them. Once you get good at media interviews, more opportunities will come along and that ultimately is a positive thing for you and your business.

This has led to an abundance of press coverage for StocExpo and also nurtured our relationships with exhibitors. All this positive media and exhibitor relations has been invaluable to the show and has no doubt contributed to the increase in visitor numbers this year.
