Media Training.

 What you need to know to speak to the media confidently.
 In any situation. 

Media Training.

Our media training will:

  • Empower you with confidence to manage all media situations.  
  • Teach you how to build a meaningful relationship with the media
  • Help you fine tune your key messages, getting you ready for sales presentations, investor pitches, or even your next pitch competition!

We can help translate your innovative tech ideas into clear, concise messages that even the most non-tech-savvy person can understand – helping you share your story with the world. The Agency’s Media Training Bootcamp will coach you and your employees to be ambassadors for your brand. By creating a team of well trained spokespeople, you’ll elevate your company’s PR and marketing outcomes. Our media training isn’t just for the camera; we’ll help prepare you for any speaking opportunity thrown your way – whether it’s networking, pitching, podcasts, or more casual conversations. 

  • I was so scared to talk to the media. After working with The Agency I can easily get my key messages out to the media and potential investors. We just finished our second round of investor funding and it was over-subscribed because of the work that we did with The Agency.
