One of this month’s highlights for Mediapro’s team has been working with top international scientists and specialists tasked with tackling global warming. The latest cutting edge development of carbon capture and storage, lead by some of the world’s most talented trail blazers, came to Mediapro for TV interview practice and media coaching. They wanted to build their confidence and learn how to get their key messages across… to raise awareness and garner support for their ambitious mission.
We are bound by confidentially so can’t disclose specifics…but it was unanimously agreed the session was effective and enjoyable. All the better for being based in England’s stunning New Forest, where several wild ponies were spotted freely roaming as we worked. Here’s a sample of the feedback received post training:
“Fab instructors. Very experienced & energetic.”
