Effective engagement with the media

It's vital to any business. But sometimes dealing with the media can be challenging, confusing, uncertain - and laden with risk.

Get it right though, and it can be one of the most powerful things you can do.

As a professional with over 15 years' experience in media relations, I can help you think through your approach to the media, whether it's for a one-off story or a longer/ongoing campaign.

I can help you on a hands-on basis:

• Write press releases, story and article pitches, media briefs
• Articulate key messages and themes
• Identify what will have the highest media impact
• Uncover things you might not have considered as "stories"
• Design and help execute impactful surveys and research
• Proactively engage with the media
• Set up interviews and briefings
• Help you think through areas of sensitivity or risk
• Manage crises and issues
• Link media communications to internal and client communications
• Maximise impact through coordinated social media activity

The media is a whole world of its own. I will help you navigate through it successfully and with confidence!
