After just 90 minutes you'll walk away knowing the techniques needed to communicate effectively with the media, develop core messages and sound bites and stay on message in any interview setting.
Join PR News for this webinar and begin 2012 prepped and ready to get the media coverage you deserve. The Media Training webinar will give you the competitive edge in messaging and interviewing techniques, from fielding the tough questions you'll inevitably get from reporters, to crafting core messages that resonate with the press and key audiences, to measuring how well those messages are being received.
PR News has assembled a panel of top media trainers who will show you how to become your organization's key spokesperson and pass on your newfound skills to the C-suite: Andrew Gilman, CEO of CommCore Consulting Group, who has coached executives, celebrities and public figures on effective communications in media for nearly 25 years; Glen Nowak, director of news and electronic media for the Centers for Disease Control and prevention; Kelley Benander, senior director of corporate media relations for Levi Strauss & Co..
As a PR professional, you serve as the gateway between your organization and the media, and you must be armed with clear messages that tell your brand’s story across all channels during product rollouts, changes in management, rebranding efforts, crisis scenarios and more. But effective messaging has gotten increasingly complex due to the growing number of digital channels and online conversations that have the potential to muddle and hijack your brand story. If you are your organization’s lead spokesperson or you are responsible for media training your top executives, you need to know the latest best practices in crafting and disseminating messages on camera, in print and across within social media platforms.
