When the media calls, you need to be ready!

A successful broadcast or press interview is your best opportunity to shape your brand or organisation's narrative. It requires practice, structure and confidence under pressure.

Effective interviews require more than just knowing your subject; they require the ability to communicate clearly, confidently and effectively under pressure.

I offer media training as an experienced BBC journalist designed to help individuals and organisations prepare for interviews across television, radio, podcasts and digital platforms.

Why media train with Nigel?

Training sessions are tailored to individual needs and can include interview preparation, message development, handling challenging questions, broadcast techniques and practical interview exercises. I can help you prepare for all types of questions, deliver clear answers and stay positive and to the point across television, radio, print, and online channels.

‍With extensive experience as a BBC journalist, including work with BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 5 Live plus experience with a fast-growing digital news website, I understand how journalists think, what makes a strong story and how interviewees can communicate their messages successfully.

Whether preparing academics, executives, technical specialists or communication teams, effective media training helps build confidence and ensures key messages are communicated clearly. As a practising journalist I also have strategic communications expertise gained after working with organisations across a range of sectors including healthcare, education, environment and maritime.
