Media Training

Prepare your team. Own the conversation.

A great announcement can be undone by a bad interview. We train your leadership team to talk confidentally about the topics your consumers care about, delivering on-message, compelling answers under any pressure.

What does the service look like?

Practical, on-camera training built for tech executives.

Who It's For

Three signals it's time for media training.

1. Your leadership has never done press

Journalists are trained in interviewing, so it only makes sense that you are too. Speaking to the press is a skill to be honed and practice makes perfect.

2. You're approaching a major milestone

Funding round, rebrand, IPO, market entry or product launch, there are certain moments when your PR campaign strategy will require your leadership team to sit down with press. Make sure they're confident and prepared.

3. A previous interview went poorly

The quote landed wrong. The framing didn't translate. The viral clip wasn't flattering. We diagnose what happened and rebuild the technique.

Our Process

Four stages from first session to interview-ready.

I

Diagnostic

Mock interview to baseline your spokesperson's strengths and gaps before training.

II

Workshop

Half or full day on technique, message discipline, bridging, and on-camera presence.

III

Pressure test

Hostile questions, ambush scenarios, recorded review with frame-by-frame coaching.

IV

Refresh

30-minute prep session before any major interview. Keeps technique sharp.

Media Training FAQ

Common questions.

What does a media training session cover?

A typical Beachhut media training session covers message discipline, bridging techniques, on-camera technique for broadcast, print interview habits, hostile question preparation, and earnings call or investor day preparation. Sessions are recorded so spokespeople can review their own performance.

How long is a media training session?

Half-day workshops are typical for first-time spokespeople or topic-specific prep. Full-day sessions cover broadcast, print, hostile interview, and crisis scenarios. Multi-day intensives are available if needed.

Where does Beachhut deliver media training?

We can deliver media training in London, Dublin, and Amsterdam, plus on-site at client offices across Europe. Remote sessions are also available and are crucial as more and more interviews happen over video call.
