Media Coaching
We coach a variety of spokespeople, corporate clients and broadcast journalists internationally.
Supporting Your Media Journey
BlackRook’s experienced network TV team provides a full range of face-to-face training and online video courses too – complete with assignments and assessments. From Preparing for Media Interviews and Crisis Communications to Smartphone Content Production.
Those online video courses all include 10-hours of coaching modules – designed to deliver knowledge and skills with lasting value. They can be followed at your own pace and include options for live one-to-one video call tutorials to support the video presentations.
Our line-up at BlackRook includes a founding consultant who, for eight years, trained all of the the BBC’s editorial apprentices in news script writing for TV and digital platforms and also lectured on UK broadcasting regulation,.
All that we do with you across our ‘in the room’ training delivered in person by BlackRook’s media coaches is similarly fuelled by dozens of real life clips, examples and scenarios to support meaningful, relevant learning.

Working With Worldwide Networks
We’ve trained executives at BMW Mini on how to deal with the media in preparation for new car launches. Our consultants have run team building experiences, incorporating multiple camera crews and presentation coaching, for 80 staff from Sainsbury’s marketing company i2C.
We’ve helped steer broadcasters through the on-going commitments required in ensuring that their channels adhere to editorial and technical compliance regulations and we’ve trained journalists internationally too – in South Africa, in Nigeria, in Kurdistan and the United States.
Our corporate offer makes sure that your spokespeople are ready to deal with the media.
We provide real-world TV production environments in London and in Johannesburg. Our partners at iQ Studios in Westminster – opposite the Houses of Parliament – and at VNS 24/7 in Richmond, S.A. are both based in world famous international media hubs. They share their buildings with broadcasters such as the BBC, Sky and NBC.
Or we can come to where you are. We can visit for an intensive two-hour 1-on-1 tutorial or build programmes for large groups of delegates over several days.

Introducing our media partner…
Our sister company BlackRook Media’s journalists, broadcast executives and PR consultants partner with BlackRook Academy’s digital experts on all of our Media Coaching work. We combine to ensure our training meets all of the demands of both the fast accelerating, real-time digital media channels as well as those legacy, traditional media outlets that are still so vital in reaching mass audiences. Understanding and serving all of those platforms – from print to TikTok and TV to Instagram is vital to effective messaging and leading the agenda.
