Why Our Media Training Creates Value

If you're looking for professional media training, consultancy and coaching, you'll find loads of people offering the world. We're different. Rather than offering the world, we'll offer you our experience. And our expertise in adult education.

Talkshow Communication's faculty of associates have worked at some of the world's leading broadcasters. The BBC, NBC, ABC. We've also taught media production skills to some of the world's leading broadcasters and newspapers.

Our faculty has experience in radio, TV, newspapers and online. Our experience in online has been at the forefront of the digital revolution, with leading media outlets as they've developed their products.

But it's not just broadcasting experience we offer. This is important. We're also adult educators. Unlike some trainers, who start a training business as soon as they retire from broadcasting and happily show you how they did their job five years ago, we actually teach you current practice, using learning methods accepted by the world's leading trainers.

Talkshow's managing director, Jonathan Halls, is strong on learning performance. In fact he ran the BBC's production training department in London. BBC Production Training was respected for providing the world's best TV, radio and online training. It was a multi-million dollar operation that taught some of the world's leading TV program makers.

We also do corporate broadcast

We talk about our professional broadcast training below. But before we get there, we want to share our thoughts about using broadcast TV and audio as important communication tools in your organization.

As TV and audio production costs have plummeted, and technology has become increasingly easier to use, more and more people have access to broadcast communication within their organization.

Some organization's offer a weekly talk show with the CEO answering staff questions. Others use it for training as well as internal communication.

Our experience in the demands of broadcast, making programs that hook audiences will bring to your company a level of professionalism that guarantees your investment in corporate broadcast.

A lot of corporate broadcast presentations are technically good. But you need to also be editorially compelling. As well as help you get the technical side right, with infrastructure and workflow consulting, we can help you crate content that is worth watching or listening too.
