What previous participants say

Thank you so much for today's media training. It has lifted quite a few veils off subjects I didn’t know anything about - and off subjects I didn’t know I didn’t know about. The practice sessions were superb, and you struck a perfect balance of pointing out the bad stuff, that only your best friend can point out, and accentuating and reinforcing the positives. It was a profitable learning experience and a pleasure. I've had the unexpected bonus of a boost of my overall motivation - as well as building my confidence.

Dave Hampton

The Carbon Coach
Excellent workshop. As someone involved with marketing, I have been around PR a lot and was not entirely sure what I might learn. I was not disappointed however. Chantal’s energised, creative approach to generating publicity is infectious, practical and helpful. I benefited enormously from being in a space where I could focus and develop ideas with a group of people who had similar aims. Strongly recommended for anyone carrying out PR and wanting to master interview technique.

Ultimate Goal
I would just like to say how much I enjoyed the workshop. I really learnt a lot and it has really given me food for thought. You made the workshop fun and interesting and most importantly I felt very comfortable asking questions. I would love for you to organise a follow up workshop.

Thank you Chantal. It was a great day, with heaps of useful information, and the practice interviews were invaluable. And the best part was being able to leave with a press release practically written. Superb.

I thought that you would like to know that your teaching is serving me well so far. Though it is an endless game of chase, I am getting a generally warm response to my press releases. I am writing a feature for Sussex Brides on Top Ten Tips for avoiding Post Wedding Blues and they are doing a little news feature on me, and You and Your Wedding is expressing interest in both the beauty and features department. I am gradually working my way through all the bridal mags with a slightly different story to suit their criteria-your tuition has made me versatile and adaptable! Thank you.

Talent for Business
Chantal Cooke unravelled the closely guarded secrets of how to communicate with the media, how to present your business so that you would be noticed and sought after. An invaluable tool indeed! She helped me to see with different eyes laying out what the media wants, and give it to them. And all in a hands on interactive and friendly environment creating a really enjoyable experience. I greatly appreciated her ever helpful attitude, and her cheerful willingness to go the extra mile. Chantal delivers on her promises.

Chantal explained the secrets of dealing with the media to maximise your success extremely clearly and chunked down in such a way that I feel confident and motivated to put the information into practice immediately.
