Media Training

Speaking to the media
is a skill.
One you train for.

In a demanding media environment, every public appearance shapes the credibility of an executive and their organisation. Media Impact prepares those who take the floor — so that every intervention counts.

MEDIA TRAINING

Three pillars to own your message

01

Structure the message

Message clarity is the condition for impact. We work with each participant to define a simple, memorable communication foundation that holds up under media pressure.

Define 3 simple, solid key messages
Prioritise arguments according to the issues at stake
Adapt the message to the constraints of each media format
Build memorable, quotable formulations
02

Master non-verbal communication

What the body communicates is as important as the words. A credible executive on television masters their posture, eye contact and rhythm — regardless of stress.

Posture and physical presence on camera
Eye contact, gestures and use of space
Stress management et des silences
Voice, rhythm and intonation
03

Train in real conditions

Mastery comes from practice, not theory. Our sessions include filmed simulations with immediate debriefing — to anchor the right reflexes before the real interview.

Filmed TV and radio interview simulations
Sensitive and destabilising questions
Reformulation exercises under pressure
Precise and immediate video debriefing

From the newsroom
to the boardroom

Media Impact's founders come from journalism — radio, print, financial press. This background gives us an insider understanding of what a journalist is looking for, how they work and what makes a good interview.

This knowledge of both sides of the microphone is at the heart of our media training approach.

Direct journalistic experience

Our trainers were journalists — radio, financial press, financial institutions. They know what a journalist is really looking for.

Tailored, not generic

Every session is built around the participant's profile, their specific challenges and the media context of the planned appearance.

Filmed simulations

All simulations are filmed. Reviewing your own performance is the most powerful improvement tool — without compromise.

Swiss context expertise

In-depth knowledge of Swiss French-speaking media, local codes and the specificities of the Swiss media landscape.

When you need to be ready

Major strategic announcement

Product launch, partnership, change of leadership, financial results — any announcement likely to attract media attention requires specific preparation.

Crisis or litigation context

In a sensitive situation, every word counts. Preparation is the sine qua non of an intervention that protects the image without undermining the legal position.

First media exposure

An executive or expert facing the media for the first time needs to anchor solid reflexes before stepping into the spotlight.

Growing media exposure

A company gaining visibility must anticipate the media pressure that comes with it — before a poor interview becomes a reputation problem.
