Brian works either directly with companies looking for media training, or with public relations practitioners looking for training on behalf of their clients.

Brian says: "Ultimately when it comes to talking to the media it will be your message that will be delivered, based on your own strategy and goals.  But with over 30 years' experience as a business journalist, I can guide you on selecting those elements that will be of greatest interest to the media – and from those discussions talk you through how best to structure a story to get your messages across effectively."
