Perform and succeed.

The most powerful communication is delivered by a well-trained, informed and prepared spokesperson telling a compelling story anchored by carefully crafted key messages and empathy in delivery.

Nothing is an accident

We constantly tell our clients there is no such thing as an accidental positive outcome in communications and that preparation and more preparation is the key to success.

KirkBlancato’s media engagement skills training workshops help prepare spokespeople for media engagement and to achieve a win-win outcome which meets the spokesperson’s needs as well as those of a media outlet.

A range of training workshops

Our foundation workshop educates spokespeople about the changing media landscape, introduces them to tools they can use to succinctly frame stories and prioritise key messages as well as skills to stay on message and engage with key audiences.

At alternative media messaging workshops, KirkBlancato consultants help companies develop and finalise strategic message houses that are the foundation for telling their corporate stories in ways that resonate and influence target audiences.
