Media training for researchers

1-2-1 media coaching

Get yourself interview-ready.

This bespoke, one-to-one media coaching session is designed for researchers gearing up for an upcoming media interview - whether it’s about your research area in general or a new publication.

Whether the journalist is from print, radio, TV or digital media, this session sharpens your confidence and clarity by grounding preparation in your research goals, polishing your core messages, and rehearsing interview techniques in a safe, supportive environment.

Who it’s for

Researchers at any stage.
Anyone preparing for a specific media engagement - e.g. press interview, feature article, broadcast appearance or podcast.
Researchers wishing to strengthen how they communicate their reserach to non-specialist audiences.

How it works

Highly tailored — the session is built around your specific research and your interview challenge
Safe practice space — you can experiment with phrasing, delivery, and handling tricky questions without pressure
Immediate feedback loop — you get actionable input, so you can adapt in real time
Confidence building — rehearsal under “realistic but supportive” conditions helps you walk into the actual interview knowing you’ve already run through it.

What research teams say about our workshops:

The training really helped me to think about better techniques to aid in producing the best story. Definitely worthwhile!

LAUREN ASHTON, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER
UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
I thought these sessions were excellent and the attendees got a lot out of them. Being given the opportunity to put the presentation information into practice and receive informed feedback from people who know what they’re talking about is invaluable.

DR ALYX MATTISON
RESEARCH AND IMPACT SUPPORT OFFICER, UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD
Excellent session, slides were very simple and clear to understand and both presenters were great communicators.

Campus PR has vast experience of working with many institutions to achieve the best coverage for their research and this experience shone through with our one to one training sessions. I felt engaged immediately and could feel my confidence growing as each session developed.

MARK THOMPSON, MEDIA RELATIONS MANAGER

Being able to spend time with individuals who have so much experience and success in higher education communications is a great opportunity for anyone starting out in the sector and I would thoroughly recommend they take up the opportunity.

JENNY WATKINSON, MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICER
UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD
The training was very helpful and I’ve been using the concepts to rewrite some of my work (funding applications, articles, presentations, even emails). This workshop was far more engaging than similar sessions that I’ve attended.
