Services

Consultancy

We advise on using broadcast media and techniques to achieve defined objectives, taking into account key factors such as target audiences, key messages, timing, choice of spokespeople and available support materials. Our editorial and technical expertise, combined with creativity and strategic thinking, helps our clients to get the best out of broadcast coverage. 

Live television and radio

Amongst broadcast communications consultancies, we believe we have unparalleled depth of experience in producing live interviews for commercial clients on television and radio programmes in the UK and internationally. For television we can arrange satellite-linked outside broadcast or studio interviews (sometimes described as 'satellite media tour') from a location chosen to enhance the story or to facilitate access to spokespeople. For radio we offer ISDN outside broadcasts or studio interviews.

Video production

We produce and distribute broadcast quality background video footage (B-roll) where we believe it will increase the appeal of a story to broadcasters. We generally prefer to offer loosely edited material that broadcasters can cut and adapt to suit their own style and needs. We can also produce complete programmes or films for internal and external communication needs.

Media relations

We deal with a wide range of broadcasters every day, assessing the potential of projects and arranging media schedules for clients on channels in the UK and around the world.  We use fluent language speakers where required. If our extensive lists of contacts do not meet a specialised requirement we will research relevant opportunities in target countries.

Webcasting

We can advise on whether or not a webcast is likely to achieve a client's objectives and arrange live or archived webcasts and interactive web events.

Media training

Live broadcast projects require spokespeople with a high degree of confidence. Where a need for media training or coaching is identified we can provide a programme designed to match the particular needs of the individual or company concerned.

Monitoring and evaluation

We understand the need for objective evidence and evaluation of broadcast coverage and a detailed report is provided following every broadcast project.  If required we can also add more sophisticated levels of monitoring and evaluation and source video and/or audio recordings of broadcast coverage.

Point-to-point satellite links for sound and vision

We can provide equipment, facilities and co-ordination to enable audio and vision links between two or more locations in the UK and/or overseas, for example bringing a remote event live into a press conference or staff meeting.

Crisis management

Many of our services are highly relevant to a crisis situation. We are a small company, but we can be contacted 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We always aim to be as responsive as possible to our clients' needs.
