Media training

We offer highly personalised media training for individuals and small groups, drawing on our many years of first hand experience working with journalists, editors and broadcasters.

Our sessions cover best practice approaches to building long term, effective media relationships, alongside realistic simulations of print and broadcast interviews shaped by how the media actually operates. Each trainee leaves with practical advice tailored to their needs and, importantly, ongoing support as they step into live media engagement.
 

With leading AI search engines prioritising traditional media in sourcing, being regularly present in the press with consistent and authentic stories helps reach your stakeholders both directly and indirectly.

Speaker training

The coaching is tailored to the needs of your people and the event they are preparing for.

Executives regularly need to address audiences large or small, internal or external.  Companies often sponsor industry events to intensify exposure for their brand in front of key stakeholders.  C-level leadership teams becoming publicly listed suddenly find themselves thrust into the limelight. 

However, having the specialist knowledge on the topic doesn’t always translate to landing the right message or impression.  We can equip your executives with the skills and confidence to be a stand-out panellist, a memorable speaker or an adept moderator.

Leveraging deep sector and market knowledge, our team can adapt, localise and tailor your content into a bylined article, a press release, a social media post, media commentary or an interview pitch in native English, Japanese, simplified or traditional Chinese.  And we can develop brand new content from conversations with your experts.

In an age of AI-driven search, your content has a dual audience, both human and machine – and in both cases we know that high quality, authentic, meaningful content is what cuts through, so we believe in human-led writing.  We are human because you are and your stakeholders are.

We leverage the power of secure enterprise AI to deepen and accelerate research, always layering the decades of expertise of the humans you come to Decantas for.

We can help you be as prepared as any company can be for the challenges which lay ahead, providing executive coaching, roadmaps for anticipated scenarios, stakeholder mapping, templates for fast but thoughtful communications, and full guidelines for key staff.

And if you have the inkling of an issue or are thrust into a full-blown crisis, we are a call away from mobilising our most experienced practitioners for calm structured decision-making.  We will support you with round-the-clock strategy, messaging and monitoring which flex with the situation, the sentiment and the regulatory requirements to build back trust in your brand.

Our strong media relationships and, more importantly, acute understanding of how the media think and operate, mean that we can help reduce the oxygen of negative narratives and secure accurate, fair coverage, ultimately building deeper trust with your stakeholders.

Owned coverage is a crucial tool in any company’s communications strategy.  Thoughtful and well-managed social media programmes can help define a brand’s personality, build the profile of key executives and reinforce your earned media messaging.

Social media is also a key source for AI search engines, so a consistent, regular and authentic presence on platforms such as LinkedIn will impact a brand’s discoverability by the people you want to reach.

For companies wanting to reach audiences in mainland China, from regulators and media to institutional and retail investors to consumers, a WeChat Official Account can give you control over your messaging and a window for thought-leadership and brand-building.
