Media Training Services

Yes& CommCore provides media training workshops, studio training and consulting – in person or virtually – so you and your team can create a response that is fast, flexible, and factual. “Companies can get stalled or bogged down on how to release a simple statement,” Yes& CommCore Senior Consultant Dale Weiss told NPR’s Here & Now’s Robin Young. “By that time, things can get so far ahead of you that it’s impossible to catch up.”

Training Locations: Dallas, New YorkWashington, DC & Virtual

Today’s media environment makes media training more important than ever. News can go “viral,” hitting the digital press or social media almost instantaneously. Let Yes& CommCore train you on how to get the media quotes you want.

“… the Media course has got to be the best instruction I have ever participated in  – the instructors, facilitators, course content, videotaped interviews and “stars and wishes” input, as well as fellow course participants were all awesome!”
