About

 

What we do

mc3We start by talking to our customers and identifying the practical day to day training needs of the industry. All our courses are designed with these in mind.

We use material and examples from the real world of media to ensure the knowledge and skills gained can be easily transferred back to the work place.

“This has probably been the most relevant course I have ever been on….the topics discussed and methods used are all things I can use (and will) on an hourly basis!”

Better Negotiations’ course delegate

Our range of workshops focus on the key skills required for a career in the media advertising business, from the newest trainee through to management positions. The programme covers 3 core areas:

Media essentials: industry knowledge; negotiation; ideas; data
Communication skills: presenting; influencing, reporting; writing
Management skills: client; people; projects; business

Types of Training

Open Courses

These run throughout the year and usually have a mix of delegates from across the industry.

They’re highly interactive workshops packed full of relevant tuition, exercises and group discussions.

Typically they run during the working day and take a maximum of 8 delegates. The exception is the ‘Introduction to Media’ course which runs over a series of evenings and can take up to 100 new starters in the industry.

They’re held at Central London venues with great facilities conducive to learning. See images below:
