Lorie Argus
CEO at Melbourne Airport
Melbourne Airport“I have been working with NewsFlash Media for years, both as a senior executive and now as CEO of Melbourne Airport. Lahra and Steve have deep media and public relations experience which was pivotal in how they curated developing key messages for my topic preparation for many media events. They were instrumental in preparing me for Interviews and press conferences as a senior leader in Melbourne. Their interactive training was challenging but they will genuinely push you to be better, and to prepare, prepare, prepare. The live firsthand experience of getting in a radio studio, working with the cameras, being interviewed by reporters and getting live feedback about how to hit the mark for your audience is second to none.”

We were impressed with the time they spent to really understand our business, our challenges, and the needs of the team. They created an engaging, real-world, practical program that stretched our abilities, boosted our confidence, and strengthened our leadership team’s media relations capabilities.

Tim Moore-Barton
Chief Executive Officer
Betfair“The half-day course and a short follow up have been invaluable. Steve and Lahra are great to work with, have a wealth of expertise and make the “mock interviews” feel very real – leaving me far more confident and much better prepared for my external facing role. I now realise how important it is and powerful it can be when you get it right.”
