Media training feedback
“Gus was incredibly responsive, attentive and organised in designing and delivering media training for our staff. He tailored two distinct sessions to meet the different experience levels in the team, which made the training highly practical and engaging for everyone. Super personable and deeply knowledgeable, Gus made the sessions easy to step into—and left staff wanting more. We’ll definitely work with him again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation.”
- Rhiannon Cunningham, Wilderness Society Australia Communications Manager
“I recently contracted Gus to deliver a Media Training 101 session for a broad range of staff, from digital campaigners to creative leads and new spokespeople. It was such a success, we organised a more in-depth follow-up session for campaigners starting their spokesperson journey, including members of our Pacific-based team. Ongoing media training is so important for our work, but outside of key spokespeople it can easily fall off the priority list in a fast-paced campaigning environment. I felt really comfortable handing over the reins to Gus during a particularly busy period, and had excellent feedback from those who attended his sessions who really valued his experience and insights. Thanks Gus!"
- Kate O’Callaghan, Greenpeace Australia Pacific Communications Manager
“Gus supported the Climate Media Centre in delivering two sessions of media training to new and experienced spokespeople, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others. Gus was professional and communicative in the lead-up and follow-up work we requested, and brought his extensive media experience and up-to-date knowledge of climate change issues and messaging to our sessions. He was an engaging and supportive trainer, providing constructive and thoughtful feedback to our trainees and was a delight to work with. We look forward to working together again in the future!”
- Emily Watkins, Climate Media Centre Senior Media Advisor
"Sustainable Investment Exchange (SIX) benefited greatly from media training with Gus! He guided us through key messaging, media releases, connecting with journalists and preparing for media interviews. The session was exceptionally well-researched with Gus referencing our company's existing content to share strengths and opportunities for improvement. His presentation also catered to the varied levels of media familiarity across our team. In the lead-up to the session, Gus was communicative, professional and thorough. It was a joy to work with him. For any organisation looking to level up their media presence, I highly recommend booking a session with Gus Goswell Media!"
