Media Friendly is a UK-based media, PR, and communications training organization founded in 1998. It positions itself as a provider of customized training services for CEOs, senior executives, spokespeople, public-sector teams, and corporate communications teams. Its core goal is not to offer standardized recorded courses, but to help participants communicate more clearly, credibly, and confidently in media interviews, crisis situations, public speaking, and PR communications.
The website lists course areas including Media Training, Crisis Media Management, PR Skills Training, and Communication Skills. Its training emphasizes practical application, with exercises built around real media interviews, worst-case crisis scenarios, PR campaign management, and simplifying complex information. Delivery is flexible: training can take place at the client’s own premises, in broadcast studios in London and other parts of the UK, at the Marlow training center, or online. Evening and weekend sessions can also be arranged. The organization also provides pre-course consultation, online support materials and videos, and up to 12 months of free telephone support after training to help with preparation for future media interviews.
A notable strength is the trainers’ background. The website states that its broadcast media training is delivered only by journalists with BBC/ITN experience. Trainers research the client’s organization and topics in advance, and discussions that take place in the training room are kept confidential. The organization appears to have extensive service experience, claiming to have worked with more than 600 organizations, including over 140 NHS organizations, more than 70 local governments, over 60 housing associations, and companies in sectors such as finance, IT, pharmaceuticals, insurance, construction, and retail.
Pricing transparency is average. The main content only states that public course prices can be found in the training brochure, while customized projects require direct consultation. Discounts are available for charities. In terms of payment, fees are usually required at least 14 days before the event. Bank transfer is preferred, though invoices and cheques can also be used. The cancellation policy is relatively strict: cancellations of customized training close to the scheduled date may incur 75% to 100% of the fee.
The advantages are its high level of customization, practical focus, credible trainers, flexible timing and locations, and strong experience with the public sector. The drawbacks are that specific price ranges are not disclosed, no certification or certificate information is visible, and the teaching language is not specified. For Chinese companies, the training is more oriented toward UK and international English-language media contexts. It is suitable for organizations with real needs around interviews, crisis PR, press briefings, or executive communication, but less suitable for individuals who simply want low-cost self-study or a certificate for credentialing purposes.
Based on the crawled text, access from mainland China cannot be determined, so it is marked as unknown.
