Corporate Media Training

You want media training for your organization. It doesn't have to be difficult.


I'll be happy to provide a written proposal within 24 hours, detailing all the deliverables you can expect from a media training session from me. I'll work with you to customize the training to fit your organization and deliver everything I promise.  Like I say, there's no reason for it to be difficult.


I worked in the media for 15 years in roles ranging from reporter and anchor, to talk show host, to News and Public Affairs Director and Assignment Editor. I have done media training and spoken about the media across Canada for the past decade. Please check the Testimonials page for comments from some of the groups I have worked with.


My media training sessions are usually a day or half-day in length. They include a presentation to let participants know how the media works and ways they can thrive in any media situation. To learn more about course content, please check the Media Tips page on my website.


We then work on developing key messages that your people and organization can use in actual media interviews. Finally, I assume the role of a reporter and conduct interviews on camera to put everything taught into practice, followed by a critique.

I’m the only media trainer in Canada that offers you the following:

  • An in-person or video conference meeting to plan and customize the session to you and your organization
  • An introductory video for each client to let participants know what to expect from the media training session
  • Everyone receives the e-version of my book The Honest Spin Doctor
  • Participants receive a downloadable version of Grant Ainsley’s Media Training Manual with sample communications and social media policies, and other takeaway material
  • All video interviews are provided to the organizer
  • Up to three hours of free consultation after the training, just in case you have an issue you need to focus on and need my help

I’m the only media trainer in Canada who’s a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS), that has a Code of Ethics for its members to provide assurance when you hire me. I give back to my industry by serving on the national Board of Directors for CAPS.


I’m also the only Canadian media trainer whose media training course has received Gold Seal Certification from the Canadian Construction Association.
