8. 7 Testimonials Luxury House Silver Circle Law Firm Baker McKenzie The house wanted to promote the skill of its craftspeople and the lengths to which our staff go to meet the demands of our premium customers. Simon Brooke knows the luxury sector very well and Communicate Media are experts in media training for luxury brands. As a result, he was ideally placed to help our teams to identify the examples, case studies and even the little anecdotes that really brought our key messages to life. Simon helped our people to tell these stories and he was great at instilling confidence and showing how our spokespeople can maintain control of a media interview. The team at Communicate Media really understand how lawyers think and appreciate the challenges they face when dealing with the media. Their training has given our lawyers a better understanding of what journalists are looking for and improved their ability to develop and convey key messages and tailor them to the appropriate audience. Communicate Media have also provided excellent one-to-one support after the training, ahead of key broadcast opportunities. We liked the fact that Communicate Media specialises in media training courses for law firms. They know how lawyers think and operate and the pace and style of the course was perfect for our partners. We wanted to persuade more lawyers to have the confidence to speak to the media and once the Communicate team had shown them how to mitigate the risks and how to gain more control, they became much more willing and enthusiastic.
