The Media Course
by Strackhouse Media
Stand Out. Get Noticed. Own the Room (and the Reel).
This media training course is designed for high-level executives, public figures, authors, and industry leaders who are ready to elevate their presence and make a lasting impact. Whether you're preparing for a news interview, podcast guest appearance, keynote speech, or simply looking to show up more confidently on social media, this course equips you with the tools to master every camera-ready moment and put yourself in front of the right outlets.
This course combines on-demand video training with live sessions featuring nationally renowned guest experts - including network TV anchors, top podcast hosts, and leading voices in media and publicity.
​
You can choose the full training experience or mix and match modules based on your goals—whether that’s improving your on-camera delivery, pitching yourself to the media, or commanding a stage. You’ll also learn how to use the right equipment to film polished social media videos, leverage AI tools to streamline your content and pitch strategy, and build a professional media kit and speaker reel that gets you noticed and booked.
​
Participants walk away with more than just knowledge—they leave with clarity, confidence, and a custom blueprint to become the go-to expert in their field. In fact, studies show that thought leaders who show up consistently in media build trust 4x faster than those who don’t. If you're ready to control your narrative, increase your visibility, and speak with magnetic authority, this course is for you.
