Description

Sinan Wren has an enviable track record in the delivery of innovative and inspirational media programmes.
Sinan Wren International Media Programme is designed to not just educate and upskill young people from across the world in media strategy but to ensure that on graduating they possess the tools to understand the roles of spokespeople and digital media strategists to be able to effectively advocate the positions of themselves, their organisations and communities.

Who should attend?

This programme is for people from backgrounds in the corporate sphere, civil service leaders, activists & leaders from social movements; political parties; community building and youth organisations; and those working at both local, national and international levels to affect corporate, political and/or social change. Participants will be taught leading edge techniques in their work and achieve impact by applying the concepts and frameworks they learn to their own organisations.

Trainers

Sinan Wren executive programs are taught by practitioners with experience of the world’s leading public relations and media organisations as well as recognised thought leaders, skilled educators, ground-breaking researchers, active corporate board members, and award-winning authors.
Our participants practice with experienced trainers, dealing head on with the sorts of things that the media continuously throws at them. They are taken through real scenarios and are upskilled in all areas of TV, Radio, Print and Social Media.

Participants constantly feedback that what they value most from Sinan Wren’s media programmes is the ability to have confidence to be amongst those who can express knowledge of their subject clearly, succinctly with passion and conviction being International TV ready once they walk out of the door.
