In their words
It was perfect. Good mix of presentation, interactive group exercise, and Q&A. Very knowledgeable and supportive trainer.
Fantastic training with Pauline, the session was very engaging and got us thinking about how we can utilise Project Management tools in our work in Events. I would recommend this to any Event managers looking to add Project Management to their repertoire.
The training course was delivered conversationally and interactively, which allowed us to share our thoughts and ideas. The content was so interesting and got me thinking about the way that I work. I have left the course with lots of new ideas and best practices and cannot wait to start improving the way I market to our audience. I am also hoping to attend another course, they are unique and so worth it!
I really enjoyed this course since the coach explained everything in an enjoyable engaging way. You could tell she was very experienced and I learnt a lot!
Loved the trainer’s approach! So friendly and nice. The course was just great and easy to follow even if you are not a marketeer.
This leadership training has made me feel more equipped to take on this next step in my career.
Pauline was a wonderful trainer who gave us insight into effective frameworks to adopt as part of our events business. I will definitely be taking these golden nuggets of information and incorporating them into day-to-day going forward. Thank you!
Pauline was an engaging trainer who took the time to ensure we were catered for despite the varying levels of seniority and range of organisations present at the session. Everyone was able to take some handy information away from the session.
The trainer was amazing and I loved the way she made everyone feel comfortable and able to participate in an open conversation and discussion. I found the course extremely beneficial and took away so many actions and ideas from the copywriting course. I would recommend to anyone in events marketing or within a marketing role.
This training course is particularly perfect for anyone starting out in a new managerial role with little to no experience. Very insightful and lots of practical ways to help you and your team.
I thought this course was very helpful for someone new to marketing. It opened my eyes to edits that need to be made with my future copy and picked up new tips and tricks along the way. Caroline went through everything thoroughly and also made sure to answer all questions when asked – leaving us with complete understanding of all topics.
Carrie was an amazing trainer. She provided useful feedback throughout the day on our presentations, and has given me great tips on how to portray myself with more confidence and gravitas! Thank you!
Carrie’s story and experience were the perfect fit for our events company. Coming from a producer background, she knows how fast-paced the event industry is; we need to learn our market and be confident about it in front of our clients. When it comes to presenting now, I hope to have more gravitas, more pauses and fewer filler words!
Caroline was really engaging in our session. She taught me what I expected to learn whilst also teaching me to question things I thought I already knew. She let the course be shaped by our team and what we personally and collectively wanted to get out of the session. Any questions or comments were always met with great enthusiasm and she created a very safe space, where you felt comfortable to ask anything, even if it seemed obvious.
The trainer was fantastic, knowledgeable, and professional.
The course is well structured, effective, and easy to follow.
The course was spot on and there was no time wasted with long introductions. The trainer was aware of our situation and informed of the issues and pain points. I would always come back. Thank you!
Caroline had a fantastic range of examples and exercises to sink our teeth into. Having practical elements in the course made you think, examine and retain new ways of writing. Caroline was clear, provided great critique and feedback to learn from and was fabulous in engaging us in an online environment . Thank you.
The courses are very practical and using examples of our current work which helps us evaluate how we can improve now. The trainer had very relevant material and the duration was perfect. The tips that were things that can be easily implemented in my work right away!
I want to give feedback to a great project management course. It was very informative, engaging and interactive – the trainer was speaking “to you”. Highly recommended.
Very good fundamental grounding in the essentials of conference production.
A great course to learn the fundamentals of production. Whether you are new to the industry or experienced, it is a must attend.
The Event Project Management course was super informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Pauline was a great trainer who had amazing knowledge in all things events!
A very informative training session with a mix of the foundations and basics and very useful tips for different formats of copy. The applications with our own examples made it a lot easier to understand and would definitely recommend this course to others.
I found the recent Project Management training led by Pauline really useful. I learnt new knowledge about tools and resources that are available to me to support the planning and delivery of events, and picked up some great tips and advice from Pauline and my fellow participants in the course. I definitely feel more confident now as I embark on my next project. Thank you Pauline!
The Building a Community Based Events Business training course has given us the ideas, concepts and tools to transform the product we offer into a more complete package. It has been brilliant in shifting my perspective and encouraging me to reframe relationships, and my understanding of the content we can deliver and contributions we can make to the field.
Caroline was really engaging in our session. She taught me what I expected to learn whilst also teaching me to question things I thought I already knew. She let the course be shaped by our team and what we personally and collectively wanted to get out of the session. Any questions or comments were always met with great enthusiasm and she created a very safe space, where you felt comfortable to ask anything, even if it seemed obvious.
The course was really useful and helped the team focus more on what needs to be done and what can be done. Loads of useful tips that can be implemented straight away. Great templates. Really enjoyed the course and would recommend to anyone.
I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to concentrate/engage as well attending the training virtually but that wasn’t the case – Claire was dynamic and really kept everyone’s attention with her training style as well as the varied and interesting content of the course. It was great to be able to post questions in the chat throughout as well.
Excellent, uplifting trainer. Articulate and engaging. Really important! Not too much listening and opportunities to break out with other students/colleagues. Thanks very much!
This course was an excellent introduction into the way we can develop our existing events and create a community of like-minded stakeholders who can continue to network and collaborate before and long after the event concludes. Frances was an excellent trainer and kept the group engaged all day with a mixture of group discussions, presentations and other activities. Thank you!
I was looking to transition out of Event Marketing into Conference Production as a career change. This course was an excellent insight into the tactical skills required and provided key resources to effectively create an excellent agenda. I particularly liked the last day when we were asked to submit our own questions to be answered which ensured that the training was personalised to us, and that we gained the maximum benefits of attending. This course gave me the confidence and ability to successfully
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was very interactive and exactly what I needed to enhance my copywriting skills. Caroline is brilliant and had a lot of very important tips and examples that would make it easy for anyone to grasp and apply the core benefits of the course.
The in-house project management training programme was fantastic in giving us the tools and practical knowledge to more efficiently run and manage our events. Pauline was a really engaging and exceptional training lead, and allowed us to get the maximum we could out of the time together. The tools I have learned will serve me well in running future projects from their inception to delivery.
Caroline was a very approachable and knowledgeable trainer. She explained concepts really concisely and took time to help everyone on each section of the training. The course was extremely valuable and a great space to look at our own copy being used across the company and how it can be improved.
A very informative session that was particularly targeted at events rather than wider project management – can start using outcomes immediately that will benefit my work.
An excellent course, well delivered that was pitched at just the right level to appeal to everyone in the team from the new entry level members to the experienced event professionals.
Working through an existing contract we had which made it very relatable and relevant. Claire really knows her stuff and explained everything very well. She didn’t use legal jargon which we wouldn’t understand, she was very clear with her explanations and I came away with some extremely useful advice/skills to use going forward.
A great insight from an industry professional on how to be the most efficient you when managing projects.
Excellent training course, the trainer provided in depth knowledge of negotiating, contracts and safety planning for Events Managers. The trainer provided excellent insight in to this area and drew upon their own experience making the course informative, interesting and enjoyable, I would highly recommend to any Event Manager to complete no matter what their level of experience is.
Another excellent course by The Media House. I feel much more knowledgeable and confident planning hybrid events now and I’m actually looking forward to the next one, instead of dreading it!
Much needed, just in time focused content on how to sharpen your production skills and how to flourish as a producer. Every bit of information either helped or qualified what I had already known. Sophy is brilliant at what she does and could answer every question with examples and practical application.
Thank you so much for the incredible 3 day training you delivered to us at Meta. It was extremely worthwhile, informative, detailed and applicable to our roles. We all thoroughly enjoyed it so a thank you from us all 😊.
Enjoyable as well as educational. Caroline made the day engaging and fun. I have come away with a much clearer understanding of what copy writing is and how we can incorporate better practices into our daily tasks and marketing. Highly recommend.
Claire gave us a very thorough and lively virtual training on Running Successful Virtual Events. She is an amazing trainer who manages to engage her attendees and she happily shares her experiences and knowledge in virtual events.
Not only was this training useful, but also it was fun and enjoyable due to Claire’s personality! I’d gladly attend any other training she runs!
I went on maternity leave in the middle of a global pandemic and have returned to work facing a very different world of event management. This course was excellent at demonstrating how to use my existing event management skills and adapting them to run virtual events. I now have the confidence to tackle virtual events and I am very grateful that this training was available to me – thank you!
THE ONLINE PLANNING & EXECUTING SUCCESSFUL HYBRID EVENTS Course by The Media House was excellent.
This was full of very detailed Strategy and Provision to enable events organisers to move forward with planning their Hybrid events with confidence. Nothing is over looked and Claire Poole is an excellent tutor – Thank you!
Claire has the knack of delivering information in a really engaging and meaningful way, which makes it easy to assimilate, so attendees can make sense of what they may already be working with, and where they can improve or develop their skills. I’ve attended two sessions led by Claire and there is always take aways from the session.
Claire is an excellent trainer who really engages with each attendee, tailoring her content to suit our needs throughout the course. The course is a great summary of all aspects of hybrid events and I now feel a lot more confident organising my first one!
The training course was excellent and helped to build my confidence in all areas of marketing. After attending the course, I feel like I have a fresh pair of eyes to review my content. Caroline was a brilliant trainer, she has great energy levels and kept us engaged throughout. Thank you!
Excellent session. Easy to follow, Very useful, practical and easy to implement suggestions and ideas to follow up, e.g. equipment.
The world of events has been thrown upside down over the past year and learning how to navigate the new world of virtual and hyrbid events has been challenging. The training courses provided by The Media House have helped guide me and my team through the challenges and how to mitigate the risks as well as instilling confidence in us that we have all the skills necessary, it is just a case of pivoting them to a new delivery style. Thank you!
The Softworks marketing team really enjoyed the copywriting course with Caroline. Both the content and the delivery were excellent. Lots of great practical takeaways that we are already implementing.
Claire is a fantastic trainer, she is really knowledgeable and passionate about organising events and takes time to answer everyone’s questions.
The course on Planning and Executing Successful Hybrid Events is a must for any event planner who does not yet have experience of same — a very good overview with much advice and plenty of tips — I came out with more questions than when I went in, but that is also a good thing to better understand what is involved in the planning of hybrid events.
Sam was excellent throughout the course. He has an engaging approach and points people in a direction rather than forcing an opinion on participants. He asks challenging questions which draws out peoples own experiences and knowledge and guides them to reach their own conclusions. Most importantly, Sam’s sessions were outcome orientated. I believe these sessions will be the basis for a change in approach across our sales teams.
I really enjoyed this course which challenged us to review virtual event planning in terms of the current needs and concerns of our suppliers and audience. The course went into a lot of detail regarding sponsorship pricing and closing deals which was extremely useful to benchmark ourselves against. But perhaps the best bit was being able to compare and share experiences with other event industry professionals who are going through the same thought processes at this unusual time.
I joined the course executing virtual events and I was very pleased with the overall quality of the course. It was very detailed and taught me everything that I needed to know about running one.
The Mastering the Essentials of Conference Production Course was a great way for me, as a new conference producer, to learn from the trainer and other participants about best practice and to hear great ideas that I can take forward and implement in my everyday working.
An excellent course, packed with practical, useful ideas expertly presented. I highly recommend it.
The Media House delivered a series of online training sessions for us. They amended their typical training course to meet our specific needs and really spent a lot of time ensuring we were happy with the content. The trainer, Claire, was first class. She knew the area really well and based on a lot of useful insight and experience. My team and I couldn’t have been happier.
The course was great! The trainer was very responsive to enquiries and the breakout rooms allowed us to network and interact with each other. Best online course I’ve done so far.
I thought the training was superb – the trainer Claire communicated clearly and gave the trainees plenty of opportunity to ask questions etc. I learnt a lot in a short space of time which I can now take forward and use to plan fantastic virtual events for our clients.
The online course was very enjoyable and informative and I will be adding some new approaches to my next events and contracts!
I just wanted to thank you for a very enjoyable and hugely useful course, which has given me much needed confidence to persuade employers that I have the ability to plan and execute virtual events. The content was superb but you also delivered it perfectly. It far exceeded expectations, and I am looking forward to applying these learnings in future roles.
The Planning & Executing Successful Virtual Events training course was brilliant, informative, insightful and enjoyable, the trainer was fantastic!
It’s such a great feeling when you come out of a training session genuinely feeling like you have just learnt loads of tips and info that you can put into practice straight away. Our trainer Claire was always on form, cheerful, a great listener and just happy to help. Can’t fault the training at all!
The online course was very enjoyable and informative and I will be adding some new approaches to my next events and contracts!
This course gives a great insight into the planning and execution of virtual events, as well as sharing pros and cons of the various platforms. The instructor is really knowledgeable on running virtual events and is able to answer any questions from her own experience. I feel much more equipped to work with virtual events having attended the course.
I would highly recommend the Virtual Course’s by the Media House for anyone looking to upskill and learn more about Virtual Events. The course covered a huge amount of topics and I came away with a lot of information. Prior to the course I had spent a lot of my time taking free webinars to try and build up knowledge but I can confidently say that the investment has definitely been worth it.
The format and timings were perfect and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. It is also a great tool having the slide deck after the course and I certainly will be adding my pages of notes to this to assist with my learning.
Even-though one has to sit in front of a monitor, the speakers made sure that they explained well and interacted with us. I liked the idea of testing us on the spot by working with other participants and individually on examples we’ve just learned.
Fantastic course, I’ve come away equipped with so many useful event marketing tips & tricks. I’d really recommend the Media House courses, they’re really informative and run by lovely trainers.
I would highly recommend this course for anyone starting out or looking to refine their planning and execution of digital events. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable on the subject and provided a huge amount of insight and expertise. Very enjoyable and engaging.
Very well delivered, at the right level with relevant examples and realistic takeaways to be implemented in my role, 5/5
I think this in-house course was really well matched to our requirements. The event sales team needed something specific like this. The course was great in making us think about the sponsor’s mind set rather than just our show.
5/5 Fantastic and detailed course on a topic that is hugely relevant to the events industry today.
The course really helped the team to think outside the box and not use packages as the basis for all proposals. The trainer was positive, used real life examples, had great industry knowledge and worked with the team well to bring more out of them.
I would like to thank you for your training on Friday. It was very refreshing and a great insight from a personal and professional perspective – I learnt a lot.
I learnt something new, and will be able to apply this to all the events moving forward, 5/5
The course was relevant, engaging and led by a great, solution-focused trainer. It helped that she has experienced all the things she is “teaching” about.
The course on Tuesday was excellent, which is a view I know was mirrored by many of the participants. I’m very glad to have taken part and have returned to work with many new ideas.
Ros was absolutely great. It was great to get her take on what we’re doing and learn from her extensive experience. She is quite formidable. This was an opportunity to take stock with my team and we’ve walked away with so many new ideas – I don’t know where to start!
The training was so helpful, I just wish I was sent to you guys months ago.
It exceeded my expectations. The training was very insightful and the exchange among the attendees made it more engaging 5/5.
The feedback has been very positive about the trainer and the content and genuinely new ideas were discussed.
I have now attended two Media House training days and both have been excellent.
This was probably the most energising and inspiring “training” I have ever participated in. The course covered many legal, contractual and health and safety issues approached in a real life scenario way and I think we all went away both scared about some of the things we were letting slip through, ignoring due to pressures or simply didn’t realise we should be doing, BUT with the knowledge and practical guidelines on how to remedy the situation.
Really useful to sense check what we’re doing already, as well as new ideas to take back to the team.
Overall, a very well run course, addressing specific questions by the attendees. Informative and enjoyable!

Really interesting day, very practical and engaging. Lovely trainer!
Actionable strategies to improve my copywriting skills on multiple platforms.
Overall, a very well run course, addressing specific questions by the attendees. Informative and enjoyable!
Excellent food for thought. Reinforces what we are doing. Great to have time to think and reflect.
The core copywriting principles were extremely useful and will be used on a daily basis. The “creating effective emails” session was excellent – especially focusing on the subject headers to capture the audience in that first instance! Caroline was extremely engaging and passionate about changing your content and copy specifically for your target audience!
Very inspiring – Katherine has been amazing for us, given us huge insight into industry best practice. Honestly, it is the best internal training course I’ve been on. Honest, non-judgemental, inspiring, encouraging.
Following a three year period of extensive building works and redevelopment, on and around its 65 acre site, The British Motor Museum has been preparing to re-enter the conference market and appointed The Media House to support us in developing the right sales methodology and process as well as recruit and train new sales people.
The whole process has been excellent. It has been great working with the consultant, Mike. He has been very inspirational and really knows his stuff. He brought skills to the British Motor Museum, which we didn’t have and guided us expertly. With Mike, we have successfully recruited two new sales staff and provided them with training on our processes and best practice in event sales.
Overall, the consultancy was really good and of great value to the British Motor Museum and I have no hesitation in recommending The Media House.
Every little aspect was covered, I have a lot to take away.
Fantastic energy, clear and precise.
Overall, a very well run course, addressing specific questions by the attendees. Informative and enjoyable!
It was all very useful and interesting. I thought the exercises were a great way to learn.
Very useful course focussing on making the most of copy. I’ll definitely be making changes.
Very participatory and brilliantly adjusted to the needs of everyone.
Knowledgable and approachable. Really good presenter! Some top tips.
Fantastic! the whole course was great, I learnt a lot from both the trainer and the other delegates.
The course was great. Really enjoyed the exercises, they helped me fully understand what I was learning. The trainer kept everyone under control and concentrating for the whole day, it didn’t drag at all!
We truly enjoyed the course and have applied what we learned the first day we’re back at the office. I returned to the office inspired and shared core writing tips with my colleagues immediately during our internal communication meeting. The tips and tricks I’ve learned will certainly go into the office writing toolbox we’re developing.
The Copywriting course was really useful, there were lots of different take-aways and I found the day really interactive. Caroline was an excellent trainer, really enthusiastic and kept the sessions interactive and engaging. 5/5
Really useful and informative course, very friendly and thorough.
5/5. The course gave me a much clearer understanding of what I needed to do going forward to improve my performance! Objection handling was my main issue which I now feel more confident on.
Great trainer, a pleasure to work with, easy to relate to. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Very useful to be able to discuss individual issues – good to have outside opinions – trainer was very friendly, helpful, willing to address individual problems.
Objection handling was always a problem for me and I now feel a lot more confident.
I found the Copywriting Principals the most valuable part of the day and I will be changing the way I write copy to be ‘benefit led’ copy now! 5/5
Incredibly packed day of useful wisdom. So many ‘aha’ moments.
The focus on building relationships with venues, and learning more about cost savings was extremely valuable.
Very productive day with lots of example and exercises.
An incredibly useful day refreshing copywriting skills with an excellent, engaging trainer.
5/5! Claire ran such a fun and informative session. She was down to earth, quirky, interesting, friendly and had a wealth of knowledge she shared with us. She brought great vibes all round! Her examples of real life situations were most interesting and showed us how the course and skills we were learning could be applied to everyday situations.
I found the training your team ran for me in December really productive and effective.
A good mix of practical and presentation-based learning. I’ve found lots to take away and will refer to the handbook for inspiration. Thank you!
5/5; The trainer was very engaging, articulate and interesting. He went at a good pace and was easy to understand.
Incredibly helpful and inspiring day, I came out with lots of ideas. I will rethink everything I write, slow down and take in to account the aspects of this course.
Prior to launching your social media strategy, I would highly recommend taking this 1 day intensive social media workshop. It covers everything from mapping your business goals, understanding your resourcing requirements, to creating the nuts and bolts of any successful social media campaign: choosing the right platform and creating must-read content!
The course was relevant, engaging and led by a great, solution-focused trainer. It helped that she has experienced all the things she is “teaching” about. I enjoyed the exercises which were short and to the point. I feel much more prepared to research my next conference more thoroughly and have learnt and will apply a more structured approach.
Thanks! Good explanation of scenarios and solutions for objections. 5/5
We all thoroughly enjoyed the training and found it very insightful. Louisa was very engaging and tailored the training to our website and copy which was great – we have a lot to action. (in-house copywriting training)
The training was great, really valuable for us. We loved the interactivity, flexibility and the fact that it was tailored specifically for our business. The trainer was great and came with plenty of examples, both from within his slides, but also from past experience. The fixed agenda element of the day gave the course structure, but we were able to ask questions and deviate off topic if necessary.
Going through the detailed elements of a contract, and learning to communicate with venues, to get a better deal and commissions, was very useful.
The delegate sales in-house training certainly was productive and insightful too.
I think the entire team took away some great tips and techniques and I have recommended the training.
Excellent, overall it was a very good course and the trainer was very knowledgable
I’ve improved my skills in negotiating and learnt a great deal about contracting. The trainer was very knowledgeable.
Very useful to learn negotiating and contracting techniques — I’d never thought of many of them before. The trainer was entertaining, good at relating situations to scenarios we would understand.
The training was amazing, engaging and interactive.
It was a great course and I have come away with lots of useful information. It was great to have such a diverse group of attendees too, we all had a lot to share.
Very useful framework provided for me to hang my experience on.
I cannot wait to implement what I have learnt. The trainer is excellent, very knowledgeable and animated. Inspiring.
A hugely valuable course that will change your copywriting for the better almost immediately.
This was the best events course I have been on – thank you! Thanks to the Media House for the organisation and implementation of such a great learning day, I am going to try and apply everything in the next couple of weeks to see if my event idea will stand up to the validation and testing protocols we discussed yesterday.
5/5; The trainer gave a good balance between content presentation and group discussion.
The most useful training course I have been on since working in events.
This course was definitely worth attending for us. We are already implementing what we’ve learnt and found the training most inspiring.
5/5 — The most valuable part of the day for me was benchmarketing my sales approach with Sanjay and the other participants.
5/5 Great information, excellent trainer. Really useful information on fees and pricing.
5/5 — thoroughly enjoyable course! The trainer was very approachable and engaging, I was shown new perspectives I hadn’t considered about the sponsor’s mindset.
What was the most valuable part of the training course for you? All of it!
I attended the (Media House) Social Media in Marketing course last week. From knowing relatively little about the topic at the start of the day, the trainer’s in-depth knowledge of the subject and real-life case studies helped me to focus in on the key priorities to be addressed and assess the potential outcomes of different strategies. The trainer has a relaxed teaching style which encourages discussion and questions around the topic. Thanks for a great course, I would definitely attend a future course.
