This event forms part of the Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire Business Support Services and is available free of charge for residents and businesses based in these areas only and who have enrolled for the Services.

Turning on your webcam and microphone is easy – making sure your viewers take on board what you say is a bigger challenge. We’ll show you how broadcasters connect effectively with audiences, and give you practical tips for your next screen appearance.

What will I learn?

Communication is all about saying the right thing, to the right people at the right time. You’ll learn how to craft and deliver a message that hits home and drives action.

We’ll show you how to create the mindset of a broadcaster, using insights from different aspects of the industry that you can adapt for your own purposes, and give you practical ideas you can start using right away.
