How To Handle The Media

If you’re in the public eye – or might be -- the media can be your best friend – or your worst nightmare. We know. We have met the enemy, and he is us – or works for us, anyway.

At Maverick, our experts know a little something about media coaching because they’ve been part of the national and local media for more than 20 years, with experience ranging from reporting for the St. Petersburg Times, Tampa Tribune and The Associated Press to serving as columnists with The Washington Post and The Chicago Tribune.

Dealing with the media is a scary proposition. When the reporters break out the notebooks and the cameras start to roll, you’ll have a matter of minutes to make your case. We can show you how to leverage your position and put on the best face possible when dealing with what’s at-best an ornery crowd.

Here at Maverick, we can make it less intimidating.
