Media Advisor

A Media Advisor manages and enhances an organisation's public image through strategic communication and media relations. You might work in corporate settings, government departments, or non-profit organisations. Media Advisors focus on crafting press releases, coordinating media coverage, and advising on communication strategies. You’ll develop and implement media campaigns to effectively convey messages and respond to media inquiries.

Media Advisors play a crucial role in shaping public perception. You’ll need to be articulate, proactive, and skilled in media relations. You’ll liaise with journalists, handle media crises, and ensure that your organisation’s messages are communicated clearly and positively to the public.
