Can you prepare executives for talent controversies and viral moments?
Yes. Crisis exercises are built around the scenarios entertainment leaders actually face: a star's controversial statement, content backlash, or a leaked decision trending within hours. Executives practice responding fast and credibly on camera without damaging talent relationships, advertiser confidence, or audience trust.
Do you train for earnings calls and trade press interviews?
Yes. Executives rehearse subscriber numbers, franchise strategy, and streaming economics questions in recorded practice exercises modeled on analyst calls and trade outlets. The focus is delivering a clear narrative that moves coverage your way instead of fueling market speculation or industry gossip.
How much does media and entertainment media training cost?
Media training typically ranges from $1,000 to $15,000 per engagement depending on group size and scope. A focused session for one spokesperson sits at the lower end, while multi-day team workshops with recorded practice sit higher. See our media training questions page for a full breakdown of what drives pricing.
Who leads the training?
Every session is led by Jess Todtfeld, founder of Success in Media. Jess spent 13 years as a television producer at NBC, ABC, and Fox, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most media interviews given in 24 hours: 112. He brings a producer's insider view of how entertainment stories get framed, cut, and replayed.
