Can you media train our executive director and program staff together?
Yes. Many nonprofit engagements combine an executive session for the director with a group workshop for program leaders and communications staff. Everyone practices the same story framework in recorded exercises, so the organization tells one consistent, compelling story to donors, reporters, and the public.
Do you help nonprofits get media coverage, not just survive it?
Yes. Beyond interview skills, training covers how to pitch reporters, turn program results into newsworthy stories, and position your spokespeople as go-to experts on your issue. Earned media is often the most cost-effective visibility a nonprofit can get, and it compounds over time.
How much does nonprofit 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 has helped mission-driven organizations turn earned media into funding, volunteers, and support.
