Meet Eric Cox of Media Prepared

Today we’d like to introduce you to Eric Cox.

Founding Media Prepared is the culmination of 2 decades of working with some of the best in the fields of media, PR and marketing and consistently delivering results that help clients tell their story, make an impression or simply feel comfortable in an intimidating and ever-changing media landscape.

Media Prepared, in the age of tone-deaf responses, media gaffes and unforced messaging errors that came to symbolize public commentary and discourse in 2017, provides the now necessary media training for companies, organizations, and individuals. Comprehensive professional media training for company leadership teams, public figures, spokespersons and anyone whose words and actions count is needed now more than ever.

In this camera always rolling, hot mic media landscape, a single misplaced word or poorly expressed comment can potentially sack a CEO, tank a stock, kill a product or permanently tarnish well-earned reputations.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Anytime a new offering or service is introduced to the market there are the challenges associated with awareness and visibility. Media training, as important as it is in the current media environment, is an often overlooked component to messaging strategies.

Educating companies, entrepreneurs and organizations about what media training is and why it’s an essential part of your existing or developing messaging plan is usually the first challenge.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Media Prepared – what should we know

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
For Media Prepared it’s all about empowering clients. We see media trainings as more of a journey than a training. Pulling back the curtain and giving our clients the tools and strategies to sharpen their message, maximize their media opportunities and avoid self-inflicted damage is a transformative experience and something that can be applied to many different types of scenarios. Sharing the benefit of our particular expertise with people to empower them and help them tell their story as only they can is our passion.
