Expertise

Media Training & Executive Coaching

We live in the information age and polished communication skills are a critical capability for leaders regardless of their professional discipline or industry.

The ability to control how your organisation is represented in the media is a fundamental and critical business skill. It’s a skill increasingly demanded of chief executives, board members and other company leaders. 

BBS offers high intensity media training, focusing on ‘ready-to-use’ practical skills that can be applied in the workplace from day one.

Our programs are unique because our media trainers are not just trainers. They are highly sought-after communications advisors who practice what they teach every day.

Clients choose BBS training because it’s practical, content-rich and based on real world experience.

Intern at BBS

BBS operates a University Internship Program which offers placements in line with the university semesters, plus holiday period intakes, generally June/July and December/January/ February.

We accommodate trimester students and our program is open to applicants who are pursuing an internship of their own accord outside of the standard university semester calendar.

As a BBS intern you can expect to work alongside experienced professionals on real client projects, an environment which provides an accurate picture of what life as a communications consultant is like. 

BBS interns are always considered first for our graduate roles and many of our former interns have gone on to senior roles within our firm.

Working in a consultancy is diverse, fast-paced. It’s often said that “you’ll learn more in your first year in consultancy than in your first 3 – 5 years in another role”.
