Specialism Conveying the Complex
One area Angie specialises in is getting clients to convey complex information to an audience in a clear, interesting and succinct way. This could be a Phd researcher presenting a scientific paper for a farming audience, a financial analyst translating spreadsheet data for a non-financially literate person in a way they understand or conveying medical information in a clear and compassionate way.
Crisis Management
Ocarina’s team specialises in preparing for crisis-management media interviews. You will learn how to convey relevant information in a concise way so your side of the story is heard. We have run simulated press conference, Dail Committees and doorstep interviews with amazing results.
