Athena has helped sharpen our organisation's mission and vision, enhanced our media performance and helped us identify a clearer vision about how to reach our most important constituencies.
training
Athena Media Training was launched in May 2009 and since then we've launched training workshops in podcasting, online content and social media for business. Our workshops are extremely cost effective with costs from €80-€100 for a half day session and we have lots of client testimonials showing how valuable these training sessions have been. We run Podcasting 101 (audio podcasting) and Podcast 2 and Online Content (video online) subject to demand and have a monthly Social Media for Business session aimed at business decision-makers to help them plan their online social media strategy. Our workshops are led by Helen Shaw, Athena Media's MD and here's what some of our participants say:
"A concise introduction to social media and plenty of information to follow up on."
Tara Buckley, RGDATA (Social Media for Business Workshop)
"I have gained a knowledge of social media and how it interacts – its importance as a news breaker and opinion maker."
Kay Sheehy, RTE (Social Media for Business Workshop)
"Excellent course as it gives you a context and understanding of the key issues that you need to consider when you use Social Media."
Joyce O Connor, Digital Hub (Social Media for Business Workshop)
"The information share and learning was very practical – good share of learning, professionally delivered."
Anne Carthy, NGO (Podcasting 101 Workshop)
"I came away armed with everything I needed to start podcasting, and I'm delighted to say that I now know what an RSS feed is."
MediaContact.ie (Podcasting 101 Workshop)
"I found the practical demonstrations of how to use the tools, and where to click very useful, as this is exactly where one gets stumped when trying to use the software."
Deirdre Mulrooney, Journalist (Podcast 2 and Online Content Workshop)
Athena Media Training also provides in-course training for organisation in communications and digital media. We can upskill your existing media and communications staff and help you run your digital media communications plan yourself.
