Chris Jordan Media Training Prospectus 2021

It’s a brand new year, and with it, great opportunities for growth and development. My 3rd year in business brings together my biggest passions, Education and Broadcasting.
I have been so fortunate to work with a plethora of clients, from stations that range from community to online, to commercial, to corporate companies that focus on new media skills and logistics, I’ve been welcomed and recommended for quality service and added value.

2021 has seen the release of my audiobook, a first in South Africa with a broadcasting mentorship initiative, and a new agreement to have carte blanche on remodelling a local community station (details to follow), and it’s only been a month!

Blessed.

Please see what Chris Jordan Media has to offer your station and corporate business.

Looking forward to our journeys together.
