Digital skills training for journalists and content creators. Sorted.
Hands-on with AI, social video & more
From short workshops to Master's programmes, I deliver practical digital training for journalists, creators and communicators. Whether it's TikTok video, AI tools, social media storytelling, writing, podcasting, photography or newsletter content, every session is designed to build skills, spark creativity and boost confidence.
International training that delivers
I've worked with media organisations, charities, unions, NGOs, universities, governments and corporate clients in around 30 countries. From advancing gender, data and solutions journalism to launching an MA in Azerbaijan, my projects help communicators who care to deliver real-world impact.
New skills for a changing media world
My career blends decades as an editor-in-chief and media leader combined with 15 years as a trainer, working with local partners and global development agencies. I never stop learning, and bring this same passion to help others craft compelling digital stories that grab attention and keep audiences engaged.

"From every angle, Dan's organisation and approach was top-notch. Dan's training was packed full of amazingly simple but practical insights that will guarantee the success of our social media campaigns – it delivered exactly what it said on the tin."
Public Image Lead, Rotary International, London
"The workshop was brilliant! Dan is a natural communicator who was able to get across technical detail in such a way that was easy for everyone to absorb. I came away buzzing, confident and motivated to experiment with what I learned."
Filmmaker and Journalist
"I would not be where I am right now as a journalist with the BBC without the multimedia skills I acquired during Dan's training. I went into it with zero digital skills and left with enough to train other journalists like myself. His impact is huge."
