Mosaic opens new training suite

Just a few days to go now and the Mosaic Media Training suite will be open for business at our Colchester premises. This three room self-contained suite includes two training rooms plus a video recording studio.

As well as being our new base for our 16 different media training courses, it is also available for hire.

The main training room accommodates eight delegates plus two trainers and can be laid out in a variety of formations, including a horseshoe shape, four separate tables facing the front (with two people at each table), or the four tables together.

The recording studio, ideal for our broadcast training courses, allows us to offer a studio set up, with two people (an interviewer and interviewee) on camera. We have two high definition cameras, a mixer desk and professional lighting, with live mixing and instant playback.

We also have a green screen option for anyone wishing to have their own backdrop added afterwards, during the video editing process.

Our TV and radio interview training courses also incorporate TV interviews outdoors, radio interviews face-to-face and telephone 'down-the-line' interviews. Plus we have a radio recording booth for anyone seeking perfect quality audio.

Our second training room is ideal as a breakout room and a base for lunch and refreshments, with a sink unit, table and seating for eight people.

If you would like further information, please contact Mosaic on (01206) 548100 or email training@mosaicpublicity.co.uk.

A clutch of silver

A great night at the CIPR Pride Awards 2010 where we won Silver awards for Best Use of Social Media, Community Relations and Best Event. We were also a finalist in the regional Outstanding PR Consultancy category. Congratulations to the team and a big thank you to all our clients for giving us some great projects to work on.

Mosaic makes CIPR awards shortlist

The Mosaic team is absolutely thrilled to have been shortlisted for all four CIPR awards that we entered this year.

It's always very time-consuming to write award submissions when you are very busy but it is very worthwhile when the shortlist drops into the email after being judged by your peers.

As well as being in the top three for the Outstanding PR Consultancy of the Year for the Eastern region, we're also one of two shortlisted for best Community Relations campaign for the submission we jointly entered with DP World London Gateway.

Our social media skills using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, blogging and many other channels of communication have been acknowledged in the Best Use of Digital PR category, in which we entered our very own 10th anniversary Guide Dog campaign.

Plus we've also made it to the final of Best Event for the 30th Colchester Lecture, featuring war veteran Simon Weston, recognising the talents of our own in-house Event Manager Gemma Rawlinson.

We're very lucky to have such a talented team at Mosaic Publicity and we're always delighted when the work we undertake for our clients is recognised for its high standards. More than anything, we're grateful to our clients for giving us such fantastic projects to work on in the first place!

All this, combined with our re-accreditation of Investors in People and our incredible fundraising efforts this year will ensure that the 10th anniversary of Mosaic Publicity really is a year to remember.

Maximus makes a visit

The Mosaic team were delighted when our first sponsored Guide Dog puppy, which we named Maximus, paid a visit to the office. The gorgeous two month old golden Labrador has already began training and will be a fully fledged Guide Dog in just over a year! Check him out on our Facebook page!
