OWN THE SPOTLIGHT
Mayfair Media provides high-level media coaching for CEOs, government officials and industry leaders across the Middle East.
We specialise in preparing executives for television and podcast appearances, crisis communications and on-camera messaging.
Founded by veteran news executives Sarah Forster and Greg Tanner, who together bring more than 40 years of industry experience with some of the world’s most respected broadcasters - including the BBC, Bloomberg, Sky News and ITN - we offer unrivalled expertise from both sides of the camera.
Having lived and worked in the UAE for nearly two decades combined, we understand the region’s media landscape and the expectations placed on public-facing leaders. Our coaching reflects that reality: practical, grounded in newsroom experience and tailored to the individual.
We also produce bespoke video content, ensuring your messages are delivered with the same polish and professionalism audiences expect from leading international broadcasters.
Greg is one of the most professional, intelligent and inspiring figures in the news industry.
His exceptional skills in production, news judgment and storytelling set him apart as a true leader and innovator in the field.

An asset to any production team.

Director of Programmes, BBC News
Sarah is a true powerhouse, demonstrating expert command over every facet of the production process. She was seen as a safe pair of hands, not just for her technical proficiency, but for her outstanding composure under pressure. She delivers expert insight and fosters unshakable confidence.

Conscientious, curious and extremely good humoured.
Greg has a first-class instinct for what makes a good business story and the experience and the imagination to tell it with style.
I have no hesitation in recommending him to you.
