MEDIA & IMAGE
Television news viewers are incredibly critical in how they watch and relate to on-air talent. No longer are stations just competing with locally produced newscasts within their markets, but their people need to look and perform just as professionally as nationally produced broadcasts.
The challenge is to get the entire team focused on the principles of dressing for the viewer and not themselves. Choosing the correct styles and paying attention to colors and fit is crucial to the talent’s on-camera look. Hair and makeup also play a vital role in one’s overall image. Hair and makeup should accentuate and never distract.

Monitoring Service
In addition to regular station visits, Transform Media & Image can provide an ongoing follow-up and monitoring service. Consistent feedback and guidance will help motivate your staff for the long haul instead of a short or temporary fix.
Transform Media & Image monitors talent appearance through a TV news subscription service, live streams, and online video posts. Knowing that someone is watching keeps the talent on a heightened responsibility to follow through consistently.
Regular guidance will improve the overall look of the station by promoting a professional, cohesive look. It also allows management to be free of the day-to-day responsibility, worry, and time-consuming problem of addressing image concerns.
