Our format is through film and researchers need to fully embrace it. It’s good for your career, your study and the organisation you work for. Just like LinkedIn, people need to find you and hear about your work. We appreciate there are changes and have created a single interview or subscriber model that gives you a filmed media opportunity each year, either as an updated researcher profile or an update on your discovery.
The yearly price is $888 or a one off interview for $995, with video either recorded over a web conference call, by yourself through your mobile phone or with professional gear owned by yourself or your media/comms team.
Preparing for an Interview
We’ve put together a set of instructions to read before an interview. These cover what you should avoid wearing, positioning your camera and uploading additional media content to us. You can access the 1 page set of instructions here:
Once the final checks have been completed at the start of the Zoom recording, the interview will take no more than 15 minutes.
