The media landscape has changed dramatically since the arrival of digital. The impact of a world-wide pandemic, the cost of living and other global crises in recent times are affecting traditional media revenue streams.
Sales teams at radio stations, newspaper and television companies have reduced in size and we continue to see erosion of revenue from traditional media to digital. Many local media operators have embraced digital, but how do they drive the volume of business needed to grow digital at an affordable rate for local businesses owners?
We stem the erosion by helping local business owners understand how to get the most from their marketing budgets in today’s digital world providing sound advice and long-term marketing solutions that deliver results.
With a combined 56 years in local media, founding Directors Fiona Charlesworth and Sally Holdcroft understand what motivates local business owners and are passionate about providing innovative revenue-generating solutions that deliver long term sustainable revenue streams to media companies that are passionate about local too!
What makes us different? Consider us a part of your sales force – we don’t just talk the talk…. we’re in-field, hands-on, closing business alongside your team and we care about embedding skills that will endure long after we’ve left your market.

Educational digital workshops for media companies with their own internal digital assets. Workshops include:
"At MNA Media we had the pleasure of working with Fiona and the team to deliver a Media Solutions programme to our customers. Fiona is hugely inspirational, full of energy and passion and a true professional at every level. She has the ability to drive a sales team and keep them motivated but also keep the customer at the heart of everything to ensure long term relationships are built. Fiona is focused on delivering results and our first programme in the West Midlands far exceeded any of our expectations. We are currently working on a second programme in Shropshire and our team and customers are enjoying the same positive experience. Fiona is an absolute pleasure to work with and the best presenter I have ever seen. Her dedication, energy and enthusiasm along with her extensive industry knowledge is invaluable to any sales team or customer. I would highly recommend working and learning from her."
"I’ve been involved in so many seminar sales events, I’ve lost count. I’ve seen them become stale, time consuming and lacking in innovation. My salespeople had started to dread the process, so I discontinued inviting outside providers into my business.
Then I met Fiona Charlesworth. Fiona spent time in field, 1:1 with every member of my local sales team at TNT McClatchy Corporation and as a result I saw new skills and a level of confidence and enthusiasm that lasted long after the programme had signed off.
Not only did we surpass revenue expectations in the years we worked with Fiona (driven substantially through new business) – she made the process fun, and my team couldn’t wait for her return!
Fiona delivered innovation and a more efficient process. The training was relevant and included digital which gave my team confidence to sell digital as part of their marketing plan. She also created and implemented a strategy to support business retention and up-sell across the year that has enabled us to exceed budgets.
There’s only one Fiona Charlesworth and I’d recommend her to any media company serious about making an impact on local revenue."
"Sally ran the group sales seminar programmes at UTV Radio and was the consummate professional. Always organised and meticulous in her attention to detail. These programmes were big bi-annual week long events and generated hundreds of thousands in revenue for each UTV station that ran them (including mine), and Sally's ability to organise and support ensure they ran as smoothly as possible and delivered the results we needed. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking at this type of programme or who needs to get organised!"
"We were fortunate enough to benefit from Fiona’s expertise at Midlands News Association for 2 Local Media Solution programmes. Fiona is not only a force of nature with unadulterated enthusiasm but more importantly significantly over delivered on revenue expectations. Would highly recommend and not hesitate to use again"
