TESTIMONIALS

"In Belarus and Lithuania Martha led different courses from "Training of Trainers" to TV journalism and documentary making, to writing for the web. She helped launch a groundbreaking new youth magazine show produced by Belarusian students and her work was highly valued and appreciated by her trainees"

"Martha is a dynamic and knowledgeable multimedia production professional whose engaged, energetic style of training encourages journalists to push the borders of their comfort zone, and bring about change in their production routines" 

"Martha worked on both sides of the ethnic divide in Kosovo and achieved a great deal in improving journalistic and technical standards. For the Serb local TV stations in particular she brought an understanding of the need for balance in their news reporting and the importance of including Kosovo Albanians in their news reports. Martha was an excellent trainer and contributed much towards the success of USAID's media development work in Kosovo"

"Martha Dixon is an outstanding journalist, presenter and producer of podcasts. She produces compelling content that connects with the listener and serves the purposes of commissioning organisations seeking new types of effective communication platforms."

"Martha produced films and a podcast series which helped us reach a much wider audience. They captured the real voices of some of the most marginalised young refugees in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Martha made it easy for people on the ground to contribute. She brought together key research findings alongside insights from the refugees themselves and policymakers in a compelling way." 

Just did another radio interview and for the first time in a long time I wasn’t nervous. Martha’s session really made a difference. I found the practice really useful.

"Martha's training gives practical advice that gets to the point and gives you skills that you know are rooted in years of professional experience. Martha is a supportive and engaging communications consultant who takes the time to know each of her delegates personally, having researched their needs before the training session. I would highly recommend her."

"I am lucky to have been trained by such an amazing trainer. Through Martha I learned how to make professional looking videos. Martha also helped me understand what kind of videos could engage young people and get their voices heard. If you want a great trainer and a good video maker with excellent communication skills and a strong work ethic, you can do no better than Martha."

 “I highly recommend Martha as a trainer. She hugely enhanced the educational capacities of young media practitioners in Belarus".

“Martha created videos for Diabetes UK with user-generated content. They showed people living with diabetes. The films were quickly and professionally put together and we reached more people on our facebook and x (twitter) feeds as a result”

Fabulous media training session. 

So clear, simple, and empowering.

“Martha, I just wanted to thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and laying the groundwork for my media skills today. What you taught us about multimedia methods have stuck with me and is very useful. I work in a local newspaper in Norway now.”

“Martha's MoJo training was a really good experience – I learnt how to do a report with my own means – without a big camera. I learnt how to capture the sound and pictures – I can now do a brilliant report with just my mobile phone. “

“I learned how to use my mobile phone properly, how to film and edit on it. I think mobile journalism is a really good thing for Tunisia because more people can get their voices heard. We learnt that people will speak to us journalists- even women“.

"Handling the media session was fabulous and so helpful. I feel so much more confident. So clear, simple, and empowering. It was intense and challenging but in a brilliant and very positive way."

“I would like to personally thank Martha for all the work she did in speeding up the tempo of the News crew in creation and execution of stories and Danny and I have taken the responsibility of continuing this energy.”

"Well that was amazing! From being a complete Luddite to a film producer in 75 mins.  Martha taught me to film, edit and produce iPhone videos for a new training contract. She took me through every stage and her wonderfully friendly and clear manner made it completely pain free. I’d recommend Martha to anyone whatever their skill level."
