Memphis Majic - Eddie Bailey

Monday Mar 28, 2022
How do you showcase your expertise in a media interview?
When it comes to media interviews, there is no substitute for preparation. And as Eddie Bailey notes, getting your scripts in order is important. However it is important to that the participants do not robotically follow the scripts, but learn to just let the conversation to flow.
Eddie Bailey discovered his knack for storytelling during his formative years. Early on, Bailey relocated to Atlanta and found himself stepping into the next Southern music mecca - a development that would pique his interest in media. Seeking to build on this interest, Bailey entered the prestigious Howard University as a film studies major.
Upon graduation, Bailey made the next logical step and set his sights on opportunities to grow as a media maker and storyteller in New York City’s film and television community. Bailey soon became an in-demand production assistant with multiple networks effortlessly ascending the ranks. With his incomparable reputation in tow, it wasn’t long before Bailey was able to transition from production assistant to story producer. He excelled in his new role on various episodes of television series.
Following a confluence of events, including the 2007 writers’ strike and the 2008 recession, Bailey was inspired to construct his own lane by laying the foundation for his new production company: The Savoy Media Group. Ultimately, Bailey’s goal with The Savoy Media Group reaches far beyond just creating compelling stories. He is convinced that it’s his mission to imbue his passion with a deeper sense of purpose at such a critical time in history.
In this snippet from his full-length interview, Eddie talks about how to prepare for and conduct a media interview successfully.

From The Director’s Chair - Tom Wisnosky
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
What makes a great media interview?
Your message is certainly important. However, when it comes to live TV, there are a lot more factors that play a crucial role to ensuring that your message successfully reaches your audience. These basics, as Tom Wisnosky notes, say a lot about you and the brand that you are representing.
As a producer and director, Tom Wisnosky thinks of himself as a storyteller first and a juggler second. Whether he’s directing a “cast of thousands” during the live 6-hour Countdown to Super Bowl XLVIII or producing a Wynton Marsalis concert, Tom succeeds because telling the story well means keeping several creative, albeit metaphorical, balls in the air.
In addition to telling stories for BuzzFeed’s Profile and ABC’s Good Morning America Weekend, Tom has directed live, live-to-tape and prerecorded programming for ABC, PBS, Discovery, Buzzfeed, Tribune Media, and private clients. He collaborated with Peabody and Emmy award-winning journalist Bob Woodruff on Focus Earth with Bob Woodruff for Discovery’s Planet Green Channel.
Tom has also directed popular events, hundreds of celebrity interviews, pregame shows, and also adapted and produced live televised scenes from Broadway’s 42nd Street, Stomp, Rent, Hairspray and Little Shop of Horrors. As session trumpet player, Tom’s love for music shines when he produces live performances for multiple top musicians. In addition to his busy career as a director, Tom served as Mayor of the small town he calls home.
In this snippet from his full-length interview, Tom talks about the challenges of directing and managing live TV, as well as some of the qualities that have propelled him to succeed in media.
