A viewer decides whether to keep watching a channel within the first few seconds of a promo — which is exactly why TV stations invest so much effort in getting that short clip right. A well-made promo pulls the audience in, builds anticipation for a show, and shapes how a channel is perceived long before the programme itself starts.

This Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy walks participants through the creative and technical process behind producing effective TV promos, from concept and scriptwriting through to on-camera delivery and the broadcasting techniques that make promotional content stand out in a crowded media landscape.
