We often get carried away in thinking that Virgin Media Pioneers is at the centre of the universe when it comes to the cool things that Virgin Media has to offer. However, we’ll be the first to admit that we’re swiftly brought back to earth when taking a look around the office at the incredible amount of talented colleagues we’re surrounded by here at Virgin Media.
As a company of over 11,000 employees we’ve got experts with years of experience in almost any field you can think of, and even some you might not have. So in true enterprising style, we thought we’d get chatting to a few of the gurus from the Virgin Media staff to see what words of wisdom they could impart to the Pioneers’ community.
First up, our sales guru and Director for Indirect Distribution, Eric Craig. With 15 years experience selling to the high street Eric is perfectly placed to offer a few invaluable tips when it comes to pitching your product or service to buyers. Check out what he has to say below.

Next up is our go-to PR genius and Head of Media Relations Asam Ahmad. Asam gives us a wonderfully insightful overview of the essential things every entrepreneur should consider when putting together a PR strategy. Virgin Media’s trusty mascot, Red, even makes a cameo!

Finally, we hear from the big boss man at Virgin Media, CEO Neil Berkett. Neil shares a few words which I think the whole the Pioneers’ team can wholeheartedly co-sign. Take a look at the video, I think Neil says it best…

And with that sneak peak into the vaults of knowledge from just a few of the amazing minds here at Virgin Media, I bid you farewell. Let us know what you found useful and if you’ve got any questions for Eric, Asam or Neil post a video response or make a comment below.
We’d love to hear from you.
