Introducing Filippa Guarna

Filippa Guarna is the owner of MEDIAMASTERCOACH and has worked globally for more than 27 years across RADIO, PRINT JOURNALISM, TELEVISION, DIGITAL MEDIA, COMMUNICATIONS, OPERATIONS, SPORTS MANAGEMENT and TEACHING.


During the last two decades of working across five continents, it became apparent to Filippa that most athletes she worked with (or represented) wanted to be paid professionally to compete, but they were investing in every aspect of sport except the one that was crucial to winning and retaining fans and sponsors. Hence why MEDIAMASTERCOACH was born; an elite sports media coaching academy for athletes who want to go pro.


Apart from her current category management and governance work, Filippa is an in-demand media coach for younger athletes, drawing on her global experience in virtually all areas of the media to give them the necessary tools and knowledge to take their careers to new heights in the public eye.
