1. Like now, your communications team liaises with you to schedule any remote media interview 
2. Interview details are sent to you by text and email 
3. At the agreed time, the Media can call you directly on your personal mobile (but without any personal contact details being exchanged). 

So, you just pick a time and then pick up your phone. We even send you a text reminder.

The interview can be recorded for the safeguarding of all parties. And no one needs an app.

Blinder is used by athletes and coaches from multiple World and Olympic champion national teams, NCAA Div 1 colleges, and clubs from the AFL to the NFL.

A media phone interview that you simply answer on your mobile phone, but without the downsides of your personal mobile number being shared throughout the Media (and you being placed on-call 24/7).

No. No one needs an app or to download anything to use Blinder. You simply agree to an interview time with your communication manager and then answer your mobile phone.

High performance sport in New Zealand. 

Caley Wilson, who founded Blinder, used to be the media manager of New Zealand Rugby League and worked alongside athletes like Sonny Bill Williams, Benji Marshall and Shaun Johnson, as well as female stars like Maria Tutaia.  

Caley recognised that sporting organisations were struggling to provide great media access to athletes, while also taking care of their privacy, wellbeing and performance.

The sporting organisation you represent needs your ‘informed consent’ to distribute your personal contact information. You have every right to say ‘No’ to giving that consent. 

We actually recommend saying “Yeah, Nah” to your sporting organisation: 

“Yeah, I’m right up for doing media interviews to support the team but Nah, you don’t have my 'informed consent' to distribute my personal contact information.”

Then get your communications department to contact the team here at Blinder.
