The Shortcut To Media Coverage For ANY Business

  • Public relations is constantly changing. What worked even last year is no longer effective.
  • Journalists are inundated with pitches and stories … and the way media is created and consumed is constantly changing.
  • Our PR Agency experts will give you everything you need to land the coverage your business deserves, TODAY.

The course completely changed the way I looked at my business and gave me the confidence to put myself forward as the face of it. Alistair and Gemma taught me that I could be ‘that’ expert that the media goes to when they’re doing a story on lighting. The course helped me see that as a small business I had a big voice and one that the media would love
