Get Featured: PR & Press Strategy for Small Businesses
Stop wasting money on paid ads. Learn how to get your small business into the media with practical, step-by-step techniques.
About this Event
Are you tired of seeing your competitors featured in the news while your business stays invisible? Do you assume PR requires a massive budget or a hired agency?
The truth is, journalists aren’t looking for big corporate budgets, they’re looking for great stories, local expertise, and real-world insights. And as a small business owner, you already have plenty of those. You just need to know how to pitch them.
Get Featured is an intensive, 3-hour interactive workshop designed specifically for small business owners. You’ll step inside the mind of a journalist, uncover your brand’s unique news angles, and leave with a finished, ready-to-send pitch email.
What You’ll Learn & Do:
- Decode the Media: Understand how modern newsrooms work, what journalists actually care about, and how to pass the “So What?” test.
- Find Your News Hook: Uncover key angles hidden inside your everyday business operations.
- Get heard: Understand the different ways you can use the media to get your organisation in the media.
- Learn how to find the right contacts and pitch your ideas: Discover free and low-cost tools to connect directly with the right media for you.
Who Is This Workshop For?
- Small business owners, founders, and sole traders.
- Marketing managers looking to add low-cost PR to their strategy.
- Anyone launching a new product, service, or initiative who wants media coverage without paying thousands for an agency.
