What to expect
Each chapter is a pre-recorded presentation that you can watch or listen to, offering practical tips and insights to help you engage with the media and develop effective PR strategies to support the growth of your brand and business.

A summary page of key take-outs is available at the end of each chapter for you to take a snapshot of.  I suggest you have a notebook at hand to jot down any ideas too.

The tips and insights are a combination of both my own and a number of high-profile journalists, influencers, communicators and PR experts whom I consulted with during my research.

What you’ll take away
Working with journalists and social media communicators is a great way to expand your reach and increase awareness of your brand and business.  It doesn’t have to be complicated or take up too much of your time if done well.

Each chapter of this mini masterclass will guide you to create effective, productive long-term relationships with the media, who in turn can support your business and potentially become loyal ambassadors.

Why this matters
Creating positive awareness for a business or promoting new revenue streams such as product offerings or experiences, makes commercial sense. And where there is news, media interest will inevitably follow.

However, the media landscape is constantly changing, news travels faster than sound these days, it’s also cluttered with information. How does a small business, with limited funds and resources stand out from the crowd when they’ve got something to promote, launch or say?

Knowing how to work with the media is a start, there are protocols and processes that many journalists and communicators expect businesses to follow. Knowing how to work effectively with media is a win-win situation for both sides of the PR fence.
