Public relations training gives you the confidence to get your own amazing media coverage.


Have you just moved into a public relations role, or have you assigned public relations tasks to a employee and they need fast skill development?

This highly tailored and interactive public relations training is the key to getting your own media coverage, knowing how to deal with the media and making sure you have the confidence to develop the right public relations strategy and produce effective media releases.

In this training you’ll learn the science behind an effective PR strategy including coming up with media angles, writing media releases and media pitches that get results, how to approach journalists, how to write articles and case studies for the media, as well as clever online tactics.

Getting amazing media publicity is essential for the success of any personal brand development and business growth.

This training teaches about how to use the media in a very clever, smart and non-hypey way!

Even better, it can take you from zero publicity to being the expert that journalists call for a media comment or profile piece.

Being featured on TV, in newspapers and magazines is absolutely achievable. You just need easy to use tools and be guided on the correct way to approach the media.

The training was everything I’d hoped for and more. I arrived with zero public relations experience and left feeling fully equipped to create media-friendly stories that showcase my expertise and speak to my target audience. In fact, the very first story I pitched to a journalist was published. I believe this will turn out be one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my business. – Anthony
