Event Details

Your business deserves attention, but PR agencies can cost thousands. The truth? If you’re a small business on a budget you don’t always need one. Learn how to get your business featured in newspapers, magazines, radio shows, and podcasts—spending nothing but your time.

What You’ll Learn :


Think Like a Journalist – What makes your business newsworthy (and how to spot PR opportunities hiding in plain sight)
Write Press Releases That Get Read – Templates, headlines, and hooks that journalists actually respond to
Pitch with Confidence – Email scripts that work, follow-up strategies that aren’t annoying, and what to do when they say yes
Become the Go-To Expert – Position yourself as the source journalists call when they need quotes
Land Radio & Podcast Spots – How to find shows, pitch yourself, and nail the interview
Gain confidence in being interviewed and how to manage the press so you can get your message across.
No fluff. No theory. Just practical tactics you can implement immediately.

Who Should Attend?


– Small business owners tired of being invisible
– Start-ups needing credibility on a tight budget
– Anyone who wants PR results without breaking the bank

No experience required. Just bring your business and your story.

When a journalist features you, you get instant credibility, extended reach, and coverage that lives online forever. The businesses getting featured aren’t necessarily better than yours—they’re just better at telling their story.
