Write your pitch - PR workshop (with lunch)

'I need to get some PR for my business but I don't know where to start.'

'It feels too scary to send a pitch to a journalist - will they even be interested in my story?'

Sound familiar?

We hear this all the time from business owners. While at the same time - as PR experts with many (many) years' experience of working in media - we can see that they DO have an amazing story that the media would love! (Everyone does.)

So, if you're nervous or unsure about putting yourself out there, we've got an idea to change that.

Let's do it together.

If you run a small business in Yorkshire, we'd love you to join us for our first in-person PR workshop.

This will be a relaxed half-day of learning practical PR skills in a friendly and supportive environment. Just eight spaces.

You'll also get a view of the river in York - and cake!

What to expect

• We'll start the morning by getting to know each other over a cuppa. Then we'll get down to all writing an email pitch. We'll guide you through how to structure it, and what to say (and what not to say). We can also advise on the best story angles to help your business hit the headlines.

• At around midday, we'll enjoy some gorgeous food delivered by one of our fab local indie coffee shops in York. Expect lovely sandwiches and cake.

• Fully fuelled, we'll use the afternoon session to help you send your pitch to a regional journalist. And if you need a bit of encouragement, we can all press 'send' together!

• By the end of this workshop, you'll have written and sent a pitch about your business. So, you can close your latop and go home with your PR DONE.

Want to have 'get featured in the press' crossed off your to-do list?

We'd love to see you there.
