A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front-page ad. - Richard Branson
While paid media & press releases can help drive traffic to your startup, it's costly & out of reach for many early founders. Plus, throwing money at the problem can only get you so far. Earned media coverage - free news stories, magazine write ups, blogs, etc., is what truly helps a startup scale.
Join our panel of journalists & public relations experts as they break down how to score free media coverage. Gain insider secrets on what inspires the media to cover a founder, or a startup, & how to build relationships with journalists in order to lean on them when the time is right. They'll share why they chose certain startups, over others, to cover along with the great & bad ways to pitch them.
What you'll learn:
What is News & what makes your startup, or founder, a valuable news story
How to build a scalable press strategy & when to engage outside PR help
Ways to leverage hot topics, trends, & breaking news to generate PR for your startup
How to get warm intros & develop relationships with reporters
Free to low cost PR tools & alternatives for founders on tight budgets
