I’M A MEDIA RELATIONS CONSULTANT AND COACH

Just what the heck does that mean?

Well, I pump every ounce of experience from my 14 years as a successful and award-winning journalist into getting you – business owners and leaders – heaps of positive media exposure.

Known as earned media, this kind of exposure can boost your business, increase your client base and solidify your presence in the market.

Media coverage can establish your position as a thought-leader or influencer, and open doors to new opportunities – locally, nationally and internationally.

Earned media is vital for marketers, start-up founders and small business owners too.

I take the anxiety out of media relations and aim to make media relations mainstream and accessible for all newsworthy businesses.

Oh yeah, that! What is newsworthy?

These are the angles and talking points that will open newsroom doors to your stories. I can see a news story from a mile away! And if you’re not newsworthy, I can help you become newsworthy for all the right reasons.

WHAT WILL I DO FOR YOU?

1: I will personally develop your key messages with you so you can fully understand and communicate the power of your presence in the market.

2: I will throw my 14 years of experience as a successful, award-winning journalist into your strategic media plan, extracting the earned media GOLD from your business, because I know what’s newsworthy about your business.

3: I will personally push your message into local and national media, using my industry knowledge and contacts. I’m already doing it for my clients – with stories every other day in everything from NZ Business to Woman’s Weekly, the Herald, Stuff and local and regional papers – and their online outlets.

4: I will coach you as we go so that you will become rock solid to drive your own earned media with confidence and conviction.

I ASK JUST ONE THING OF YOU!

You have to get up off your ass and do the right, suggested things to make the right things happen.

If this resonates with you, we should work together!

Get in touch here and tell me what I want to hear, that you’re going to get off your bum and make this happen with me!

Hello Auckland!

I'm delighted to be heading to Auckland to film for an exciting new project this week (more details to be announced next month).

I'll be free for two 90-minute client sessions on Friday morning/early afternoon if any Aucklanders want to send me a PM and book it in.

The 90-minute sessions I have are...

- Newshound Session with Media Plan
Your complete media plan for 2018, with your bespoke news stories, angles and talking points, targeted media outlets and a media contact book, as well as heaps of great media tips and advice. It also comes with 3 months of email and phone support.

- Power Message Pack
A superb coaching session for anyone wanting to really amplify their key messages. You'll come away with a clear understanding of your communication habits and challenges, and have a shiny workbook with your own 5 key messages for you and your business. These key messages will be media friendly, memorable and knock your media campaign out of the park! They'll also boost your confidence. Big-time!

- PR Pro Session
Great for anyone who can already write a blog post. This session is a handy coaching one for anyone wanting to know my simple and powerful formula for writing awesome press releases. I've received over 160,000 press releases in my career, and I've written over 10,000 stories. There is a way to write which gets your story printed! You'll also emerge with a usable press release!

PM me for a session price, a free and quick chat to see if we’re a good fit, and to book in. I'm extra thrilled to be able to meet some of you in person.

Get in quick, only two spaces available!
