The inaugural Booked in a Day took place at Studio Cotton on 9 May 2025.
Future dates are currently being organised and will be offered first to the waitlist, which has twice the number of people waiting than places available.
Join the waitlist to be first to hear when the next one is on sale.
Alternatively, contact me to find out about 1:1 half day workshops instead.
This is your day to get it done.
Booked in a Day is for product and service small business owners who want to reach more people with their message and mission, raise their profile and build trust, and finally send those pitch emails for new opportunities.
You’ll walk away with:
✦ Pitches sent
✦ Exciting ideas for promoting yourself beyond social media
✦ Confidence to pitch yourself in an authentic way
✦ Momentum to keep PR-ing yourself long after the day is over
✦ Zero homework (unless you ask for it 😉)

People buy from small business owners because they invest in the individual. With PR we can find spaces for you to share what you do in a way that feels natural and showcases the depth of your expertise or the meaning behind your work.
If you’re not sure where the right place is to share it – or you think ‘you have nothing interesting to say’ – trust me, I can shape what you do into compelling stories to share and promote.
You can share your mission + message by…
✦ Speaking at events
✦ Landing press features
✦ Guesting on podcasts
✦ Writing guest articles
✦ Collaborating with other amazing individuals
✦ Partnering with meaningful organisations
…if you put yourself forward for them.
PR is really super important for small business owners…

✷ PR nurtures your existing community
✷ PR builds unshakeable trust in you
Different opportunities in your business: from press to guest podcasts, collaborations to public speaking, guest posting to guest workshops

✦ Write the pitch to make it happen
Throughout the day you will receive personalised support, individual advice as well as my direct input into shaping your pitches.
You’ve had “get featured” or “do PR” on your to-do list for way too long – but every time you sit down to do it, there’s too many decisions, questions, and that oh lovely self-doubt.
😵💫 Where do I pitch?
🤨 What do I say?
🤦 Is this even the right kind of opportunity for me?
It’s time to take action with someone to guide you through it – I got you.
This isn’t a “watch me talk” kind of workshop where you learn and then have to go away and implement. It’s a roll-up-your-sleeves, in-real-time, supportive day of writing, thinking, and doing.
It’s a small group and I’ll offer personal support throughout so that when you carve out this time for PR, you can get your pitches sent by the end of the day!
Since my session I’ve felt far more comfortable putting myself forward for opportunities. Now PR takes up less space in my brain and I can go forward with my ideas.
DEI Consultant, UK
It made me think of opportunities for my business that I wouldn’t have considered before! I have loads of ideas and inspiration for ways to increase my visibility and get my business in front of a new audience.
Marketing Expert, South Wales
She was clearly extremely experienced in PR and knew the best ways of researching, working with, and contacting the press.
Artist, Cardiff
Thanks to Bridie I now feel confident to proactively pursue PR, rather than waiting for opportunities to land in my inbox.
Trichologist, Manchester
Bridie listened to my ramble and came up with thoughtful, creative, unique ideas. I feel much more confident about what my USP is. I feel I can hit the ground running now!
Brand Strategist, Sheffield
She gave me so many great ideas of how to use PR to benefit my charity to help it succeed. I loved the course – as a beginner to PR I really benefited from Bridie’s wealth of knowledge. She was so supportive, and no question felt too small or silly.
Charity Founder, South Wales
I feel far more knowledgable and confident. Bridie was nothing but a delight. Everything is so much clearer now, my mind feels at ease, and I feel ready and prepared to implement what I learnt into my business.
Artist & illustrator, UK
I know I will have these resources available each time I work on my PR. I would thoroughly recommend to any small business owner who wants to branch out beyond social media marketing.
Art Workshop Facilitator, Bristol
We’ll warm up the day with delicious drinks and baked goods from the coffee shop next door.
For lunch there is a brilliant street food market round the corner (St Nick’s) so you can get some fresh air and we can let the brain cogs whir.
No need to rush off at 4pm – option to wind down, recap the day, chat about ideas, and celebrate the action 🥳

Meet your workshop host
I’m a Bristol based PR mentor and I’m on a mission to show you how to get visible as a trusted small business owner and share what you do or make with your dream people.
I simplify PR and make it easy to understand so you can grow your small business by landing podcast interviews, collaborations, guest teaching, press features, panel talks, partnerships and much more.
With a background of over 10 years in PR, I can help you build lasting PR skills that will build your brand.
All about the venue
I’m absolutely honoured to be hosting the event at the esteemed Studio Cotton, who have made the event possible by lending their beautiful shopfront space in the centre of Bristol.
In addition to creating utterly splendid websites for small business owners and podcasts, Studio Cotton are known for offering impeccable advice via their popular blog and social media content.
The main train station, Bristol Temple Meads, is about 10 minutes walk, and pretty much every city centre bus stop is less than 8 minutes from the front door. The Galleries car park is the cheapest and easiest.
Unfortunately, there is no accessible toilet and it is located in the basement. I will try my best to accommodate accessibility requirements, so drop me an email to [email protected] if you have any questions or requests.
Set aside a day to build your profile, tick off the easy PR wins, and put yourself forward for dream opportunities alongside an expert.
