🔥 Proactively plug and promote yourself in front of new people – beyond your own platforms – in places your ideal clients will find you.
🎉 Pitch for PR opportunities like collaborations, talks, panels, guest podcasts, press, guest workshops, guest articles and more.
💪 Build the habit of putting yourself out there with ease and confidence so you can grow your business, attract the best clients, and take action now for your business’ future.
Pitch Sprint is about being proactive and promoting your small business beyond your existing audience.
I’ll show you how to get visible beyond your own platforms (aka your social media, email list, website etc.) and promote yourself to someone else’s audience.
You might feel comfortable posting content to your existing audience, but if you’re not being proactive about how you’re getting in front of new people… Pitch Sprint is for you.

Your business is the bomb and it deserves to be seen.
You have the skills, and you know how to promote to your existing audience. But you know that’s not getting you in front of new people and giving you the results you want.
✹
You know you need to get in front of the right people, but you struggle to find time to proactively seek out new opportunities to promote your business that will attract the clients you really want.
✹
You’ve thought about trying ads, but you’re not sure if they’ll really work for you.
✹
You’re fed up of the trends on social media and want to show up there more authentically to connect with your community, instead of than having to keep up with the latest tactics for what might make your reel go viral (and we all know going viral doesn’t work anyway.)
✹
You’ve seen peers land great opportunities, and you’re ready to make things happen for you.
✹
Overthinking, perfectionism and confusion are often to blame for you not putting yourself out there and leveraging the world of PR, but you’re excited to move past this and take action.
✹ Get in front of new people by being proactive about how you’re promoting yourself (by going beyond your own socials and emails) and getting visible to someone else’s audience (in a nice win-win way).
✹ Pitch for PR opportunities like collaborations, talks, panels, guest podcasts, press, guest workshops, guest articles and more so you can showcase your talents and personality and attract the best clients.
✹ Build a habit out of putting yourself out there and spotting opportunities to promote yourself.
✹ Take messy action and experiment in giving yourself a huge boost of visibility.
✹ Do something now that you will be grateful for in six months time. PR builds sustainability for your business’ future.

What’s included in Pitch Sprint
Here’s how I’ll help you reach more people…
🖥️ Bitesize video lessons
Concise lessons to walk you through my P.R.O.M.O.T.E. framework. No huge course to consume, but key principles to kickstart action and help you understand the opportunities at your disposal.
“PR no longer feels scary! My mind now feels at complete ease and I feel ready and prepared to start implementing what I learned into my business.” Jess
🤙 6x Live calls with individual support
6 live group sessions, which will include a mix of hotseat mentoring – where you can get individual guidance, feedback, pitch angles, expert messaging, and ideas of places to pitch – alongside coworking to implement and action. Calls are 60-minutes on Tuesdays at 12pm.
“Bridie has an effortless touch in not only providing expert PR advice, but tailoring that to each person with such flourish and ease.” Steph

🏆 Prizes
We’ll be celebrating each pitch sent. Celebrate your progress on your personal leaderboard, and win prizes for completing tasks.
This is for you if:
You run a small business (creative, consultant, coach, artist, product) or charity.
You tend to procrastinate and want accountability to spend 6 weeks taking action to promote yourself.
You want to experiment with some new ways get exposure.
You want to learn how to, or improve how you, write a PR pitch with individual expert guidance.
You’ve already done PR, and want to take part in a sprint to take action with pitching and improve your skills.
This is not for you if:
You’re still in the ideas stage of launching your business and don’t have a website or any photography (one portrait and/or product image will do.)
You’re extremely busy right now, but want to learn how to do PR (check out my one-to-one options and other workshops instead.)
You only want to pitch for press, but have no experience in doing this (you’d be far better off in Spotlight Season.)

Meet your programme host
I’m a PR mentor for small businesses. I’m on a mission to show you how not to leave visibility on the table. I am driven to pass on lasting PR skills that will build your small business.
This year I’ve more than tripled my email list, sold out my first in-person events, and got over 100 signups to my first free online workshop from the methods inside Pitch Sprint.
As well being rooted in my background of a 10-year career in PR and communications, I built Pitch Sprint to show you all the places you could be promoting yourself beyond your existing audience so you can earn the hype of others and grow your small business.
While you might think that PR is just for big businesses, that’s a total myth.
PR spotlights the voice and person behind the business, so it’s essential for small business owners who are the face of their business.
Even if you’re not the ‘face’ of your business, but want to try new ways to get fresh exposure and promote yourself in new places, this is for you.
And if you want to chat about it, see below for how you can get in touch with me directly.
If you’re here, you’re probably ready.
You’re ready if you want fresh ideas for how to promote yourself and reach new people.
You’re ready if you want to be introduced to PR and try it out in an action-focused programme before committing to a bigger programme.
You’re definitely ready if you’ve said all year, “I’m going to put myself out there more this year” and then haven’t. I made it for you.
To make the most out of this programme, you will have a website and at least one portrait photo. If you’re a product business, I recommend having at least one photo of your product(s) too.
You also need to have something to promote! Either you’re a business that has a service/product available to buy, or if you’re a charity, you have a campaign you want to raise awareness of.
No they are optional. During the live calls you can get “hotseat mentoring” where you can ask me questions and get individual guidance; we can even go back and forth to nail your next move.
If you don’t turn up live, you can still submit your questions in advance for me to answer live.
You also have access to pre-recorded video lessons, the list of tasks and activities for you to use to promote yourself, and the Slack group where you can ask me questions whenever you like.
The live sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays at 12pm. If you’re interested in joining but can’t make the live sessions (and want to), please email me and let me know. I’m anticipating this to be a small group, and I’d love to find a time that works for everyone if possible.
If you’ve come to Booked in a Day or worked with me one-to-one, you will definitely get a lot of value out of joining Pitch Sprint, and you’ll be able to hit the ground running!
Pitch Sprint isn’t about teaching or perfecting skills; it’s about taking action. It’s about a focused 6 weeks to put into practice what you’ve learnt with me before, and making sure it happens!
All previous clients get a discount too; find it in your inbox.
Absolutely – if you have a question for me or just want to talk things through, I’m very happy to chat. I’m always super honest about whether I think this will be a good fit for you.
Ask your question via the easy peasy form below, or book a call in my diary.

I feel 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.
