Pop Quiz! What sets a business apart from the competition?
A) A pretty Instagram feed
B) They were on Dragon’s Den
C) Their product or service
D) None of the Above
If you selected D) none of the above—that’s correct, gold star for you!
Here’s the sitch. It’s way too common for business owners to be laser-focused on growing their business, perfecting the product, making sure the social media feeds look pretty, and worrying about what the competition is doing (comparisonitis, anyone?)
But you know what will really set your business apart from the competition?
MEDIA COVERAGE!
And I would love to teach you how to get your business in front of thousands of new potential customers using less time than you spend scrolling Insta every day.

Meet Your Teacher
When I was a little girl, I was two things: a dreamer and a storyteller.
I’d spend most of my time at the movie theatre or in front of my typewriter. Which later became a bulky desktop computer with really bad dial-up because it was the 90s.
I was always dreaming up stories to share with anyone who was interested. Yes, I was peddling original fiction at the lockers before fanfiction was cool.
Fast-forward to my thirties—I’d turned a love of storytelling into a career of sharing other people’s stories with the media as the Director of PR at a PR agency. But it wasn’t as dreamy and glamorous as they made it look in the movies. I worked crazy long hours, had no control over what clients we worked with and by 32—I found myself burned out and the metaphorical glass ceiling felt shatter-proof.
This was not the story I’d written for myself.
It wasn’t until I started my own PR biz in 2017 that I truly felt like I was living the life I’d dreamed of in the stories I wrote and stored on my floppy disk because again, it was the 90s.
Suddenly, PR was fun again. It was exhilarating. And I saw first-hand the effect of landing clients from around the world the outlets of their dreams. What a Forbes feature could do for their brand. What getting in the weekend edition of the Globe and Mail could do for sales.
And most notably - I saw the wave of opportunities that followed each piece of media coverage. The interview requests. The follow-up coverage. Influencer and investor attention.
I had the power to make that happen for people but because it was my experience and my relationships making it happen, two things would always be true:
1. I could never scale in an authentic and genuine way because I’m only one person.
2. I wouldn’t be able to help everyone get the media coverage they deserve.
2020 was a lot of things, but it was also the year I realized I was wrong about one of those statements.
I could help more people. I could show my fellow entrepreneurs how exhilarating media outreach and coverage can be.
How EASY it can be if you learn my smart PR habits and build them into your daily routine.
If YOU enroll in Digital PR School, I’ll happily let you copy my homework to learn the exact, repeatable steps I take every day to get my client’s bragworthy media coverage all year long.
Are you ready to copy my step-by-step system to getting media coverage?
