workshop:
press release, pitching + more

PitchIt2Me workshops are no ordinary tourism marketing workshops. Forget everything you know, we’ll turn it upside down and give you the inside scoop from over 200 lifestyle journalists on what does and doesn’t work.

Our PR press release, pitching and more workshops are led by a leading print and online journalist, Rachael Oakes-Ash, for candid insight in the social and traditional media environment.

Best of all, we adapt the workshop to your  team’s specific needs. Need help with just pitching? No problem. Want to learn how to write the best press release ever but don’t want to know about media famils? Done.

We’ll get you up to speed on:

  • How to successfully pitch those stories to traditional and digital media
  • The difference between journalists and bloggers and how to get the most out of both
