About The Session:

Featured & remembered - How to Land Press Coverage for your Business

Our guest speaker, Becky Newmarch, PR and communications consultant and founder of Newmarch PR, will share practical ways to get your business noticed, remembered and talked about.

With more than a decade of experience working with brands including Dyson and Unilever, as well as founders and growing businesses, Becky has secured coverage across national, regional and international media.

In this hands-on session, Becky will show you how to find your press story by focusing on what you know before what you do, helping you uncover stories that can also fuel your wider content.

You’ll also discover where to find press opportunities, how to engage with journalists, and how to make your coverage work harder for your business through trust markers, social media and AI visibility.

You’ll leave with practical ideas, examples and a downloadable PR guide to help you start pitching as soon as you get home.
