PR on a Budget: The “Must-Knows” of Pitching the Media, Creating Relationships with Journalists, & Being Newsworthy
Featuring Renée Warren, CEO & Founder, We Wild Women
PR can be a huge growth catalyst for your business, but it can also be expensive to hire outside help. Richard Branson even agrees that he would spend it on PR if it came down to his last dollar. So if the spaceman who owns over 300 companies says so, then it’s a massive signal of its importance.
However, the problem with most small businesses is that they don’t know what to do or where to start when it comes to implementing a PR strategy for their business. This Masterclass is designed to help you learn the ropes of PR and build a basic but effective strategy to get your business in the news.
In this masterclass, you’ll learn:
- The PR system you need to create before you get started
- The approach you need to take to get media coverage
- The assets you need (and don’t need) to be ready for when the media comes knocking

Afenya is a Nurse Practitioner turned entrepreneur, and the Founder & CEO of The iCAN Collective. After managing her side hustle for years as she worked on her business outside of her nursing schedule and 3 children, Afenya finally bit the bullet and quit her full-time job to pursue her dream of opening up a creative space for entrepreneurs to empower black founders to grow and scale their businesses in her home city of Chicago.
Then the pandemic hit. Schools were closed, offices were shut down, and coworking spaces were ghost towns. Since then, Afenya has pivoted many parts of her business and not only opened up one collaborative space that is thriving during the pandemic, but she’s now building out her SECOND space.
For this month’s member-only fireside chat, Afenya will share how she approached pivoting her business model, staying afloat during the pandemic, and expanding her brand more than ever before.

Vision Planning for 2022: How to Market & Build a Brand that SERVES YOU
Featuring Jessica Korthuis & Mari Milenkovic, Co-founders of Her Brand & Co.
You wake up one day full of spark for your new business – you’re jazzed, excited, ready to take on the world (probably also pretty freaked out), but you’ve decided to take a chance. Then you start, and you realize that you have no idea where to get started.
At this point, many new business owners make the common mistake of ‘figuring it out as they go’ (which is true in most scenarios). However, in doing so, they end up working IN their business so much, that they forget to take the necessary time to work ON their business.
As a consequence, they get in the weeds and lose sight over the major needle movers that really matter in building a brand and a business that SERVES YOU, and not the other way around.
In this workshop, you’ll learn a simple and effective vision planning strategy to help you intentionally design your business that fits your unique life.
You’ll learn:
-
How to set ambitious, yet attainable, marketing and brand goals
- How to structure those goals into quarterly sprints to ensure you are actively focusing on needle movers and activities that have real impact on your growth
- Ways to avoid ‘shiny ball syndrome’ every entrepreneur faces to keep you accountable and on track
By the end of this workshop, session participants will be able to:
- Accurately explain how their business fits into their broader life goals
- Follow a plan of action that’s built on brand vision and effective marketing strategies
- Hold themselves accountable to their OWN vision
- Build a business and a brand that brings them joy and that serves THEM
