Get in a room with working journalists and learn exactly how to pitch your business for press coverage.
Date: Wednesday, 26 August 2026
Venue: Replay at Bla Bla by McGetigens | JBR
Time: 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
This is your opportunity to connect with three working journalists in an informal setting.
A completely honest conversation about what makes them open a pitch, what makes them delete it, and how to get your business the coverage it deserves.
You will leave knowing how to position your story, who to approach, and what to say. Our community tells us that every Meet the Media session we've hosted is practical, direct, and immediately useful.
