Hiya 🌊,

Sharing your wins is a great place to start if you want to improve your PR. Big or small. Business or professional. You need to flex your publicity muscles.

Each month, I cherry pick a few of the paid subscriber wins to show you what is possible for your own hype.

Feel free to add yours in the comments underneath.

1. Amanda Kelleher
   followed my regional prompt to smash her own regional press and secure a photograph and listing for an event she was putting on. As a result, she has now been approached by a BBC radio producer who found the regional press and substack and is confirming a 45-minute slot.

2. Claire Plumbly
   has used my pitch formula to smash her press for her Burnout book. Firstly, she was a DPS (double-page spread) in the i newspaper from a journalist request. You can read the article: “Signs you are at breaking point and how to fix it, according to an expert” here.

   
   And she has been commissioned for a 1,000-word article for Stylist for World Mental Health Day.

   This supports my drum banging on the power of a great pitch. And it is a great example of using expertise to secure book publicity.

3. My fellow PR & comms pal

Antonia Taylor

has written a guest article for Startups magazine on “Having a Substack – What founders need to know”. This is a text book example of weaving in some human interest into business expertise. It is not a listicle of lessons learned but considered points which showcases her expertise alongside personal anecdotes. And most importantly, it is the perfect audience match for her clients.

Over to you, tell me your wins 🌻….

And bonus Hype points if you share your win with a post restack.
