A foundation for media outreach

PR Starter Pack organizes publicity work into a step-by-step process, from understanding media relations to preparing pitches and press materials. Its training and adaptable templates are designed to help learners build a PR strategy without needing years of prior experience.

A searchable media database contains more than 80,000 journalists, editors and influencers across over 60 industry keywords. It provides a starting point for researching contacts and identifying outlets relevant to a particular brand or niche.

The course also introduces press release and pitch email writing, alongside ways to use HARO and LinkedIn to find and connect with media contacts. These elements form a blueprint for a consistent publicity workflow.

PR strategy and pitch training

The core training introduces media relations and explains how to develop persuasive pitches for a target audience. Step-by-step video tutorials show practical applications alongside the principles behind effective pitching.

The searchable database covers contacts at publications, blogs and podcasts around the world. Learners can use it to narrow their research toward media outlets that cover their field.

The pitch module includes plug-and-play templates used by founders in their outreach to publications. Its examples demonstrate how pitching principles can be put into practice when preparing a message for the press.

PR tools, templates and the Gift Guide Bundle

The resource collection includes swipes, templates and guides for preparing press materials, along with pitch training videos, editable press release templates and a downloadable media list. These materials can be adapted to a brand’s product and outreach needs.

The Gift Guide Bundle adds a detailed media list and an accompanying guide to positioning a product. Together, they provide a starting point for product-focused media outreach.

The course also explains how to use HARO to connect with journalists and how to optimize a LinkedIn profile for media contacts. Training on creating a press page covers presenting previous media coverage as a resource for future outreach and marketing.

Developing pitches for different publications

Pitch training uses examples, templates and video demonstrations to explore persuasive communication and language for journalists and editors. The step-by-step lessons focus on how to put together a pitch, while recordings of past pitch sessions provide examples to study.

The course also covers segmenting a media list and adjusting a pitch to suit the interests of different publications. This gives learners a way to tailor their message to individual journalists rather than send the same approach to every contact.

Building a sustainable publicity workflow

The course presents a publicity system intended to fit into 30–60 minutes a week. It follows the process from initial media research through outreach and follow-up, using the database and pitch templates to streamline recurring tasks.

The approach is intended to reduce administrative work so learners can concentrate on preparing pitches and communicating with journalists. It also addresses training a team and bringing publicity work in-house, with an emphasis on making the process consistent and scalable.
