What people are saying

        I like how Dean got us into action instead of overthinking the process. I really like that mindset within the course. It’s almost proving that you don’t need to know too much to get something powerful to use. I got an actual pitch that I can use by the end of the course.  Now I have skills I can just repeat to get more interviews.

        It’s a great course. I enjoyed it because it goes step by step, in a way that covers from start to finish. Not just what you see in a pitch but what goes on behind it. So that’s amazing. Even the mindset stuff and finding our core message. Great job and I highly recommend people to sign up.

        Having Dean as my PR strategist made my work look more professional and noted. He is so experienced and well-versed in media relations. He made me feel confident and comfortable for the TV and radio interviews.   I am impressed with the way he secured exposures for me even though my area of speciality is quite difficult to understand.

        Working with Dean, I did not feel the dizzying “spin” that many PR campaigns are generally known for. He was precise in the questions he posed to me at the start and during the campaign leading up to the TV, radio and newspaper exposure I received as a result of his strategic consulting. He also repositioned us in a more impactful manner.

        We are pleasantly surprised at how well Dean repositioned our brand. He completely reworked our brand messages in a way that would appeal to our new target audience. The messages were impactful and, at the same time, maintained the essence of our original intentions.
