Dean Shams
With 15 years of experience as a PR strategist, I've successfully obtained media features for clients across diverse industries, ranging from solopreneurs to multinational corporations.
My clients have secured multiple media placements on CNBC, Business Times, Straits Times and all other top-tier media titles in Singapore. Most are subject matter experts and run service businesses.
Like you, they attract engagement due to the reputation they've built and the media credentials they have earned.
Having attended numerous dialogue sessions with editors of top-tier media, I know exactly what they are looking for in a pitch. By nailing the angle, you can unlock numerous media interviews.
The step-by-step system is designed specifically for you, even without prior experience or media contacts. It's the quickest way to secure interviews. It applies to any industry in any country.
Additionally, I'm the author of "The Publicity Playbook for Subject Matter Experts," which you'll receive when you enrol in my course.
