Course overview

A proven 7-step approach to winning media interviews.

Getting publicity is one of the best ways to build your brand and establish yourself as an authority in your niche.

But you might think you need a PR agency with a polished press release to get prime media interviews.

Nope!

The truth is, you usually don't need a press release, and you have the exact same chance of winning if you make the pitch yourself. And you can start with zero media contacts.

Let me show you how to do it successfully in 7 steps. They are the same methods I have used to get my clients extensive media placements.

Publicity is actually a big topic. This course focuses on how subject matter experts like you can get media interviews on radio and TV and be quoted in newspapers and magazines. It's one of the easiest and fastest ways to gain a lifetime of media credentials to your name.

Let's win at the easy game of getting media interviews.

By taking this course you'll be able to...

Identify your key media message.

We are going to start with the end in mind.

Knowing precisely what brand message you will put out to the media is critical. So that every interview or coverage aligns with this message. With each coverage, you get to build and strengthen your business and personal brand.

Reframe your expertise and insights to match what the media is looking for.

Every subject matter expert and specialist has deep wisdom and unique perspectives on issues that could help people make better life, career and business decisions. You have that too. You will learn how to repackage them into stories that will excite the media.

Develop irresistible media angles by exploring the impact of your message.

Why do the media pick one pitch over the others? There is a formula to it. The closer you follow this formula, the higher the chances of the media wanting to showcase you.

Identify your real target media and start building your media database from scratch.

Not all media interviews are worth it. You have to be selective.

Developing a targeted media database is not easy. But it is not difficult either.

When you have a game plan, you can build a robust list of reliable media contacts. It's not rocket science. You can do it.

Write an impactful media pitch and confidently submit it to targeted media.

Know precisely the key elements that make a good media pitch. Make every word count. A clear, concise and compelling pitch can get the media excited to book you for interviews.

Use templates and cheatsheets to make the process structured and easy to implement.

All processes are templatised to take the guesswork and confusion out of the processes you are going to learn.

Engage in active learning & gain instant feedback from your peers.

The sessions are designed to include hands-on sessions. There will be time allocated for breakout discussions and peer feedback on your work from your fellow participants. You can form peer mastermind groups to keep one another motivated.

What people are saying

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.

Christine Wong

Founder of System of the Heart and Success & I

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.

Mervin Yeo

Founder of Introverts Network Asia

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.

Dean Shams

Since 2005, as a communication strategist, I have been getting media features for the products, services, and individuals from diverse industries. I am happy to say that almost all of my clients, from solopreneurs to MNCs, have gotten multiple placements in the media.

With more than a decade of experience, I have come to understand what the media is really looking for. The secret is the pitch. If you can get the angle right, you’re well on your way to multiple interviews with the media.

I have worked with numerous subject matter experts and businesses in the professional services industry. They’re the ones to benefit the most from having their profile and credibility boosted through media coverage. Like you, people engage with them because of the name they have built for themselves.

And I’ve designed this system especially for you. I have laid out a step-by-step process on how you, too, can get coverage fast - even if you’ve never done it before, you don't have any media contacts, and you don’t know how to write a press release. There are many ways to secure an interview; what I’m offering here is the fastest way.

I am also the author of The Publicity Playbook for Subject Matter Experts. You will get a copy when you sign up for my course.
