Power Hour Testimonials
“It was a rewarding experience working with Susie! She played a crucial role in connecting us with another journalist for a power hour session, which turned out to be incredibly valuable for our practice.
The professional she matched us with exhibited contagious enthusiasm and passion for her work. It was refreshing and motivating to engage with someone so genuinely committed to the cause of the topics my organisation works with. Her insights and ideas have already started to make a positive impact on our approach.
We greatly appreciate Susie’s efforts in facilitating this collaboration. It was a perfect match, and we look forward to exploring more opportunities together in the future. Thank you very much for your invaluable assistance in making this happen!”
“After attending a very valuable masterclass with Susie a few years ago, I reached out to her for a Power Hour session upon returning to work from maternity leave and needing a refresher in PR. The session was wonderful. The insights provided were incredibly valuable, and I’m excited to start putting some of the strategies discussed into practice. The session was tailored to my specific needs, and I’m confident that what I’ve learned will have a positive impact on future PR efforts. I highly recommend to anyone looking to sharpen their PR skills.”
“I’ve had such a productive cooperation with Susie. When you work in PR, it’s super helpful to learn more about the inside work of big outlets.
Suzie analyzed my request and set me up for a Power Hour with a fantastic journalist through her content network. During this hour, we analyzed our pitches, brainstormed new angles, and dove deeper into the industry. I’ve had 4 pages of super helpful notes!
Absolutely recommend it to anyone searching for advice on media relations in business and tech.”
“I attended one of Suzanne’s Power Hours recently, and it was an absolute game changer. I was put in touch with a journalist in the relevant sector I was looking to get one of our clients noticed in, and I’ve come away with so many tips and tricks, and more of an understanding of what a journalist is actually looking for in this sector. I would highly recommend booking one of these if you’re struggling to get traction in a particular area of the media. Thank you so much!”
“I had the pleasure of a Power Hour with Susie. I came away with such a game plan in my head, it was fantastic. Susie’s knowledge of the industry was palpable, her advice was relevant, and her pointers felt achievable. Lots of practical tips that I am looking forward to putting in to practice.
A huge thank you from me. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a small business and needs some pointers of how to get seen in the press.”
“Susie is a PR guru. I had a one-hour consultation with her and in that short space of time she opened my mind to the world of journalism.
With practical examples and tips and tricks that I as a business owner I could use immediately, it made me aware of all the things that make the difference when it comes to working with journalists. I would highly recommend.”
“B was brilliant, full of ideas - I have pages of notes - thanks so much!”
“Suzanne organised a Power Hour with a fantastic freelance travel writer, and it really was worth the money. We spoke in depth about my project, broke it down into relevant story angles, pitch ideas, who to speak to at what publication and how best to approach each one. My PR background is in music, and I’ve been working in PR for over two decades, so I can do the music book with my eyes closed. However moving into a different niche isn’t just about getting new contacts to speak to, but also learning how the genre works in terms of what editors are looking for (and what they’re not!). Being able to tap into someone’s wealth of expertise and experience, run ideas past them, and map out a game plan for approaching media was absolutely invaluable. Whether you’re new to PR or a seasoned hand, a fresh pair of eyes is always incredibly welcome and extremely valuable. I’d recommend speaking to Suzanne, her connections are spot on.”
