Want media coverage for your business?
First you have to...
Getting media coverage is one of the most sought after ways to rapidly gain exposure for your business. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.
Not only does it hold the promise of new customers and positioning your business as a market leader, but it's also the key stepping stone to anywhere you want to go with your business ... new partnerships, acquiring funding, or scaling up your team.
But getting in the door is much harder than you think ... because PR agencies guard their secrets like the Bank of England guards its gold.
- Being a great company alone won’t cut it
- A brilliant new product isn’t enough
- Great connections won't get you the coverage you want
- Even world changing ideas can be ignored
Getting Media Coverage Is NOT About Acquiring The Skills To Get Journalists To Tell Your Story... It's About Helping Journalists By Telling Them YOUR Story. And These Are NOT The Same Thing.
Because what most PR agents will never tell you is that everything you’ve learned so far is practically useless when it comes to getting in the media...
A journalists job isn't to find the best story ... it's to weed out the worst. They'll ignore you, confuse you and do everything in their power to make you stop contacting them.
- They'll ignore your emails (for day, weeks, even months)
- Hit you with a holier than though attitude
- Question your expertise and make you feel worthless
- And they'll cause you to question if media attention is worth the effort
Quite simply, the process of getting media coverage is a gauntlet which will eat you alive if you don't know how to navigate it.
Featured in the Guardian Christmas list
“After completing the FAMOUS course we were featured in the Guardian Christmas list and we saw a huge spike in sales. The course has given me a system for doing PR. Before the course I felt overwhelmed, now I’m confident pitching to even the biggest media, because I know we have a story!”
Melissa Wilkes, Henty
The Only Way To Crack The Code Is To Learn It From Those Who Have
Walked Your Path Before.
Only then will you know all of the little tricks, secrets and shortcuts to getting your story heard and beating your competition: the tens of thousands of other small businesses who are competing for your spot on the front page.
And once you have this knowledge, what seemed like a gauntlet will be a walk in the park.
Where others are confused and intimidated, you’ll be calm, cool and collected.
When others are banging their heads on their keyboards, you’ll be totally prepared for anything any journalist can throw at you.
And when others are working to get into their local weekly, you’ll be getting your story repeated throughout national and international publications.
The bottom line is this:
To Get The Coverage That
You Deserve, You Must
Know Everything ...
And That Means Going To
The ONE Place That Has EVERYTHING

The Insiders Guide On How To
Land Media Coverage In The
Largest And Most Prestigious
Media Publications.
Here’s just some of what you’ll get:

Journalists aren't looking to tell your story ... they are trying to get their stories written and submitted on deadline.

Don't Let One Missed Pitch Cost You 100s Of Customers ... Get The Course That Will Prepare You Better Than Anything Else.
The FAMOUS: Public Relations and Media Coverage Course takes you way beyond anything else. While others claim to give you everything you need, the truth is they only scratch the surface. Even worse, they’re created by one person who’s been out of public relations for years …
Hardly what we’d call “comprehensive”...
And there’s an even BIGGER problem with this approach:
It’s totally outdated.
Public relations is constantly changing. What worked even last year is no longer effective. Journalists are inundated with pitches and stories … and the way media is created and consumed is constantly changing.
That’s why the FAMOUS course is created by currently practising Public Relations Agency owners … people who live and breathe this industry - day in and day out … who can tell you what’s changing firsthand… and will keep you up-to-date on everything you need to land the coverage your business deserves.
How do we know this? Because we've been down this path before...
We are Gemma and Alistair Clay, the husband and wife team behind Class:PR. Our expertise comes from both sides of the media – as journalists and PR directors.
And here's why we can help you ...
Eight years ago, Gemma founded one of the UK’s most successful boutique PR agencies, Arc Seven Communications, enabling her clients to secure huge national and international media coverage.
Gemma came up with the idea for Class:PR because she wanted to disrupt the traditional agency model and democratise PR for small businesses. These businesses, who often wear their hearts on their sleeves, nearly always have more interesting stories than the big guys, but don’t have the budget to hire agencies.
Alistair is an award-winning former national journalist with 20 years’ experience working in the media and PR. He started his career with The Daily Mirror and ITV before moving on to head up the Press Team at an international NGO. He is also a Director at Arc Seven Communications.
Alistair has led major global PR campaigns and secured coverage for clients in all significant media, from the likes of The Financial Times and the New York Times to Mashable, TechCrunch, Radio 4 and Sky News - day in day out.
He is also a speaker on the relationship between business and the media and is host of The Famous Business Podcast.
This course is the result of that combined experience.
With our breadth of knowledge and decades of experience, you get the effectiveness of a boutique PR agency without the monthly retainer.
We know how hard it is to break into the media and share your story. We also know the cost of missing that opportunity – or more – letting your competition get it instead.

Consider this your first
investment in getting the media
attention you deserve ...
When you finally learn how to get journalists to pay attention and write about your company ...
You'll be landing piles of new clients and getting the attention you so richly deserve.
And this is just the beginning of a very long and lucrative process that continues to gives you ROI year after year.
We could easily charge $1,000s and
your ROI would still be huge ...
At a fraction of that price, the ROI is even better ... a few hundred in exchange for tens of thousands down the line. When you do the math, it’s a no brainer.
And that doesn’t include the time you’d have to spend figuring all of this out. Even if you used the free information you find on Google, blogs, and YouTube, you’d still have to find it, organize it, vet it, test it and systematize it to get it to work.
That would take months - maybe even years … and at that point, you will have missed your window, blown your opportunity of ever getting media coverage in national and international publications.
All while watching your competition take the coverage right out from under you …
The Class: PR Famous Public Relations and Media Course gives you everything you need to nail your story, crush your competition, and land the prestigious media spots you’ve always wanted … quickly and easily.
But we're not going to charge you thousands ...

Your Choice is Simple.
If you’re reading this, you’re here for a reason: because you want to be one of the very few who gets their story heard … and because you need help doing it.
Your opportunity really is limited … you have one good shot. If you don’t get your business in front of the right people, your competitors will beat you to it. Don’t believe me? There's a reason why so many PR agencies are flooded with clients ... attracting journalists and getting published is hard work.
Because the reality is that major publications are literally flooded with thousands of people just like you and me: great products (if people only knew about them), customer-focused, and hard working … and most of them still end up struggling to even get their emails replied to.
The journalists have the pick of the litter, and only those who are superbly prepared, who have mastered their stories, and who understand the subtle nuances of making an effective pitch will be heard.
Do that, and you’ll gain entrance to a world few people will ever glimpse. A world of interviews, stories, and access to thousands of potential customers.
So…
The choice really is yours. And your opportunity really is limited.
Don’t waste it.
Start getting national and international print, TV, radio, and online coverage for your company.

The BBC ran our story!
I had no idea that we had such a strong story! Now we’ve been on the BBC and we’ve been all over the regional news in London. Most importantly our health message is getting out to the young people we want to reach! Trust Gemma and Alistair - they really know their stuff!

Do this course if you want to stop guessing at PR!
The FAMOUS course completely changed the way I looked at my business and gave me the confidence to put myself forward as the face of it. Alistair and Gemma taught me that I could be ‘that’ expert that the media goes to when they’re doing a story on lighting. The course helped me see that as a small business I had a big voice and one that the media would love!
