Media MagnetShow Notes
Ever wondered what the perfect pitch looks like?
Welcome to this special throwback episode of the podcast with Smart Company's News Editor, Eloise Keating,
We're recapping this one from November last year to celebrate a very special event, something I've never done before, but I know you will all love!
In just a few short weeks, I'm launching an exclusive series of one-off live pitch sessions with some of the top media outlets in the country.
It's called Pitch This, Not That! and it's open to anyone who wants to sign up.
Normally, you'd only get special access to these guest experts inside my program, The Media Masters Academy, but the overwhelming feedback from those who missed out on the last round of the MMA course was that you wanted a taste of what's inside the course first. You wanted to get a feel for what this exclusive access looks like. And you wanted to get some one on one time with journos and get feedback on your pitches first.
And so your media wish is my command introducing the Pitch This Not That! live media training series with me, Liz Nable Media and PR expert and coach and highly esteemed journalist and Smart Company News Editor, Eloise Keating.
We're teaming up to review your media pitches live in this exclusive webinar designed specifically for business owners, personal brands, founders, startups and side hustlers, we're going to answer, answer all your pitching questions, share our screens and evaluate your real life pitches, live, line by line. Transforming your content into winning story ideas no journalist will ever say no to, and getting you featured in the media now.
So book your spot and clear your diary for Wednesday the 16th of October, 2024 at 12:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, and for just $297 you'll get exclusive access to the best journos in the country.
In the meantime, sit back, relax and listen carefully to this special recap episode, as Eloise shares all her top tips and tricks for getting your brand or business featured in Smart Company Magazine.

Enough of the box-tickers. My guest today says most small business owners have, at some point, buried their head in the sand about their numbers, come to her flying completely blind, and finally hit the point where enough is enough.
"I think we've attached a lot of success to raising capital." When a business raises $25 million and gets a $100 million valuation, we treat it like a win. My guest today says that's not actually a marker of success at all, and understanding the difference could change how you think about your own business.
Most people who sell a business they've poured five years of blood, sweat and no salary into would take the win and put their feet up for a while. My guest today looked at her payout and thought, "Great, let's do it all again, but harder, faster, and with a lot more on the line this time."
There are 2.2 million self-employed Australians. Nearly half of small business owners aren't contributing to their own super. And most of them are telling themselves the same thing: my business is my retirement plan.
They beat out 14 other applicants for the lease. They opened with 5,000 local social media followers already waiting for them. They had a line out the door on winter mornings. Their biggest day was 444 coffees in a little suburban cafe with just two people behind the counter.
