Wake Up Call: PR is more than press coverage – All the ways to get your business in front of people
BCI Webinar
In this webinar, PR expert Bridie Hinson will share an introduction to PR for small businesses and self-employed people who want to get in front of more people with what they do.
PR does not mean writing a press release or getting in the newspaper. It’s an approach to promoting products, people and organisations, just like marketing is. And just like marketing isn’t just for big brands, PR isn’t either.
Bridie will cover how PR will help you grow, promote and sustain your small business and walk you through a wider world of opportunities – press, podcasts, speaking, articles, collaborations, and partnerships.
If you want to learn new tools for visibility, promotion and improving the long term reputation of your business – beyond content creation – join this training.

BCI Keynote
Every B2B founder or sales leader hits the same wall eventually. In the early days, growth feels personal. You’re the one sending the emails, working the deals, closing on gut instinct and sheer willpower. But then the cracks show up. The pipeline swings from feast to famine. Your best salesperson leaves, and half your revenue walks out the door with them. Your marketing feels like random acts of hope. You’ve got tools, tactics, a CRM full of contacts. But no system. No engine. Just effort.
In this talk, we’re bringing together two frameworks he’s been refining for years. Demand That Scales and Systems That Sell, into one blueprint that will help you take control over the way you go to market. We’re going to cover the full journey. How to generate consistent, predictable demand using LinkedIn and email, without relying on referrals, random inbound, or hoping your content goes viral.
