Reeton Media launches pitching to the media 101 workshop

Reeton Media – a content creation, communications and copywriting company – has launched a Pitching to the Media 101 workshop to help lifestyle brands and businesses gain positive media exposure. 

The one-hour workshop, which is run by journalist and the managing director of Reeton Media, Sheree Mutton, is aimed at brand managers, publicists and business owners who may not have the budget for a communications team.

"The media landscape has changed significantly and the traditional pitching model is no longer effective," says Sheree. 

"The workshop will help you gain a competitive edge so you can truly understand what journalists are looking for, what makes news, how to present your story and secure features into the right media outlets."
