Would you like to understand why your pitches are being ignored?

Or discover which journalists you need to be targeting?

Or ask me about what creative and easy ways you or your client can be featured in the press?

 

During a Power Hour with me, a freelance journalist for the Guardian and BBC and a media consultant, you'll get the chance to ask any burning questions you have about approaching journalists, building relationships with the press, or any other gripping issue related to journalism or PR that you may have. Through my content network agency, I can also arrange a Power Hour with a journalist more specialised in your sector. 

 

This Power Hour is for you if you:

  • Want personalised advice on pitching and working with journalists

  • Want 1-2-1 access to me for yourself and/or your team

  • Want to be able to ask me questions after attending my workshop/webinar/course

  • Want advice about journalism*

* if you’re a student or in the early stages of your career, please contact me as I can offer a more affordable rate.


What does a Power Hour with me include?

1 X PRE QUESTIONNAIRE TO BE FILLED OUT PRIOR TO THE SESSION 

This is so that we can nail down whatever it is that is challenging you and to make the most of your session so we can achieve the results you’re looking for.

1 X 60-MIN SESSION WITH ME VIA VIDEO/PHONE CALL 

This is where we’ll focus on resolving your problem over the phone or via WebinarNinja. We’ll come up with a plan of action for you to take forward after the session. Within 48 hours I will send you an email reiterating the action points. 

If you would like more personalised guidance, depending on availability, I may be able to create something more bespoke for you or recommend others for further consultancy.

How much does it cost?

A Power Hour starts from £199 for a small business. 

This is for one person. For additional people please contact me to discuss. After payment is complete, we will book in a convenient time for us both.


 

Power Hour Testimonials

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.
— Ruth Sturdy, founder of Colour Chronicles
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.
— Ann-Marie Smith, business coach, A Lighter Side To Life
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.
