🎓 What You’ll Learn in PR Power for Purpose-Driven Organisations

This free course is designed to help not-for-profits, charities, and purpose-driven organisations gain real media coverage — without spending a cent on PR.

Across six focused, easy-to-follow modules, you’ll discover exactly how to find your story, pitch it to the media, and speak with confidence when the spotlight’s on.

Here’s what’s inside:


📘 Module 1: Why Every Organisation Has a Media-Worthy Story

Think your organisation isn’t “big enough” or “newsworthy”? Think again.

In this inspiring first module, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why media coverage isn’t about size — it’s about heart
✔️ The kinds of real, human stories journalists love
✔️ How your everyday work can become a story worth sharing
✔️ A mindset shift that will help you see your organisation as worthy of media attention

You’ll walk away understanding that your story matters — and the media wants to hear it.


🕵️‍♀️ Module 2: Spot the Story – What the Media Actually Wants

Now that you believe you have a story, let’s uncover the right one.

In this module, you'll learn:
✔️ How journalists think — and what they’re looking for
✔️ The 5 elements that make a story media-worthy
✔️ How to spot powerful, emotional, timely stories within your own organisation
✔️ Examples of stories that have earned coverage (even from small groups)

This is where you start thinking like a reporter and identifying gold in your own day-to-day work.


🧩 Module 3: Shape the Story – Make It Media-Ready

You’ve got the story. Now let’s make it impossible to ignore.

In this practical session, you’ll discover:
✔️ How to structure your story like a journalist would
✔️ What makes a great headline or hook
✔️ How to turn your story into a compelling pitch (with emotion and impact)
✔️ What details, quotes, and visuals make a story irresistible

This module helps you turn raw stories into polished narratives journalists can run with.


📤 Module 4: Send the Story – How & Where to Pitch It

This is where we get strategic about outreach — and get your story into the right hands.

You’ll learn:
✔️ How to find the right journalist, outlet, or show to contact
✔️ What to say in your pitch (with a sample email template)
✔️ The do’s and don’ts of contacting media
✔️ How to follow up professionally without being pushy

You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to pitch your story with confidence.


🎙️ Module 5: Say It Right – How to Handle a Simple Interview

You’ve landed the coverage — now it’s time to shine on camera or behind the mic.

In this session, you’ll learn:
✔️ How to speak clearly and stay on message in any media interview
✔️ What to say (and what to avoid)
✔️ How to prepare strong soundbites journalists will love
✔️ Confidence tips for handling nerves or tricky questions

You’ll be ready to speak with clarity, confidence, and purpose — every time.


🔁 Module 6: Multiply the Impact – What to Do After You’re Featured

Most people stop after they’ve been featured. Not you.

In this final module, you’ll learn how to:
✔️ Repurpose your media exposure across social media, email, and your website
✔️ Thank journalists and build lasting relationships
✔️ Use coverage as social proof to attract donors, volunteers, and funders
✔️ Turn one feature into multiple stories and bigger media opportunities

This is where one piece of coverage becomes an ongoing PR asset.


By the End of This Course, You’ll Be Able To:

✔️ Identify powerful stories within your organisation
✔️ Craft a compelling pitch the media will love
✔️ Speak confidently in interviews and share your message clearly
✔️ Build relationships with the media — without relying on a PR agency
✔️ Amplify your mission and raise awareness for your cause
