Today we are chatting with PR expert Alistair Clay who is on a mission to democratize PR, to help them reach new audiences and achieve massive success by being in control of their market positioning & their reputation. PR feels like a mystery zone, where you are typically at the mercy of an expensive PR firm and we as business owners have no idea how to handle it. Why is that? Is there a myth that you need to be a huge company in order to benefit from PR? You believe all businesses have newsworthy stories within them, you just need to know where to look and what to look for! What 9 questions can we ask to find those stories in our business and to use them to get media coverage. How do we know if we are newsworthy? Passion and newsworthiness are not the same thing. Alistair explains. Now you have your own PR Agency but with www.class-pr.com you teach people to be their own PR and do it themselves – why? Alistair is director of one the UK’s top 30 healthcare PR agencies Arc Seven Communications and founder of Class:PR – the #1 online PR training school for small businesses. Alistair has worked in the media for 20 years and started his career a journalist on The Daily Mirror – one of the UK’s largest daily newspapers – where he covered business, politics and hard news. As the founder of Class:PR he has helped hundreds of business owners and entrepreneurs learn how to get massive media coverage themselves with his proven FAMOUS Formula. His motto is: "Everyone has a story – you just need to know how to tell it". www.class-pr.com For Your Free Press Release Template

Ten years as a journalist and another ten running a public relations agency gave Alistair Clay the skill to spot a newsworthy story and the experience to help make it stand out. Along the way he and his wife, Gemma, developed Class-PR as a way to help startups and entrepreneurs learn how to frame and pitch the qualities that make their businesses unique without relying on an expensive external agency. In this episode of Hack the Process, Alistair will tell us what drove him to turn the PR mentoring he was doing one-on-one into a course, how he found a coach and benefitted from that relationship, and how he and Gemma leveraged their different personalities and skill sets in building and running a business together.
