12 spots. Waitlist gets first access

An ex-influencer manager who’s signed off on hundreds of partnerships sits across the table from creators who have never sent a pitch before.

Founders walk in demotivated and road-test hooks with the agency owners whose social campaigns have shaped culture.

Pitch Yourself Out There is a 3-day immersive retreat in the heart of East London. You’ll learn how to speak to the gatekeepers with the budget and access the tools to create the kind of content that draws brands and event organisers in.

Expect hands-on learning. Instant feedback. Problem-solving your biggest obstacles in a pop-up community. Inspiring conversations. And the kind of friendships that can only blossom in the intimacy of a 12-person event.

why this retreat exists

The girl from Walthamstow who couldn’t imagine life after 25

I grew up in a council flat in East London sharing a room with my siblings, watching my family work incredibly hard with very little to show for it.

The idea that a business could pay my rent felt completely alien to me. Speaking on stages? Being featured in Forbes? None of that felt available to someone like me.

I left home at 17 and swore I’d never come back. But, pitch by pitch, I one day looked up and realised I was living out the business on my vision board. Since I launched my in 2020, I’ve landed paid partnerships with Squarespace, Ganni, Adidas, Papier, On Running and so, so many more.

This event is happening in Leyton. In a small venue. On purpose. Because the version of me that grew up 20 minutes down the road needed to see that this version of her was possible. And so do you, because where you come from doesn’t have to define where you’re going.

I’ve spent years testing, plotting, trial-and-erroring, trying to figure out what works to create unmissable content and land brand partnerships. For the first time ever, I’ll be teaching it live over 3 jam-packed days.

Your dreams are going stale and you're blaming your content

You're making content. Good(ish) content, actually. You show up, you film, you post, and people seem to like you, in a “yeah, I kinda know what that person does for work” kinda way.

But brands? That's a different conversation. One you keep putting off because somewhere between your posting schedule and your pitch drafts, the two things have never quite met.

You've got a notes app full of companies you'd love to work with. A few cold emails sat lonely in your drafts. A canva deck you started and then quietly closed because your imposter syndrome won’t let you show it to anyone. 

Your business plan says that brand partnerships are in the cards, but right now you're more estranged from that dream than an old divorced couple.

you can't unlock brand deals without fixing your content.

And you can't fix your content without knowing how your content is supposed to be working for you

“It made social media social. 11/10 no notes!”

For the founder who loves making content (sometimes)

For the founder posting while secretly wondering if anyone with a budget is watching

For the founder who thinks they can't work with brands because they only like three companies in the entire world and they've already worked with two of them

For the founder still waiting to hit that golden follower count that will magically open doors

Rumour has it they're still waiting

“I’m working with atomicon, sister land and adobe!

this course opened so many doors and paid for itself”

Pitch Yourself Out There was built for that version of you that wants more.

The one who needs permission as much as they need a strategy.

The one who wants to stop improvising their content and start building workflows that actually work around their life.

The one who’s one conversation, one framework, one room away from everything clicking into place.

Because when your content is working and your partnerships are landing, money stops feeling like something you're chasing and starts feeling like something you've made room for.

Arrive with imposter syndrome. Leave with batched content, a plan for your next partnership, and five new friends who’ll end up at your next birthday.

what to expect at pitch yourself out there

Bring your laptop because we’ll be building in the room. An ideas lab for your personal brand.

You’ll leave with:

  • A content strategy planned

  • Limiting beliefs surrendered in real time

  • The strategy to pitch brands, sponsors, and clients with the cheeky audacity that helps you stand out in a crowded inbox

01 — Audacity training + Inner critic therapy

(obvs not real therapy, no chaise lounge included)

You don’t get what you want; you get what your subconscious can handle. Time and time again I’ve seen my clients claim they want growth and visibility but struggle to overcome the inner roadblocks that make the vision so damn hard to reach. I’ll get my whiteboard out and teach you the frameworks for reframing visibility, pitching without apologising, and building the kind of confidence that gets you results (and a few thousand followers too)

02 — Content! Cracked! Crafted! LIVE

Imma hold your hand…your approach to your content isn’t working. Your videos take too long to edit, socials sit at the bottom of your to-do list, and even when you do get around to it, your posts only get 12 likes.

Get live feedback on your content and personal brand, learn how to edit from some of the best in the business, and finally figure out how to entertain your audience instead of boring them to tears with “your 5 tips to improve your life!” (And if you’re nice to me, I’ll show you a behind-the-scenes look at how I grew my audience by 525% just by having fun)

03 — Brand partnership playbook

My clients have worked with Manychat, Tally, Glassdoor, Atomicon, Sisterland, Squarespace and more. Whether you’re convinced that you’re not cool enough to work with brands, or if you’re currently in brand conversations that have gone dry and distant, you’ll get the playbook taught live. I’m doing a lil dance right now because I know your inbox needs this.

taught live for the first time ever!

04 — Panels and workshops with industry leaders

LinkedIn influencers who light up your feed, founders who sell in the thousands through carousels and skits, creator transparency from those managing brand budgets for global retailers. Real conversations. Small sessions. Drinks. And a goodie bag filled with treats.

05 — find your people

When I first started my business, the people around me had a lot of (bad) things to say about my content. You might not realise it, but the self-consciousness of being in the wrong environment eats away at your creativity, forcing you to hide when you should be taking up space and claiming the business of your dreams. Over 3 days, you’ll get the chance to build genuine relationships that will last beyond September 13th. You’ll hold hands, share feedback and breathe a sigh of relief because you’ve finally found a room of ambitious founders who get it

i won’t leave you hanging

I’m so committed to your experience that the event doesn’t end when you leave the room. 45 days after the retreat, you’ll be invited onto a group call with Kira and your fellow attendees to reflect on what’s shifted, get answers to the questions that have come up since, and make sure nothing you learned stays stuck in your notebook.

line up very coming soon!
