“Two weeks after pitch school I’ve already got three exciting calls in the diary”
“Do it. Even if you think you know what you're doing when pitching, it's so valuable to get clarity on the process, on your deck and on negotiating. The A-Z structure was really helpful and I loved the coaching calls and opportunities to ask questions. I'm no longer second guessing whether I'm pitching properly or whether I could be doing it in a better way. I'm confident to take the action needed to get my business to where I want it to be. Two weeks after Pitch School, I've already got three exciting calls in the diary”
Hayley Dawson, Founder of Let’s Talk Human Skills
“I now go after the projects I want with full confidence”
“It was such a valuable way to fast track my thinking. Beforehand, I struggled to find the time to develop my own pitch deck and spent way too much time overthinking how to pitch my services. Pitch School helped me understand the process, but also gave me the accountability to simplify my thoughts and create a pitch deck I was proud of. I would say if you're in a similar boat and need that extra push to define what you offer and how to go after what you want, then Pitch School is for you. I believe that it's 100% possible to go after the experiences that I want with full confidence. Pitch School enabled that feeling of agency”

Genuine desire to create partnerships with brands + organisations
You’ve dipped your toe into the space whether you’re creating content, speaking on podcasts, or perhaps you’ve worked with a brand once before
Willing to develop the confidence to overcome your fear of pitching + sliding into to inboxes
Willing to spend 1 hour a week on the tasks needed to raise your profile, grow your business and get the attention of brands
-
Yes. Inside the program there are two pathways you can choose from: Brand Partnerships or Employee Experience.
Employee experience is focused on connecting with teams and hosting experiences internally. That can look like featuring on a panel at a law firm, to breathe work sessions for busy professionals. You’ll get access to personalised email templates and call scripts so you know exactly what teams are looking for. -
This program will work when you work it. Brands are able to pay much more than an individual can for your services. For example; a breath work teacher could make £300 from a public session. But if you were to work with a brand you could host the same session for a fee of £1,000-£2,500 (depending on some variable factors)
When you get good at pitching you’ll learn how to create these opportunities regularly so that working with brands aren’t just random one-off events

Lucy Kebbell, Sustainability Consultant & Speaker
create the opportunities on your vision board
My business took on a whole new level when I started working with brands. In 2021 there was a flurry of opportunities that landed in my lap. But overnight folks stopped reaching out. It freaked me out…”Was I irrelevant? Is this the end of my business?!”
Fuelled with a desire to take control of my story I made it my mission to understand how to pitch to brands and corporates, I wanted to learn how to speak their language. I joined a tech company, worked in a sales team completing a staggering 1,741 cold calls to directors and VPs.
For 12 months I lived and breathed corporate sales and learnt how to position my workshops as the solution to many organisational challenges. Since, I’ve completed successful pitches to the likes of Ganni, Schuh and Squarespace. I’ve hosted sponsored dinner parties, virtual summits, and team retreat days.
I’ve pitched the likes of ganni, squarespace and schuh
Some of these brands found me via my socials because of how I positioned my page, but a lot of these brands I pitched them my ideas directly. And now I’m teaching creatives how to do the same
If I had to credit my wins down to just one thing, I’d say it’s that I truly believe that the magic of the perfectly timed pitch. Companies have challenges that you dear freelancer can solve. But how do you build a relationship with corporates? How do you inspire a brand to share their strategic goals with you, so that your pitch is well timed and relevant? The danger is missing the mark here and ending up in spam - but once you get it, you’ve got a skill for life.
Pitch School is a sales program that will teach you how to sell your genius whether you want to host yoga workshops for employees or you’ve got a podcast that needs sponsors.
Being a creative is changing. Are you ready to change with it?
