School Starts 5th
january 2027
It's an A-Z course that will teach you how build a repeatable system for landing brand deals and your next paid speaking gig. From pricing, to sourcing direct emails of your favourite companies, my clients have landed deals such as event sponsorship with Figma, paid talks for employees at Asos, Natwest and so many more.
“$10,000 worth of brand deals, Pitch School helped me think why not me?!”
— Kelsey Mccormick, founder of coming up roses “I really wanted to figure out the how of pitching. I knew visibility and partnerships were something I wanted, but actually sending the emails felt like a major block. I had even hired a PR agency in the past to help, but they didn't actually help. I knew I needed to just do it, but I wanted some training, accountability, and the full template/toolkit on how to get it done.
Kira's unapologetic approach to pitching. She really has the audacity, and being in her orbit makes it contagious. You end up thinking, well why not me? And that led me to getting some incredible opportunities with brands like Planoly, Manychat, Tally (totaling over $10K USD) And I even started hosting events with the Ace Hotel in Sydney!”

You’re sick to death of watching other people get the opportunities you wish you had

You’re waiting for the perfect moment: the perfect IG feed, the perfect website, the perfect words to say in that first email so you don’t miss your shot. The stakes are high and the wins are low.

“I love the content. It was all so in depth. The best bit was the learning and the community of founders I’m now part of”
Amika Barnett, Singer & Founder of Sfumato
“I got a collaboration was worth 5x times the price of the course! It’s been so worth the investment”
— Sasha Starlight, fashion designer and youtube creator“Pitching was something that I always had on my to-do list but was always getting pushed to the back of the line. I'd built a sizeable following on socials & knew there were ways I could be leveraging it to create new opportunities but needed some guidance & momentum getting started.
Overall I absolutely loved the course & it's changed the way I operate within my business on lots of levels — not just pitching!
I've had 2 big wins after Pitch School: a fabric print collaboration with one of the UK's biggest fabric companies (to be released next spring!) and I've been nominated in the Best Original Content category at the ITV bCreator Awards. It was an application process that felt like a long shot but Pitch School gave me the 'why not, what's to lose' mentality and confidence to go for it. The nomination has already led to a couple of other big opportunities too! The fabric collaboration alone has covered the price of the course 5x times over so it has definitely been worth the investment.
I felt very supported by Kira and the program, both during & in the months following the course. There was plenty of time to get really personalised feedback & I loved the focus on just doing the thing over needing to be perfect! The additional course materials - pitch tracker/templates etc. - are also really great to keep you on track”

“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”

Partnerships and opportunities don’t just happen. And even when they do, relying on brands coming to you puts your business in a vulnerable place. In order to create repeatable opportunities you need a process. A system.
I’ve developed an easy-to-use water tight process for you to plug and play in your business. Expect templates, examples, case study breakdowns, cash flow trackers, database of the hottest conferences, festivals and podcasts to raise your profile - this is about simplifying the world of pitching so your elevate your personal brand and get paid for you’re creativity. -
No, all the calls will be recorded and you’ll get lifetime access. But it is recommended to watch the calls as soon as possible to get the most out of your experience.
We’ve had students from New York to Australia who could only watch the recordings, but made time to watch the sessions at a time that suited them.

Absolutely. Pitch School plus 1:1 gives you access to 3 x 45-minute coaching calls to be taken within 12 weeks of you signing up

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
-
There are so many ways to use Pitch School with no or a limited audience
Use pitch School as a way to acquire corporate clients for your web design business or coaching services
Discover how to create UGC content for brands, you don’t need followers for this (You create videos for brands to post on their social channels)
Focus on working with corporate companies that don’t require you to have an audience
Often anxieties about not having an audience can shield fears of rejection. After all, Who the hell do you think you are wanting to work with household names?
As a coach who’s worked with founders with tiny personal brands, to founders with 100K + followers I can confidently say that more followers won’t make it easier to pitch. More followers won’t magically give you the confidence or the money to build the business that creates real financial success. I have seen countless videos of creators with huge social accounts that struggle to get brand deals, because in 2025 numbers alone aren’t want brands are looking for.
The creators that are working with their favourite brands aren’t the biggest, they have a proven system to build relationships and how position themselves for opportunities time and time again.

How kira became the ‘queen of pitching’
My business changed forever when I started working with brands. In 2021, opportunities were flooding in, then almost overnight, the DMs went quiet. "Was I irrelevant? Was this the end of my business?!" It freaked me out.
Fuelled by a fierce desire to take control of my story, I made it my mission to master pitching to brands and corporates. I joined a tech company and spent 12 months in a corporate sales team, living and breathing their language. I completed a whopping 1,741 cold calls to directors and VPs, learning exactly how to sell to big corporates.
That hands-on experience transformed everything. Since then, I've landed successful pitches with Ganni, Schuh, and Squarespace. I've hosted sponsored dinner parties, virtual summits, and even corporate team retreat in New York.
I’ve mastered pitching for myself and now, I'm teaching creatives exactly how to do the same. P.s I started pitching at around 2k followers on IG. I’m known for getting impressive opportunities even though I have a ‘small’ audience.
If I had to credit my wins to just one thing, it's this: the magic of the perfectly timed pitch. Companies have challenges, and you can solve them. I'll show you how to build those crucial relationships and craft pitches that cut through the noise – not end up in spam. Get this right, and you've got a skill that will pay dividends for life
