Courses on Earned Media

For in-house teams and brand marketers who want to build this capability internally

Not every brand needs to hire an outside consultancy. Some organizations want to develop earned media capability in-house — which is a legitimate and often sensible approach. These courses teach the frameworks, processes, and practical skills we use in our own client work.

Available Courses

Self-paced and structured for working professionals

Earned Media Foundations

Introductory

How These Courses Are Structured

Each course is built around the actual processes we use with consulting clients. The frameworks aren't theoretical — they've been developed through real campaign work across multiple industries. Modules combine explanation with practical exercises, and each one ends with a concrete deliverable you can apply immediately.

Courses are self-paced but include optional Q&A sessions for enrolled participants. We keep cohort sizes small enough that questions actually get answered. If your team has specific scenarios or industries, we can discuss whether a custom workshop format makes more sense than the standard curriculum.
