If you've been trying to break into beauty and fashion PR, you already know the frustrating truth: everyone tells you to "network your way in" or "get experience," but nobody tells you how the job actually works, what agencies expect on day one, or why your pitches aren't getting responses from editors.
I've been on the inside of this industry, and I built this course because the gap between what schools teach and what PR teams actually need has never been wider — especially now, as AI rewrites how pitches get written, how coverage gets tracked, and how fast everything moves. The students who get hired aren't necessarily the ones with the most prestigious degrees. They're the ones who walk into an interview and can talk about media relations, gifting ROI, influencer vetting, and crisis response like they've already lived it. This course is how you become that candidate.
Everything in Beauty PR Insider is built around what the work really looks like. Not the romanticized version — the one where you're drafting a pitch at 8am, building a media kit by noon, fielding a journalist's question about a brand controversy by 3pm, and prepping a seeding list before you log off. We go through all of it: media relations, press materials, influencer and creator management, product seeding strategy, Fashion Week logistics, crisis communications, AI-powered tools, and how to put it all together in a portfolio that gets you interviews.
I'm not going to sugarcoat the industry. PR is competitive, fast, and increasingly technical. But it is also absolutely learnable — and once you have the right framework, the confidence follows quickly. I've designed every module with practical exercises you can turn into portfolio pieces, because theory without output doesn't get you hired.
If you're ambitious, willing to do the work, and serious about building a career in one of the most dynamic corners of the communications world, I want to help you get there. Let's stop waiting for someone to hand you the invitation and start building the credentials that make you impossible to overlook.
