Leanr how to create compelling media kits and pitch decks

About the event

This will be a no-nonsense session diving into the strategies I've used to secure paid assignments for brands such as Grand Seiko, Adobe, and Volkswagen.

I will share what has worked for me over the past few years and allowed me to turn my passion for photography into a full-time job. We'll cover the fundamentals for finding and approaching potential clients as well as my thoughts on how to convince them to choose you!
 

Media Kits

Learn how to create professional media kits that will impress potential clients. Assemble all the key elements that will help brands get to know you while also showcasing your best work.
 

Pitch Decks

Learn how to go the extra mile to win assignments by creating detailed and personalised pitch decks. Then discover how to find the right people to contact in the companies you want to work with.
 

Attendees will recieve a PDF with all of the points covered during the session.
 

I’m Scott Howes, an English lad who escaped the 9-5 city life of London and ended up telling stories for brands on the other side of the world in the beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Social media might make it look like a smooth ride but my journey to this point has been far from easy. Since I was a little boy I always had a camera on me, but I never envisioned doing this for a living at the ripe old age of 36.

I've been fortunate to work with some incredible brands over the years such as Volkswagen, IWC Schaffhausen, Qantas, and more. In this session I want to show you the strategies and tactics that have helped me succeed in today's highly competitive market.
