Thought Leadership Academies: Session 3 Registration closes: 04-06-2026 18.30
Great founders don’t just speak to the media—they shape the conversation.
In an era where every headline can influence your company’s reputation, the most successful founders know how to take control of their narrative, pitch stories journalists actually want, and show up in interviews with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
At this academy, you’ll learn how to navigate the media landscape strategically: crafting story angles that land, building relationships with the right journalists, and mastering interviews so your message comes through-no matter the pressure. This is not PR theory. It’s practical, founder-focused thought leadership training designed to help you stay in control of your reputation, increase visibility, and build trust with the public, investors, customers, and the broader ecosystem.
This academy is also a peerspace for top founders who want to strengthen their voice in the public conversation-and communicate with intention, authority, and integrity.
Session 3 – Getting Noticed: How to Build Credibility and Visibility
In this session, you’ll hear expert insights and take part in a founder-led roundtable focused on how founders can confidently engage with the media and use visibility to grow trust, influence, and opportunity. Join your peers to explore practical strategies, share experiences, and strengthen your public presence.
This session will feature two talks:
The Power of Visibility: How media exposure drives growth, trust, and opportunity—and why founders need to own their narrative before others define it.
Guest speaker: to be announced
What Journalists Really Look For: How journalists think, what makes a story newsworthy, and how to position your company as part of a bigger narrative—not just a product pitch.
Guest speaker: to be announced
As always, the session will conclude with a founder roundtable moderated by Alex Tolstrup, co-founder of Comundo and former VP of Communications at Trustpilot.
