- It has never been more important to be competitively positioned for success;
- ◾ we’re pivoting out of the pandemic and into an uncertain economic landscape,
- ◾ social media platforms we relied on for promotion and visibility are imploding,
- ◾ the competition’s stiffer than ever,
There´s never been a more critical time to get off the sidelines, get in front of the right people, and break through the noise.
NOTHING achieves that better than strategic public speaking and media appearances.
From ‘Unknown’ to ‘Sought-After’
Media, speaking, and PR – “earned media” and “borrowing audiences” – allow you to:
Powerfully establish credibility & authority
Stand out and make the $$ you deserve
Rise above the competition
Replace fruitless social media posts with content that converts
Play a Bigger Game
The Break Through with Media Summit is YOUR solution to
How do we do that?
By gathering industry experts from every aspect of speaking, media and PR in a live 3-day virtual event to help YOU envision what that kind of firepower could do for you and your business
With the Break Though with Media Summit, you´ll meet the experts and learn about the strategies, requirements and resources you need to get invited, featured and promoted on stages and in media to go from unknown to sought-after.
You don’t have to have a big list, a big budget, or big industry connections. But You DO need to have somethings in place to start down this path…
Whether your goal is to start OR to scale your speaking and media exposure, this LIVE interactive event is designed to help you visualize, strategize, and get started with your own speaking and media campaign.
This summit restructured my whole thinking around priorities, and what might be possible for me, and then gave me the whole toolkit I need to move forward with leveling up. It’s exactly what I needed (and need) to be doing RIGHT NOW…what could be more important to my family than being happier in my work, having a greater impact, and getting paid real money to do it.

All this incredible expertise LIVE and at your fingertips!
where you’ll find ouR speakers
“…an amazing gift of a summit. This was one of the most content-packed Summit’s I’ve ever attended. The speakers were real “go-givers” and not only contributing but learning WITH us – they felt like part of the community, not people who “drop in” and give their ideas and leave.”
Susan Schramm, Founder, Go to Market Impact LLC
meet your host
Hey! I’m September Smith, a podcast host, podcast guesting strategist, and business consultant.
I also passionately want to get the tools and expertise into the hands of those visionaries and change-makers – authors, entrepreneurs, & coaches – to help them take advantage of speaking opportunities and earned media – print media, TV, podcasts, and radio – to get seen, heard and make a real difference.
I created the Break Through with Media summit to help you figure out how to do that. To powerfully bust out of the social-media-posting grind and break through to more authoritative stages and media where you can build your portfolio of client-convincing media content and credibility.
#YourVoiceMatters #WhyNotYou
When I came to the Break Thru with Media Summit, I didn’t know what to expect. The speakers blew me away with their content, their unselfish giving of themselves and resources. Perhaps the most significant takeaway I received was the understanding and benefits of EARNED media coverage. The speakers gave real-life examples and shared ideas that I could use immediately. Thanks, September, for putting together an all-star group of people that will help catapult my speaking business. I am eternally grateful.

HERE’S WHAT SUMMIT 1.0 ATTENDEES HAVE TO SAY!
The Break Through with Media Summit was just that, a Breakthrough! It allowed me to clearly understand media’s impact on my business and the distinct parts of media that empower and ensure my success. I’m very grateful and ready to show up in the world! Thank you
Sheila James, CEO of Saint James Media, Empowerment Coach, Speaker
“..The Break Through with Media summit blew me away! I didn’t expect to attend every session, but I put all my other tasks on hold because I didn’t want to miss a single event! As a relatively new speaker, I devoured the advice and tips for getting visibility in the media. During the summit, I signed up for all the offerings, so even though the summit is over, my journey is just beginning…I was grateful and encouraged by the support I received… I am truly indebted to [September] and her team, and I thank you!”
Connie Inukai, Grandmapreneur®, Author, Speaker, Inventor
This summit is AMAZING! I have an entire notebook of copious notes on each speaker. I registered for each freebie and sent Linkedin Requests to every speaker then pinned their LIVES to the top of my social media pages and I’m working on my one-sheet. I had a free discovery call with one of the speakers and I’m looking forward to my free TedX training in July! Amazing!

STILL GOT QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS!
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: It’s free because I want to share the collective wisdom of these media experts with ambitious entrepreneurs – those that know that marketing strictly within the social media landscape is a dead-end and who want to go bigger and soar higher – to give them the vision and a rapid path to leveling up, to see an alternative to the social media hamster-wheel we’ve all been sold on by the influencers and gurus. Knowing your options is power!
What is the difference between the free access and the All-Access Pass?
Answer:
The free registration pass gives you access to the community during the summit, every one of the 17 speaker sessions over the 3 days, post-session Q&As, downloadable worksheets, any live events within the community, and 36 hour access to session replays.
The paid All-access Power Pass offers all that, daily ‘after-hours wrap-up sessions’, lifetime access to the content, premium bonus content from the speakers – e-books, training, courses, etc – that they usually charge for, and the ongoing Break Through with Media community to add momentum to your inspiration.
Answer: The summit event is indeed live. Each one of our speakers will be with us live and able to respond to your questions. The recordings will be available to everyone for 36 hours; paid access pass holders have lifetime access to recording.
How long will I have access to the replays?
Answer: As a free pass holder, you will have access to each of the sessions for 36 hours. Paid pass holders will have lifetime access.
I have a new business; does this apply to me?
Getting media coverage can actually be a powerful way for new businesses to really get off the ground! The necessary element to making this work is having your core business concepts, products and messaging firmly established. After all, media is all about the message. For some entrepreneurs, like consultants, they may be ready to harness media immediately – and often do to build their brand.
Either way, it is never too early to know what your options are – and who better to learn from than an array of experts!
Getting media exposure, stage appearances, PR and publicity for you and your book is as good as it gets! Learning how to make this happen can take you to brand new heights
Will this work for product-based business as well as service-based businesses?
There is no one-size-fits-all formula for the best combination of media for a given company or industry but if your kind of business has ever been successfully marketed with advertising then you can bet this will work for your business.
Is this approach strictly for extroverts?
Not at all! Some of our speakers are actually introverts themselves and have figured out the best way for them to comfortably utilize media and speaking to position themselves and grow their business.
Is this to replace social media marketing for my business?
No – to turbo-charge it with Bigger-impact content and make it work even better for you! You can still post and engage on social media; you’ll just have much more authoritative, convincing content to be posting and sharing. In the meantime, all your media and speaking appearances is being promoted by others on a wider variety of channels, getting you and your business in front of more people than you’d reach in years of posting.
Will I get my questions answered?
We will do our best to get all questions answered after each expert session and in the chat afterwards.
Will all the speakers get my email address?
Absolutely not! The only person you’ll get emails from after you sign up is me, September. That’s so you can get all the updates for the summit and all the links you’ll need. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from me, but I endeavor to provide only value and relevant updates re: future live events with our speakers. If you are not interested you can unsubscribe at any time.
As for the speakers, the only way your email address will be shared with them is if you opt-in for a freebie they promote or grab one of their bonuses offered in the Bonus Power Pack, which is part of the paid access passes. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to 20 email lists that you’re not interested in.
Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
No problem! Email any questions to hello@break-through-events.com and we’ll get back to you within 1-2 business days.
