Untld Project PR Academy, £275
Look, we’re not going to apologise for plugging our own course in a gift guide for small business owners, after all with brands being featured in places like This Morning, Mollie Makes, Stylist and more, we’re kind of killing it in the PR game and you can too thanks to our self-paced, online course hosted on Teachable.
Beginner Pinners Workshop, £30
In case it’s not clear by now, we heart Rachel Emma Waring a LOT. As well as being one of Untld Project’s small biz besties, she’s taught us so much about Pinterest over the years all using her own brand of inspirational, educational content to teach us her magical ways. Ready to ‘pin to win’ in 2023? Get started with her bargain, instant access ‘Beginner Pinners’ workshop - thank us (her) later.

From TikTok to Instagram templates, you can customise your posts and find fun ways to engage with all your new followers. Not on the ‘Tok yet? Don’t panic, you’ll also be able to easily manipulate photos or find high-quality stock images right at your fingers fingertips as well as having access to all the tools and resources necessary for dynamic and creative content creation that’ll make you stand out from the competition.

It’s no secret it’s going to be a tough(er!) year next year financially, but instead of sending yourself into a spiral, why not use this incredible On Paper finance tracker from the incredible Alice Benham? We’ve had a cheeky sneak peek of the range and safe to say our desk is now sponsored by her paper goods!
Photography with Emily Morgan, POA
We’re never not going to invest in beautiful imagery as a small business so thank god we have EJM in our lives! From picture perfect product shots to headshots fit for Vogue, Em has you covered on all counts, however, we’ll warn you, beautiful photography is a serious addiction so prepare to give her ALL your money!
