Building a Media Portfolio from Zero
A practical workshop on creating a media project with real reach — newsletter, podcast, YouTube channel, or multimedia platform. Editorial identity, growth strategy, content systems, and monetisation. Based on direct experience founding Borracha Laranja from zero to 58,000+ subscribers.
The best thing a student in media or communications can do is build something real. A newsletter with 500 genuine subscribers demonstrates more than any academic qualification. This workshop addresses the practical steps: choosing the right format, building an audience from zero, maintaining editorial discipline, and turning a student project into a professional credential. Built on direct experience founding Borracha Laranja, one of the largest independent Portuguese-language sports platforms.
