CloudJoi Connect Ep.5: The Magnet Effect 2025

Who Are Our Partners?

Special Highlight: CloudJoi Meet Up

CloudJoi Meet Up is an informal, stand-up style platform where attendees can take the mic and share their upcoming projects, bold ideas, or simply what’s on their mind. It is designed to initiate conversations, gather feedback, and see who’s with you!

Worried if you’re qualified? Don’t be. There are no qualifications — ANYONE can grab the mic (just register first la). Unsure if your topic is “pro” enough? No problem. This session is not curated. You can share your future project, spread positive vibes, lead a talk, highlight an issue, or even talk about today’s weather. It’s completely up to you.

This is a true peer-to-peer sharing moment. Everyone is here for you.

In this practical session, Ista Kyra and Sukhbir Cheema, co-founders of Eksentrika, share tried-and-tested techniques for securing press coverage that amplifies your artistic reach. With more than 15 years of combined experience in journalism, publishing, and arts PR, they know what editors and producers are really looking for. You’ll learn how to write a compelling pitch, the dos and don’ts of contacting media outlets, and how to build lasting relationships with journalists. Drawing from real-world examples, they’ll show how simple tweaks can transform your press outreach. By the end, you’ll have the tools and confidence to get your work featured — and seen by more people.
