Unlike other branding firms, we get tactical. Due to our deep knowledge of publishing and platform building, we do more than just consult. For select authors we will take as proactive a role as you need in managing your brand and promotion—in compliment to your publisher’s contributions. We also can connect you with the best book publicists in the industry within the business, leadership, self-help, and religion/spirituality categories, and will work with them to insure your publicity is on-brand and in step with your long-term goals. And, we safeguard your author brand from being co-opted by a publisher or single publication, so your brand equity and readership follows you book-to-book throughout your writing career.
We have worked with such authors as NEW YORK TIMES bestseller Joseph F. Girzone; category bestsellers Ambassador Gregory W. Slayton, Terry Hershey, and Mark Thibodeaux; and corporate America’s leading knowledge transfer expert Steve Trautman.
