MeRedith Alone

When collaborating with Penguin on their graphic design in Shropshire, Shrewsbury for Meredith Alone, I always start by understanding the brand’s goals, target audience and competition. By working closely with the team, I can identify the message they want to convey through their visuals and develop a comprehensive creative brief that outlines the project’s requirements.

Navigating the UK’s Book-Loving Nation

As a graphic designer, I know that the UK is a treasure trove for book lovers, with over 600 books released daily and with many being renowned authors.

 

Despite the saturation of the market, I believe that breakout success is still achievable. That’s why I am committed to helping books like “Meredith Alone” stand out from the crowd by utilising my expert strategies and pre-publication marketing skills.

 

Working closely with publishers like Penguin Random House, I craft compelling book descriptions and identify key influencers to promote the book every step of the way.

Positioning for Success: A Winning Marketing Campaign

When working with Michael Joseph, I had the opportunity to create a dynamic and impactful marketing campaign that generated buzz and ensured a successful product launch.

 

From design to execution, I was involved in every step of the process, checking that the content was not only informative but visually appealing and aligned with the author’s vision.

 

Knowing the importance of reaching the right audience, I sent multiple proof jackets to influential bloggers and authors for review before launch and our attention to detail, from interactive features to foil finishes, made the book catch everyone’s eye.

Creating a Buzz: The Launch of a Bestseller

I was thrilled to work with Michael Joseph to create an impactful marketing campaign that ensured a successful launch for their book. From designing eye-catching point-of-sale materials for local bookstores to creating social media quote cards and animations, every aspect of the campaign was carefully crafted to generate buzz and interest in the book.

 

Securing reviews from influential bloggers and publications was crucial, so I aimed to secure coverage in newspapers, magazines and even placed ads on popular websites like Hello Magazine and Good Housekeeping. With over 150 bloggers on board, me and the team were able to constantly update the quote cards and send out quote round-ups to the press.

 

The author’s book tour and positive reviews kept the momentum going until the paperback version was released. By constantly refining our approach and utilising innovative marketing strategies, I was able to position Michael Joseph for success in a competitive market.

Connecting with Readers & Selling 1000 Copies a Week

For a debut author, success can be a mix of many things. While established authors may see quick success, debuts typically have a slower build. For them, success is measured by the book’s first year on sale, or at least until the paperback release. And it’s fantastic news that this book is selling 1000 copies per week – that’s the ultimate goal for any debut author! The book has received glowing reviews and the buzz continues to grow, driving even more sales.
