Media Coverage

Frequently Asked Questions
We start with creating a customized strategic plan – the Footprint Strategy. We start by identifying people who have successfully reached and impacted the audience we want to reach, and use them as our guides. We then methodically research what media the top 5-10 people in your field have secured that have been most impactful in elevating them to that level. We now have a powerful list of outlets that could make a big impact for you and your book.
We also leverage our own relationships. We have over 3,000 journalists we’ve built connections with over the course of doing hundreds of launches, so we comb through those outlets that align with the direction from the original research.
Finally, we’re a team of deeply experienced PR professionals, so sometimes it’s not so methodical and comes down to instinct.
Absolutely.
Although we have certain directions that we think would be most beneficial, our greatest focus is on any outreach that will move the needle toward your goals.
We work together to determine which outreach will be most effective. For some authors, that’s podcasts. For some, it’s taking big swings for Tier 1 media. For others, it’s something outside the box, like reaching out directly to professors to feature their book in classrooms.
We’re happy to dedicate our time and energy to whatever will support your goals most.
Imagine millions of people knowing your name.
The only difference between you and the people who are better known is that they’ve gotten the chance to share their ideas with more people.
