Our approach was to capitalize on Kristine’s success in the sports arena and the book’s insights into teamwork to capture a mix of business, sports and consumer media. We rode the coattails of the popularity of the US women’s soccer team leading up to the Women’s World Cup played in France in June of 2019 to land major broadcast interviews and print placements for the authors. In addition, we set up a series of book talks for Kristine and John culminating in a very successful author event at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The media reaction to the book was tremendous. Over 30 placements and interviews were secured with the business media; 27 sports media outlets covered the book, local media featured the book in Boston and Austin, and more than 12 book talks took place during the campaign.
Some of the media highlights included:
TESTIMONIALS
As a first time author of my Children's book, Anzard, Media Connect has done an amazing job to promote me on a national level as if I were a best seller. Their efforts were tireless in getting me air time with radio interviewers in many states, they got me me a small army of enthusiastic 'Mommy Bloggers' to promote my book and they even got me registered in many gift guides for the holidays. It's not just the professionalism that I appreciate it's how they never give up, they stay in touch and they treat you with the utmost respect. I'm on my second Children's book and when it's done I'm calling Media Connect, and its great team, to do the marketing and promotion.
