For fiction or non-fiction titles with an art, photography or entertainment theme, we offer a depth of subject knowledge and experience that will position your book to receive the kind of media attention that will drive sales, share a positive message with millions, and raise the author’s brand profile.
Through the 55 years Media Connect has served as a leading book promoter, we have publicized many books with a theme relating to art, photography, entertainment or culture.
We had a very successful campaign for Art & Place, published by Phaidon Press, which directly impacted sales in a significant way according to the client. Please consult: http://www.media-connect.com/clients/case-studies/place-189.html.
Since then we have worked with Phaidon on Where Chefs Eat and also had a very successful campaign with The Art of Forgery by distinguished art scholar and novelist Noah Charney.

TESTIMONIALS
Our Satellite TV Tour with PTA proved to be one of our greatest triumphs – penetrating more key markets than we ever imagined. The folks at Planned Television Arts promised to deliver, and they did with the highest level of professionalism and enthusiasm. They were with us from start to finish.
