MEDIA CONNECT conducted a boutique campaign for Silicon Valley insider Mike Hoefflinger’s book, Becoming Facebook (April 2017). The book tells the fascinating story of Facebook’s coming-of-age as one of the world’s greatest companies. A computer engineer turned marketing innovator, Hoefflinger joined Facebook at the start of 2009, fresh from Intel. For seven years, he worked closely with COO Sheryl Sandberg on growing Facebook’s advertising business and, with thousands of other insiders, contributed to Zuckerberg’s mission: making the world more open and connected. It is a riveting business memoir rich in practical lessons. MC executed a national campaign with an emphasis on traditional media (print, TV, radio) and online outlets.
Results: The book received widespread positive coverage in business and tech media. Hoefflinger appeared on Bloomberg Technology TV, Cheddar TV, and the Business News Network. He was interviewed on Marketing Matters on Wharton Business Radio, KGO’s The Pat Thurston Show, and popular tech podcasts Six Pixels of Separation and The Social Pros Podcast. The book was also featured on Business Insider, The HuffPost, Forbes.com, Inc.com, IBD Weekly, The Los Angeles Times, The Economic Times, and many more.
Media Highlights:
MEDIA CONNECT Team: David Hahn, Nick Masercola, Adrienne Fontaine, and Barbara Monteiro
TESTIMONIALS
It takes more than luck and word of mouth to keep a book on top of the bestseller list... it takes vision, planning and a dynamic promotional campaign. Planned Television Arts combines professionalism, experience and market knowledge to provide me with the opportunity to reach millions of people each year through print and radio media. I give PTA my highest recommendation.
