From The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today to Sirius XM Radio, NPR, C-SPAN TV, and Publishers Weekly, Media Connect has booked a lot of A-list media placements on behalf of our authors and publishers.
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.
