Projects

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green - #1 NYT Bestseller Campaign

I was the lead marketer on the campaign for #1 NYT Bestseller An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, which involved Facebook, Instagram, and Google advertising, Goodreads advertising, a major programmatic campaign with Live Intent, a bookseller preorder campaign, a digital consumer preorder campaign, and a complete strategy for the author to promote his book. The book hit the NYT bestseller list the first week of publication.

Bachelor Nation by Amy Kaufman - Major Influencer Campaign

I worked on getting copies of this book beautifully packaged with a rose (chosen to represent the huge Bachelor TV show franchise) out to celebrities and influencers who through my research I found out were Bachelor franchise fans, getting celebrity comedian Amy Schumer as well as fashion industry insider, Eva Chen to post about it.

Look For Me by Lisa Gardner - Major Brand Partneship

I initiated and executed a partnership with the Hunt-A-Killer subscription box to cross promote Lisa Gardner's bestselling book Look Fo Me, which included a giveaway of the subscription box and a book, as well as an Facebook Live interview with Lisa Gardner for the Hunt-A-Killer Facebook page (400k+ reach).

Never Tell by Lisa Gardner - lead generation sweepstakes

I executed a partnership between several bestselling thriller authors for an email collection sweepstakes, which every author promoted on their social media and in their newsletters (1M+ organic reach) that generated thousands of new subscribers for each of their email lists.

Tiny But Mighty by Hannah Shaw - Preorder Campaign

I collaborated with Hannah Shaw, the author of Tiny But Mighty on a preorder campaign for her book that landed it on the NYT Bestseller list, where up to 500 people who preordered the book would receive an enamel pin. The book had almost 5k preorders by the time publication came around. The organic and paid social efforts blew this campaign up to huge proportions.

Final Girls by Riley Sager - Ambassador Club

I developed an ambassador fan club with a cult following that drove Riley Sager's book Final Girls to multiple national bestseller lists and was then utilized to push his next books to Instant NYT bestseller status.

This was a group of 20 Bookstagrammers that would receive an email with exclusives once every two weeks and they were encouraged to share these exclusives (author Q&A, giveaways, etc.) on their social media platforms. This was an ideal example of grassroots and influencer marketing that is an essential part of book marketing.

Wonderful to work with from top to bottom. Bespoke and really thinks through and gets into the weeds for execution as well. Most of who I looked at were just sending out templates without putting thought into your project. Elina's real world experience is a giant asset and she works with you to complete all aspects of the project. 10 Stars!

Elina was a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive and took the time to teach me along the way which was so helpful as it was my first time marketing a book so I didn't know anything about the process and the FB and Amazon ad platforms or what the order of tasks should be. The ad strategies she did for me launched my book sales and list building - both campaigns gained consistent momentu...

Elina was wonderful to work with on my new book release! She took the time to carefully understand both the project and my goals. She created a great description for my book that was thoughtfully crafted and she also provided me with excellent keywords to use on Amazon. I highly recommend engaging Elina for your book projects.
