Salinger, James Patterson, Herman Wouk, Alice Sebold, Anita Shreve, Walter Mosley, Janet Fitch, John le Carre, Jimmy Buffett, Pete Hamill, David Foster Wallace, and Michael Connelly.
Our Task
On a mission to get even more people to read in this digital age, Paterson, along with Publisher Little Brown, created Bookshots, a new line of short novels you an read in a single sitting. Our task was to get Patterson in multiple markets to talk about his new imprint and all of the newest books he already has lined up.
Skills Involved
This was a unique concept to pitch to media outlets, so being creative was a must. Putting our best on the team, we were able to pull in a strong line-up of interviews that reached over 5 million people in all the top markets in the U.S.
