Case study
How we launched The Garden We Inherit
The challenge
A literary memoir from a debut author needs editorial validation, not ad spend. The path was credible features, in the right outlets, on the right week.
Our approach
- Hand-pitched 24 long-lead outlets with custom angles for each editor
- Coordinated 4 author essays placed to run in launch month
- Built a 90-day NPR and BBC outreach plan with audio-ready talking points
- Curated a 75-person literary ARC list spanning critics, essayists, and indie booksellers
Services delivered
"The features did not happen by accident. They happened because someone made them happen, week after week."
