Marketing Campaign Manager
Book Marketing Launch
When I worked as the Marketing Manager for WinShape Teams, our directors co-authored a book titled Team Work and worked with a publisher to release it on Amazon and other book retailers. This was the first time our organization had ever published a book, and the first time I had ever done an official product launch. Most of my experience was in marketing services, so getting a tangible product out into the world was invigorating and such a fun project!
I met with several people who had successfully published books before and learned about best practices, what is worth the time and effort in a book release, and all about timelines. Once my research was complete, I mapped out a solid marketing campaign and tracked everything in an Asana project.
The plan included efforts for social campaigns, email marketing, additional resources as gated content, a video series, book trailer video, collateral, speaking engagements (breakouts, podcast interviews, etc.), and much more.
I collaborated with a large team of key stakeholders to pull it off, including photographers, designers, authors, public relations specialists, editors, accountants, the publisher, and more. The book released in December 2020.

The Results
This book launch was a great success! We sold nearly 1,000 in our first year, and sales have continued to increase over time. Team Work is filled with timeless principles for success as an individual team member, so this contributes to the steady sales numbers.
