Marketing agency for authors in UK
A book launch that builds a business, not just a bestseller week. We build and run the demand engine, the funnel and the follow-up for authors selling into the United Kingdom — priced in GBP, tuned to the channels UK buyers actually use.
What we see in UK authors accounts
Launch week is the whole plan
Rank spikes and then nothing. We build the pre-launch list and the post-launch capture so week five still produces revenue.
Readers are never captured
A reader who finishes your book and cannot be contacted is a lost customer. We build the bonus-asset capture that turns readers into a list.
No back end
The book is a business card, not the business. We design the advisory, course or cohort offer the book should feed.
The system we install
Funnel shape: Pre-launch list -> launch week -> reader capture -> back-end offer. Primary channel in UK: LinkedIn Thought-Leader and Document Ads for B2B advisory offers.
Positioning and back-end design
We decide what the book is selling before we sell the book, so launch traffic lands somewhere that monetises.
Pre-launch list build
Lead magnets from the manuscript, paid list growth and a launch-team recruitment funnel, started 90+ days out.
Launch week
Coordinated email, ads, podcast tour support and retail links, sequenced to concentrate sales where they count.

In-book bonus capture, Amazon Ads run continuously, and a nurture path into your paid offer.

Common objection we hear from UK authors: "Publishers say they market the book — why would I pay for this?" Fair — which is why the first 30 days are spent proving the tracking before we scale spend.

My publisher handles marketing. Do I need this?
Publishers drive retail distribution and some publicity. They do not build your email list or your back-end offer, and those are what pay you for the next ten years.
When should we start?
Ninety days before publication at the absolute minimum; six months is better. Launches we join in the final fortnight are damage limitation, and we will say so.
Does this work for self-published books?
Often better. You keep more per copy and control pricing and promotions, which makes paid acquisition maths far more forgiving.
Do you actually have UK clients?
We publish real case studies rather than logos we cannot verify. Ask on the call and we'll show you the closest comparable account, including the ones that underperformed and why.
How do we work across timezones?
Async-first: a shared dashboard, weekly written updates and one live call inside your 09:00–17:30 GMT, Mon–Fri window. Escalations go through WhatsApp or Slack.
