What We Do
Press Campaigns
A successful media campaign can increase your credibility, generate exposure for your work, drive traffic to your platform, increase sales, and much more.
Social Media Marketing
Social media not only drives sales but also informs targeted users that you exist, enhances your brand image, builds connections with media and influencers, drives traffic to your website, and builds signups to your mailing list.
Events
Successful events drive word of mouth, generate revenue, build your credibility and platform, create media coverage, build relationships and alliances, and, most importantly, allow you to get a firsthand sense of your audience.
Video production
Wildbound has extensive experience with development, preproduction, production, post-production, and distribution of various kinds of video projects to help build your launch your book and tell your story—including book trailers, author videos, web series, TV, and feature films.
Web Design
A professional website is a must for anyone serious about their work. It is the key tool to develop your message and brand—it is your online calling card, your main hub, the place where your social media networks and pertinent information about your work should all come together.
Platform Building
Your platform consists of many elements, including your web presence (website, blog, social networks, mailing lists, etc.), your public speaking engagements and events, video elements, and any stories and articles that have been published.
Marketing Services
Wildbound’s marketing services are designed to put your book squarely in front of the audiences who matter, spark buzz, generate reviews, and create the kind of organic momentum that keeps growing long after launch.
