UK-based publishing consultancy, providing training, marketing campaign and market research support, and consultancy to publishers in the UK and internationally
Two examples of humour in copy
1. The airline steward who gave a subtle twist to the line about opening overhead lockers by reminding passengers that ‘shift happens’, and 2. The out of office email from a client which read ‘I’m on annual leave, trying to eat as much food as I possibly can while riding a camel.’ Humour works best when slightly subversive and self-deprecating, but always check with colleagues first.
Training workshops
Practical, small-group training days for publishers in marketing or editorial roles. Topics include copywriting, marketing planning, editorial skills, social media marketing, academic marketing and publicity.
