After 23 years in business, the company – and this website – will close on 31 March 2023. Marketability will become the trading name of Rachel Maund, in a scaled back sole-trader business.
Rachel will continue to work with existing publishing clients on training courses and marketing projects both in the UK and internationally, but public training courses will be discontinued.
Sometimes you simply have more campaigns than your in-house team can handle. We can help by taking on entire campaigns, by helping out on one element, or by working alongside you a day or more a week for however long you need us.
If you have a project you think we could help with, contact us with brief details. We’ll quickly get back to you with advice on how we can help, and what further information we need to work out cost and schedule.
Our fees are based on a day rate, and you can buy as little as half a day of help. We’ll always respond to a brief by giving you the estimated number of days it will involve and how they’ll be made up, so you’ll know where you stand. We give progress updates along the way, so if your project changes shape we can work out how best to proceed between us – exactly as you would with any colleague in-house. And because of our extensive experience in publishing, you can also trust us to talk directly with colleagues, authors or suppliers as needed. (Many authors are flattered to find that an ‘expert consultant’ has been drafted in to help market their book!)
Another bonus of outsourcing a campaign is that we will often do a more complete job than you or your colleagues would typically be able to. After all, that’s what you pay us for – and (unlike you) we can’t go back to ‘tie up any loose ends’ later.
Helen Kogan, Managing Director of Kogan Page
Given the practical nature of what we do, the line between marketing support and consultancy is often blurred, but if you need help and we can provide it we’ll be happy to. Find out more under Consultancy.
