BookMachine took the time to understand our business, and delivered a really engaging and energising interactive session, in which every member of the team was able to participate and contribute.
Joanna RoseMarketing Director, HQ/Mills & Boon (HarperCollins)
Having an external moderator (who understands publishing - crucial!) to run a focused Sprint for an important product, and taking the time of our busy week to do it really focused our thinking and enabled us to plan a campaign in record time. Thanks so much for your help!
Alexandra McDonaldCommercial Director, SPCK Publishing
Thanks for today, it was a great session and a really good way of collectively picking our brains. Felt very productive.
Julia GarveyOperations Director, British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA)
It was a great workshop, really useful and good fun and I am really looking forward to working with you.

What a Sprint can offer
You can focus
We know that time and budgets are tight. The Sprint methodology provides you and the team with a dedicated space to develop effective campaign plans for your next product, title or series.
You can team up
Working collaboratively with the whole team from afar is made simple. With access to a shared workspace and structured sessions via Zoom or Teams, the virtual process still allows you to combine your ideas effectively.
You can explore
Sprints allow you to discover your main area of focus using an exploratory process that leaves no stone unturned. Consider all the challenges and reframe them into opportunities that will form the campaign you plan.
You can create
During the Sprint, you’ll formulate a clear idea about the campaign you’ll be planning, the customers you’ll be reaching and the outcomes you want to see. Wrap up the session with actionable next steps.
If you’re ready to run your own Sprint,
we’ve created a mini virtual Sprint plan to get you started:

Events & Launches
We’ve organised over 200 events over the past 10 years – and many more online. From speaker events, Q&As to book or new product launches, we’re experienced at marketing and running the entire event. We have oodles of experience and like to guarantee success.
PR campaigns
Our book publicity experts are creative, experienced and super-connected. From debut fiction to non-fiction, the team loves to create a great hook and can manage all of your outreach. Four to six months before publication is best, so let's get the conversation started.
Content creation
Our experienced copywriters are creative and meticulous. We have decades of experience writing articles, general web copy, copy for brochures, prospectuses, newsletters, leaflets and more. If you’re rushed before an event or launch, we have a speedy service too.
Facebook advertising
Targeted Facebook advertising can be used to drive online sales of one book or a series. Our team targets your readers by demographic and interest to boost sales. We can also run online training sessions to help boost in-house knowledge.
Marketing creative
Anyone who has worked in social media will know that the main challenge in increasingly crowded online markets is to stand out visually. We have an in-house designer, plenty of animators and even a film crew on hand!
If you have a project to discuss, we would love to hear from you!
