Media Relations Agency Specialising on Books and Cultural Events


Whether you write or publish books, organize exhibitions, endow or award a prize, plan a congress, or send your authors abroad: you need good contacts to the media. Establishing these takes a lot of time and effort.


For a maximum of media attention, we support your project and communicate your content. We have long-time experience in PR and our media relations, general interest or trade press, often based on personal contact. We know who will take interest in your issue.

 

  • We have accompanied international authors like Irvin D. Yalom, Anna Wahlgren, Martin Amis, Edward Ball, or Leonardo Padura on their press and reading tours through Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Taking care of every matter considering the author means to us not only local/nationwide press support and comprising interviews, the booking of hotels or flights according to personal wishes. We also bring your author together with interesting persons – because PR is about people, not companies alone.

  • Our clients include publishers like Beltz (Germany, children's books and paedagogics), Unionsverlag (Switzerland, international crime), Goldmann (Germany, fiction paperbacks) and Kiepenheuer (Germany, literature).

  • We help local culture departments with festivals and events – e.g. „Literaturlandschaften Bayerns“, Bavaria's biggest literature festival ever.

  • We work with sponsors of literature awards – from the first concept to the actual event.

  • We handle congresses from sketch to execution, including editing of publications afterwards.

  • Being based in Frankfurt/Main, we offer our assistance for your successful Book Fair presentation.

  • Our office in Berlin helps you in creating contacts to international media, artists, creative people and politicians of the Capital of Germany

Of course our services also include forward feature tracking, the providing of press kits, press releases, documentation, clipping, reporting, and monitoring.
