Book Promotion

The Dog Who Took Down Osama Bin Laden

Our Client

Former Navy SEAL Will Chesney came to us looking for promotional services around his new book — “No Ordinary Dog.” The story follows Will and the military working dog he handled during the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound.

The Challenge

With thousands of books released in the U.S. each day, book promotion services are more vital than ever. Getting your book the recognition it deserves in a crowded marketplace becomes more difficult by the month. 

In today’s market, you need to craft the right narrative about your story, while focusing on relevant themes and priority information to captivate your audience. To reach key audiences and maximize a book’s sales potential, customized strategies are necessary. Without a tailored, multifaceted campaign, your book will get lost in the crowded industry.
