Chief Marketing Officer at Open Road Integrated Media
Interview starts at 9:51 and ends at 38:35
“I do think we’re unusual in that we consistently continue to market these books day in and day out for many years. I think that’s the benefit we bring to our partners in the Open Road Ignition program, that we are taking those eBooks that they don’t have time or resources to market in an ongoing way and doing it on their behalf.”
