When published author and veterinary surgeon Dr. Poli approached Digital Junkies for PR, little did he know how successfully his book would sell outside of Australia, and just how much his profile would take off worldwide. In just 8 month, the Digital Junkies’ PR team got his book launched worldwide and set him up as the new global authority in veterinary emergency and critical care.
How it started?
Dr Gerardo Poli is a Director of Animal Emergency Services, Veterinary Surgeon & Author of The MiniVet Guide to Companion Animal Medicine – a small easily portable complete reference guide designed for Veterinary Students, Graduates and established Veterinarians.
Gerardo chose to work with Digital Junkies due to our already established connections and positive reputation within the pet and vet market. He knew we could hit the ground running and he wanted to utilise our in-house expertise in Vet Digital Marketing services and resources to take his book into a global market.
What did we do? We didn’t waste any time in order to develop Gerardo’s brand globally we:
- Worked closely with him to understand his exact target market and what had worked well domestically
- Completed industry market research – where there any similar books already in the market and what were they like?
- Built an email database of veterinary students societies and communication teams
- Researched veterinary publications for guest blogging opportunities, interviews and promotions
- Created an email sequence campaign introducing the book to students
- Researched student focused veterinary events globally to discover exhibiting or sponsorship opportunities
- Redesigned book cover to have a fresher and more eye catching feel
- Redeveloped his website to include advanced SEO optimisation, together with adding a blog, testimonials and a more manageable payment method
