We’re thrilled to be running a second BMS Primer workshop for book marketers in 2025.

Targeted at those in the early years of their career, as well as those hoping to join the industry or wanting an update on latest developments, this workshop will take place online over the course of two mornings and will offer an in-depth overview of book marketing, with new insights and the latest thinking around campaigns, available tools and resources.

Attendees will learn how marketers handle their campaigns, overcome challenges, and drive results – the aim is to learn from industry experts, and stay on top of marketing trends and best practice. The event will culminate in a session where participants will get the chance to create and present their own marketing campaign working with other colleagues across the industry.

*This will be a virtual workshop, taking place over two mornings.*
