Hi there! I’m Eleanor 'Ellie' Pilcher, an award-winning book marketer and content creator

If you’re looking for an experienced and reliable professional to take your marketing to a best-in-class level, then get in touch - let’s get started!

If you need a passionate and dynamic expert in adult trade publishing, who can guarantee innovative, high-impact campaigns with a positive attitude and endless creativity, you have come to the right place.

I have over a decade of experience working across all genres and formats of adult trade publishing, with specialisms in digital and influencer marketing.

With experience running end-to-end campaigns for digital start-ups, big five publishing corporations and independent publishers, I have demonstrable experience developing best-in-class campaigns that deliver results regardless of budget or manpower. With thumb-stopping digital campaigns and unmissable, strategic awareness campaigns, I have launched debuts, developed digital-first titles, elevated popular authors into brands, and maintained and built key titles into off-the-shelf bestsellers.

I am voraciously creative and have a passion for storytelling. In addition to marketing, I am also a content creator with over 25,000 followers on TikTok, a freelance journalist with bylines in Stylist, Glamour and the Huffington Post, among others, and a published author of contemporary women’s fiction with Penguin, HarperCollins and Bedford Square. As a result, I’m uniquely placed to manage author expectations and communicate effectively and professionally with key stakeholders at all times.

"Where can I start, Eleanor is great and she really knows her stuff. She's friendly professional and full of helpful ideas.

I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone"
