Public relations and marketing communications firm continues to build its authors and publishing practice with impactful campaigns for bestselling writers and new book launches
Boston (June 9, 2025) – Elevate Communications, a strategic communications and digital PR firm that increases affinity, heightens awareness and drives revenue for leading brands, continues to gain traction as a leader in the author and publishing industry through steady growth and delivering impactful campaigns for its clients. The agency has generated awareness, headlines and sales with integrated campaigns across its diverse roster of bestselling and rising authors across a wide array of book genres.
Building on the momentum of a strong 2024, Elevate has expanded its author and publishing portfolio by delivering high-impact campaigns for clients including Martha Brown, Dennis Bulani, Lucy Hunter, Mindy Uhrlaub, and James Woodfall. This continues the remarkable growth in its author portfolio over the past year, highlighted by an expansive integrated campaign featuring national media, content and speaking programs, along with a multi-market book signing tour, for Chaz Ebert’s It’s Time to Give a FECK: Elevating Humanity Through Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion & Kindness. The campaign delivered over 50 interviews, national media placements, and high-profile opportunities, including appearances on CNN and the Tamron Hall Show.
“Elevate specializes in creating integrated campaigns that bring authors’ stories to life and drive results, whether they’re supported by major publishers or self-publishing their work,” said Keith Gainsboro, Elevate Communications CEO. “Our team’s expertise in media relations, content creation, digital strategy, and events has delivered incredible results for our authors, helping them connect with audiences in meaningful ways. With an exciting lineup of new launches ahead, we’re eager to collaborate with even more writers to amplify their voices, reach new audiences, and achieve their business goals.”
Elevate is collaborating with Woodfall for his new release, The Heart of Finance: Emotional Intelligence for Financial Planners, which offers a groundbreaking perspective on the role of emotional intelligence in the finance industry. With a growing demand for human-centric approaches in financial planning, this timely book explores how advisors can build stronger client relationships and improve outcomes through emotional intelligence, positioning Woodfall as a thought leader in this emerging space. The media relations program for his book launch recently secured a story in Barron’s, enhancing Woodfall’s visibility and financial industry recognition.
Brown partnered with the agency to promote the launch of her highly anticipated book,
It’s On You: Empowerment for Leaders Seeking the Highest Level of Personal Satisfaction and Corporate Success, which was released in February. A former CEO of multi-million-dollar furniture business Tipperary Sales, Inc. dba La-Z-Boy Southeast, and now a renowned executive leadership coach, Brown brings decades of experience to her empowering guide for leaders and professionals looking to take ownership of their personal and professional growth. With themes of accountability and self-leadership, the book has generated buzz with features in Authority Magazine, Thirty Minute Mentors and CEOWORLD Magazine.
Accomplished author Hunter enlisted Elevate for a PR campaign around the launch of The Flower Hunter brand, a new home décor business. Expanding from her previous work in floral and garden design and as the author of The Flower Hunter: Creating a Floral Love Story Inspired by the Landscape and The Flower Hunter: Seasonal Flowers Inspired by Nature and Gathered from the Garden, Hunter launched the new venture with her premier Studio Collections that include hand-painted wallpaper lines and a wall mural.
Elevate is collaborating with Bulani to promote his new book, What a Farmer Wants You to Know About Food, which debuted in February. The book offers science-backed insights to help consumers make informed, confident decisions about their food without succumbing to fear-based messaging. As interest in topics like food safety and sustainability continues to grow, Bulani’s work provides a timely and trusted perspective for readers seeking clarity in an often-complex conversation.
Uhrlaub turned to Elevate to execute earned media and speaking programs for the launch of her memoir The Last Nerve, along with a series of local market media tours for her multi-city speaking engagements to promote the book and her advocacy work. Uhrlaub’s memoir is an inspirational chronicle of managing the challenges of her ALS diagnosis while simultaneously caring for the serious health and behavior issues of her loved ones. Released on May 27, The Last Nerve is a powerful story of hope, endurance and resilience of the human spirit.
“Elevate is my go-to agency when I want my ghostwriting clients to stand out in the publishing world,” said Michael Levin, bestselling author and CEO of Meaning Books. “What really sets the Elevate team apart is their ability to connect those stories with the right audiences, whether it’s securing top-tier media coverage, building visibility around a book launch, or shaping a long-term thought leadership strategy. The agency brings a rare mix of creativity, professionalism, and deep industry insight to craft compelling narratives, deliver high-impact media, and help authors get their books in the hands of more people.”
