Budget: A portion of $8,000.00 marketing and publicity budget.
Galleys: Print and PDF galleys will be available.
National, Regional, and Market Specific Advertising: Prominent,
recurring advertising in various strategic press outlets, both in
print and online.
Print/Online Media Campaign: We aggressively promote our titles and
are always seeking out ways to garner attention, using both
traditional means such as creating trailers and sending press
releases and review copies to key media outlets and influential
reviewers, but also creating custom marketing strategies unique to
each release. These efforts have resulted in coverage across an
array of media outlets including AV Club, Boing Boing, The Chicago
Tribune, Comic Book Resources, The Comics Beat, The Comics Journal,
The Comics Reporter, Newsarama, Publishers Weekly, and many
more.
Social Media Campaign: Our web and social presences are distinct
and continuing to grow. We have a recently re-branded 2dcloud.com
website that not only functions as a locus for our direct sales and
artist and publisher information, but also has exclusive content to
drive additional traffic to the site. In terms of our social
presence, we are active on all major channels: Facebook
(facebook.com/2DCLOUD with over 650 likes), Twitter (@2dcloud with
over 1,050 followers), Tumblr (2dcloud.tumblr.com, with over 900
followers), and most recently, Instagram
(instagram.com/2d.cloud)
Artist Self-Promotion: In addition to our marketing and publicity
efforts, our artists are also actively engaged on social media and
in touring with fellow 2dc artists whose releases we’ve paired for
each season. In this instance, Gina will be touring with fellow 2dc
author, MariNaomi. Throughout their touring, they will be posting
adventuresome posts on social media. Gina Wynbrandt also maintains
a website where her past and present work is featured
(ginawynbrandt.com).
General Tour Info: 2dcloud and Gina Wynbrandt will be launching
Someone Please Have Sex With Me at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival
(TCAF), which runs May 14-15, 2016. TCAF is a hugely influential
festival and an important stop during the spring tour circuit for
many cartoonists. This week long celebration of comics and graphic
novels and their creators, culminates in a two-day exhibition and
