Alpha Multimedia worked with me closely on all aspects of the marketing and public relations related to my book. Thomas guided me from developing the positioning and value proposition for the book, to press releases, target media contacts and more. His wisdom as it relates to book marketing and PR is priceless.

Alpha Multimedia was very polished in how they worked with me as the client, and in their tactics with the media. Thomas was always available to help with whatever I needed. Their carefully planned approach resulted in numerous reviews and interviews for our book launch. We definitely recommend Alpha Multimedia.
