Respected publishing and communications consultant
Belinda Cooke has joined independent publisher Oratia Media in a part-time
capacity as Sales & Marketing Consultant.
Belinda was Managing Director of New Holland
Publishers (NZ) for 16 years before opening her own consultancy in January 2015.
Earlier this year Belinda led a wide-ranging
market survey for Oratia, which set the platform for a relaunch of the business
in early 2016.
She will oversee the marketing of the rebranded
Oratia publishing programme, dealing directly with booksellers and the media, as
the business pursues a growth strategy.
Belinda will continue to run her consultancy
alongside her Oratia role, offering marketing and communications services to
publishers and other clients in the arts, food, wine and health arenas.
Oratia Media Managing Director Peter Dowling welcomed
Belinda’s contribution: “We’ve known Belinda for many years and have the
greatest respect for her professional abilities.
“It’s exciting that we are now working
together and I’m sure we’ll benefit greatly from her expertise across the
publishing industry.”
Belinda Cooke commented: “I’ve always admired Oratia’s focused and
culturally significant publishing programme, and it became clear during the
market survey I conducted earlier in the year that this is a widely held view
in the industry. So I feel privileged to be able to work with Peter and his
team to increase the exposure of their books and services.”
