US Book Trailer Producer Opens Office in London

Digital Book Video Finds Audience in UK

With eBooks growing in popularity and greater technology allowing consumers access to digital technology, Book Trailers a term trademarked by Circle of Seven Productions founder Sheila Clover English, continues to grow in popularity and effectiveness.

“Online outreach to the public and specifically to readers and reading communities continues to grow.  Book video, which gives a visual synopsis of book, gives an author the opportunity to quickly share their storyline with the pubic in a way people have evolved to expect and even demand; video,” says English.

Book Trailers, when Googled back in 2002 had less than ten returns on search, all of which had to do with book mobiles, not digital video.  Currently, if you Google that term, you will find over 81 million results.  As digital book video grew in popularity in the United States more and more publishers and authors from other countries began to take interest.  The CEO of COS Productions, who has been interviewed by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and NPR among other notable U.S. media began to be contacted by magazines outside the U.S. such as Livres Hebdo of France, EMP Publishers  in Canada, Bookreel TV of the UK and several online blogs.  Circle of Seven Productions was known worldwide and began making plans to expand to the United Kingdom.

Circle of Seven Productions UK, LTD officially opens November 1st, 2012. The new UK Director is London resident and marketing professional Mark Tuban.  Mark will be in charge of daily operations and customer relations as well as project manager for the U.K. and the U.S.  Tuban conducted extensive research in the area and has definite objectives and goals for the company in the U.K.  that involves outreach to publishers, authors and industry professionals as well as to readers, booksellers and libraries.

"The cost of marketing a book is coming down," says Circle of Seven's UK Director, Mark Tuban, "Not only are we helping publishers reach out with more books to bigger audiences - but we're putting professional marketing firmly within the reach of the self-published author. We can help them engage with readers like never before."

COS Productions has already created relationships and identified online sites specific to the United Kingdom for distribution of UK book trailers. 

“We’ve seen such growth in the popularity of book video with readers in the U.S. we hope to have the same reception to them in the U.K.” says English.
