A major element in content marketing can be an appropriate, branded book.

David has worked with a number of great brands, developing some high-profile books.

In 2012, Maldon Salt celebrated its 130th anniversary and created a cookbook full of favourite dishes from top chefs. Desert Island Dishes features the recipes that more than 60 leading chefs – including Albert Roux, Rick Stein, Jason Atherton, and Gary Rhodes – said they couldn’t live without.

David also led a team that developed a key publication for leading spa resorts, Champneys. Working closely with nutritionists, chefs and other specialists this lavishly designed and illustrated book captured their expertise for a wider audience.

Available from Champneys shops and spas it was also distributed in supermarkets, chain and independent booksellers and online.

‘How to’ books are always popular, and David developed and co-wrote a series of best-selling 60-minute Success Skills books which were critically acclaimed and published worldwide in over 20 languages.

Mostly covering business skills – from time management, delegation, assertiveness, through to NLP, customer retention and direct marketing – the strength of the series lay in its chatty informal tone and its accessible design, which meant readers could readily absorb key information.

A delightful collection of short stories written and illustrated by the owner of a walled garden used to provide gardening therapy for people with learning difficulties and mental health issues.

The collection was published in print, print-on-demand, and digitally.
