@SimonBooks brings a legacy brand to a new audience

Episode Summary

@SimonBooks has been around since before Twitter – before the internet, even. Their first marketing materials were print ads in 1920’s magazines.

In this episode of Character Count, we sit down with their Director of Marketing to learn how they found their online audience, and what it’s meant to the brand.
