About Agile Marketing 

Agile Marketing was formed in 2003 by Alastair Giles. After roughly 10 years of bombing up and down the M4, he left his job as Group Marketing Director of HarperCollins Publishers and decided to ‘spend more time with his family’ as the saying goes.

That meant living & working at home near Bath and occasionally popping into London to talk to clients, whenever somebody else offered to cover his day job (walking his dog, Jasper, along the canal.)

After helping to create the Richard & Judy Book Club with Cactus TV & Channel 4, Agile Marketing Ltd have now forged relationships with many other national media companies, as well as key contacts in every publisher and bookseller in the UK.

With over 20 years experience in publishing, he has regularly appeared as a speaker at Bookseller’s Association, Book Marketing Ltd, London Book Fair & Small Business Forum conferences. He sits on the working party for World Book Day – Spread the Word, is the joint founder of The Book Marketing Society and is a trustee of the charitable Children's Book organisation Booktrust.

Agile marketing is a small but rapidly growing team firmly focussed on creating new opportunities for potential sponsors for book promotions within the media. In addition we also handle strategic marketing & branding projects for publishers & booksellers alike.
