Job Description
Summary of the Position
Original, quality content is perhaps the most effective tool for the marketing team to use when promoting books.

Abridged Articles

They will liaise with the bookâs development editor and the online marketing coordinators to ensure that the articles are relevant and on topical subjects. They will work with technical editors of that specific book to extract the material.
These articles will then be published to attract visitors and improve Packtâs performance in search engines. The online marketing coordinators will also offer these articles to their contacts to help promote the book they were extracted from.

Original Articles
