Our Services

Events

We design literary events that feel like cultural celebrations. From book launches to full-scale festivals, we make sure every reader feels seen. In 2023, we reimagined the Essence Authors stage at Essence Fest, bringing fresh energy and focus to Black authors.

We’re already planning for Black Book Bash 2025, where we’ll bring readers, influencers, and authors together in a one-of-a-kind literary experience.

Whether it’s a panel, author chat, or nationwide tour — we build events that connect authors directly with their audience.

Digital Marketing

Our digital marketing services are built for impact. We help authors launch successful campaigns with purpose — from cover reveals to book drops, from ARC influencer mailings to paid partnerships.

We strategically match books with the right influencers, build custom rollout calendars, and track buzz to ensure ROI.

Past campaigns have included:

  • National influencer coverage for authors like Victoria Christopher Murray
  • Influencer meetups with legends like Tina Knowles
  • Secure placement in USA Today bestseller list through organic momentum

Every campaign is bespoke. You bring the book — we bring the strategy.

Influencer Management

CKMA is the only agency solely focused on book influencers. We help creators grow with purpose — from brand partnerships and author chats to exclusive industry invites.

We support influencers by:

  • Shaping their content strategy
  • Connecting them with publishers & authors
  • Managing outreach and partnerships
  • Building income through literary content

We bridge the gap between publishing and content creators — ensuring the people who move culture are in the room.
