Abi Inman

Abi Inman – Marketer

I'm a social media/marketing professional and a Penguin Random House expat who has worked on dozens of NYT bestselling books.

Overview

I spent two years in marketing at the Riverhead Books and Viking Books imprints at Penguin Random House. I worked on marketing campaigns from start to finish, including native social media posts, paid ads, and influencer outreach. I also coached authors on the best way to find and connect with their audience on social media, and leverage any existing following. While there I worked with authors like Elizabeth Gilbert, Marlon James, Tana French, Lauren Groff, and more. Now I work at Atlas Obscura, a digital media company, where part of my job is using our social media platforms to promote our bestselling books. I've done extensive consulting and freelancing outside of these positions.

Projects

Atlas Obscura Instagram

I took the Atlas Obscura Instagram from a messy, unprofessional account to a verified feed with a clean, consistent aesthetic. I’ve partnered with accounts like @accidentallywesanderson and @haarkon_ for content swaps, bringing in thousands of new followers in one fell swoop. When I started in November 2016, our Instagram had less than 40,000 followers and an engagement rate of 2.09%. Since then, I’ve brought us to more than 185,000 followers with a 5.07% engagement rate.
