What Pacific & Court does

Pacific & Court is a Brooklyn-based, privately held publicity and digital marketing firm founded in 2021 that specializes in promoting independent authors and book publishers. The firm delivers a unified service suite spanning strategic publicity campaigns (national and local media outreach, broadcast, print, and online placements), social media management and paid advertising (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube), Amazon advertising (Sponsored Products, Brand, Display, Kindle Lockscreen, and Amazon Store design), influencer outreach, blog tours, book reviews, author platform development, and signing/event coordination. It also offers one-on-one marketing consulting covering SEO, email optimization, Google Analytics/Tag Manager, Amazon advertising strategy, book metadata, and Shopify-based D2C store operations. Core technology consists entirely of third-party integrations (Amazon, Shopify, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, BookBub, BookRiot, and social platforms) — there are no proprietary software products, AI/ML systems, or patents disclosed.

The firm is led by President and Co-Founder Kourtney Jason, who brings 14+ years of publicist experience from in-house roles at Ulysses Press and Time Inc. Books and agency positions at Bread & Butter and Smith Publicity, alongside co-founders Keith Riegert, Casie Vogel, and Bridget Thoreson. The team of 1-10 employees collectively represents over 30 years of publishing and book marketing experience. Pacific & Court operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model offering free initial consultations and tailored publicity/marketing plans, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements — project-based campaigns and retainer consulting — for individual indie authors and independent book publishers.

The customer base includes individual authors across genres (coaching, psychology, photography, cooking, true crime) and a recurring roster of publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Ulysses Press, Interlink Publishing, VeloPress, Rocky Nook, 80/20 Publishing, KeyPress Publishing, The Collective Book Studio, and Dzanc Books. Documented outcomes include placements in top-tier outlets (TODAY Show, People, Forbes, TIME, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, USA Today, CNN, Oprah Daily, Associated Press) and Amazon #1 Best Seller / #1 New Release achievements for client titles. The firm maintains a multi-channel marketing presence via blog, monthly newsletter, and active social profiles, and operates without external institutional funding or disclosed revenue figures.
