Steven D. Lavine — Failure is What It's All About Book Publicity Case Study

Steven D. Lavine — Failure Is What It's All About by Jörn Jacob Rohwer

This book publicity case study outlines the work Coriolis Company performed for Jörn Jacob Rohwer’s book about Dr. Steven D. Lavine, titled Steven D. Lavine — Failure is What It’s All About, published by De Gruyter. In personal conversations with Jörn Jacob Rohwer, Dr. Steven Lavine tells his life story for the first time, talking about cultural politics, philanthropy, the avant-garde, and Los Angeles at the center of his life. Spurred on by self-doubts and a desire to learn from failure, he proves to be a sensitive thinker, visionary and transatlantic mediator between the worlds of art, politics, and education.

”When Nanda Dyssou and her team take on a project, they work relentlessly and effectively to maximize exposure for the publication, especially on social media. Nanda is imaginative in finding angles of interest for even unlikely subjects. She’s a champ and will make you feel like one as well.
