Softening The Edge: Empathy - How Humanity’s Oldest Leadership Trait Is Changing Our World

Mimi Nicklin

The Book Publicist team were delighted to be appointed to work on the book launch of Softening The Edge by empathy expert, Mimi Nicklin – and the launch was so successful the campaign was extended to further profile Mimi as a creative entrepreneur, speaker and podcaster.

As well as publicity for new business and leadership books, we are also able to use our extensive network of media contacts to secure high-profile thought-leadership opportunities for clients. This means that we can go beyond the book and showcase our client’s expertise in international media, sharing Mimi’s insights in the UK, Middle East, Asia and North America.

Our Approach

We worked closely with Mimi to develop a bespoke PR strategy that would cover international media, showcase her book and profile her as a thought-leader on key topics. We identified key media opportunities that would allow her ideas to resonate with her target market, and crafted compelling pitches to secure coverage across the media around the world.

Media Highlights

Our efforts resulted in a wide range of media coverage during this book PR campaign, including lots of coverage in the business and HR media including high profile slots such as Fortune, Forbes, Management Today, BBC Business Live, People Management and the Harvard Business Review podcast.

Mimi also became a firm media favourite talking to the lifestyle and consumer media titles including Stylist, Women’s Health, Grazia, iNews and Yours plus many more.

Results

As well as Softening The Edge becoming a best-seller, our PR campaign resulted in excellent media coverage across the business media to further solidifying Mimi’s reputation as a speaker and international authority in empathy and leadership. By crafting targeted pitches, building relationships with international media contacts, and working with Mimi to create engaging content our PR campaign helped to drive sales and further cement her position as a thought-leader.

Softening The Edge: Empathy - How Humanity’s Oldest Leadership Trait Is Changing Our World
by Mimi Nicklin

Softening the Edge is an insightful new book from millennial leader Mimi Nicklin that takes a long hard look at the impact on our lives of the worsening “empathy deficit”. Empathy levels have fallen by a staggering 40% in ten years – according to a longitudinal study by the University of Michigan, so this book is part business tool, part corporate culture guide and part social eye opener.
