Expansion Opportunities Recent launches and imprint expansions such as Scarlett Press and POISONED IVIES indicate ongoing growth and diversification in genres. This presents opportunities to offer marketing and distribution services for new lines, cross-promotional campaigns with related authors, and bundled publishing packages that leverage S&S's expanding catalog.

Executive Transition CEO change from Jonathan Karp to Greg Greeley in 2026 suggests strategic realignment and potential shifts in priorities. Sales teams can tailor outreach to align with new leadership directions, propose performance-based campaigns, and emphasize scalable digital distribution and eBook initiatives that resonate with a refreshed leadership vision.

Digital & E-Book Leverage Historically pioneering digital formats (eBooks with Riding the Bullet) and current tech stack including AWS and Google BigQuery signal readiness for data-driven marketing and digital licensing. Opportunities exist to pitch targeted digital marketing services, analytics-driven promotions, and exclusive online launches with retailer partners.

Licensed & Franchised Collaborations Partnerships and co-publishing activity (Dynamite distribution, Pokemon tie-ins, and Australia imprint) show openness to third-party collaborations. Sales opportunities include licensing deals, co-branded product campaigns, and international distribution partnerships to broaden reach.

Consumer-Driven Niches New imprints focused on commercial, fast-paced romance (Scarlett Press) and adult-targeted content indicate appetite for genre-focused publishing. This creates openings for market research services, rapid-turnaround marketing sprints, and curated merchandising programs that target specific reader communities.
