Welcome to RM Marketing Services
Here at RM Marketing Services, we love books in all their formats — and we love the business of publishing. From strategy to execution, we’re passionate about sales, marketing and business development across the industry. Most of all, we take pride in getting the job done — professionally, efficiently and well.
With over three decades of senior experience in the book publishing industry, RM Marketing Services was established by Rachael McDiarmid in 2014 to provide outsourced solutions and consulting services to local and international publishers. Our work spans everything from sales and marketing to business development, supply chain improvements, digital platforms and content acquisition.
Whether it’s a one-off campaign, ongoing marketing tasks or industry-specific project work, we partner with publishers, distributors, suppliers and service providers across the book trade.
Our goal? Helping publishers do what they do best — by managing the marketing and business side so they can focus on creating, curating and publishing great books.

We have a running joke that we're too busy doing everyone else's socials that we don't have time for our own (!), but we like to post updates on books we're working on, authors we're working with, the services we offer, and interesting articles about the publishing industry.
Follow us on Instagram for helpful tips and tricks about book marketing and to keep up-to-date on campaigns, publicity and events. You can also find us on Facebook, LinkedIn, X and Threads. |
