Open Road Integrated Media Looks Back at 2020 Bestselling Books
50 Titles Topped Our Consumers' Lists as They Turned to Reading for Respite, Recharging and Renewal
NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Studies have shown consumers around the globe are spending more time reading as COVID-19 restrictions resulted in a "homebody economy" of stay-at-home activities from reading, to streaming, to cooking, crafting, and more. Open Road Integrated Media (OR/M), through its technology platform, data science, and one-to-one relationship with millions of readers via its sites and newsletters, developed a Top 50 title list based on its data and consumer preferences. The list comprised a broad spectrum—bestsellers from Elena Ferrante and Donna Leon; classics by Octavia Butler and James Herriot; media tie-ins from Walter Tevis and Gordon Prange; and many more titles that found new audiences through OR/M's marketing engine.
"So often these classic gems remain undermarketed and undiscoverable," said OR/M's Chief Marketing Officer Mary McAveney, "because of our discovery platform thousands of books are now finding or re-finding their audience."
