'Exceptional talent' Davies promoted at Orion

Cait Davies above is stepping up from head of marketing at Orion to deputy marketing director with immediate effect.  She will continue to report into and work alongside marketing director Lynsey Sutherland to lead the marketing team and strategy at Orion as well as deliver campaigns for authors. 

Since joining the team in 2017, Davies has been responsible for delivering brand campaigns and growth for some of Orion’s biggest authors, including Michael Connelly, Joe Abercrombie and Simon Sebag Montefiore, as well as spearheading marketing campaigns for the likes of Candice Carty-Williams’ Queenie, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Philippe Sands’ The Ratline. She recently won a Highly Commended from the Book Marketing Society for her work on Accidentally Wes Anderson.  

Orion said: “A true champion of breaking down boundaries to publishing, Cait has also been instrumental in the success of the ‘Orion on Tour’ initiative to reach new readers and promote regional diversity in publishing.” 

Sutherland added: “Cait is an exceptional talent and one of the most creative, innovative and dedicated marketers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. This is a hugely deserved promotion and I can’t wait to see what Cait will continue to deliver for our award-winning team, the business and our authors as she steps up into this exciting new role.”
