“Mount Hideaway Mysteries,” written by Vincent Christopher, is a family-friendly book and movie series for teens and adults. It features strong female characters, examples of engaged parenting, positive portrayals of Christians and Homeschoolers, and a lot of action, adventure, and mystery.
The first book in the “Mount Hideaway Mysteries” series was recently released, and FrontGate Media was hired to help promote the book through our Women’s Blogger Network. The campaign took place over 8 weeks with the goal of increasing brand awareness, generating email leads, and creating SEO value through backlinks.
Target Audience
The ideal audience for this campaign was Christian families with teen children who would be interested in reading a faith-based fiction chapter book.
Campaign
The campaign utilized FrontGate Media’s proprietary Women’s Blogger Network, our partnership with a large number of bloggers who have a substantial Christian following on social media and blogging platforms. The campaign included pitching, confirming, and facilitating the bloggers to go through the review process and post their reviews and a lead gen giveaway program.
The campaign took place across four main social media platforms: Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram providing wide reach to Christian families in their favorite social media communities.
Each blogger involved in the campaign received a free copy of the first book in the “Mount Hideaway Mysteries” series. In return, they read the book, wrote a book review, and shared about it on their own blogs and social media pages.

“The characters come from a Christian family and take their faith seriously. At the same time, it feels like it is real-life everyday faith and the story doesn’t come off as preachy. The characters are many and all of them are unique and it makes the story fun.” – Little Homeschool on the Prairie
“If you have a teen that enjoys a good mystery and is looking for some Christian reading, this is definitely one to check out. Be warned though… it DOES end on a cliffhanger!” – A Modern Day Fairytale
