In the Beginning was the word...
In Loving Memory of
James Thomas Edward Cook
10 August, 1982 - 8 August, 2013
In 2012, Samuel P.N. Cook founded a marketing agency to create the future of digital publishing.
James Cook (Sam's brother) was a composer and renaissance man.
He was the first to join the team.
The sons of two teachers, Samuel and James had wide-ranging interests in history, science, film, and music.
Their conviction was strong. Ideas change the course of history.
We learn ideas through teachers. Teachers change lives.
They dreamed of creating a future online where teachers can reach their students and inspire them to believe in better stories and change the world.
Great teachers who can change lives should never have to 'sell' themselves online.
Their message should speak for itself. No manipulation are tricks are necessary.
Inspiration is far more powerful than manipulation.
The future of publishing lies in harnessing the power of every form of digital media to inspire your audience to believe they can live a better future.
Through film, music, and the written word, they dreamed of creating a powerful platform to help experts change their lives.
On 8 August 2013, 2 days before his 32nd birthday James Cook tragically passed away expectedly.
In honor of his brother, Sam has named his company James Cook Media.
James Cook Media helps the authors and experts to connect with their audience by telling powerful stories through the word, film & music.

3S System - High Ticket Launch Formula
After covid happened, we were constantly looking for a new approaches for experts, authors, coaches and consultants to quikly launch and scale their businesses online. And in the beginning of 2021, we've discovered the Top-Down Strategy that starts from selling high-ticket offers first… that allows to validate the core offer, refine the message and story, make your product better and THEN scale the business with mid-ticket and low-ticket offers going after bigger markets. That’s what we’ve found works best for Experts, Coaches, Consultants, and Course Creators.
3S System - Mini Launch Formula
In early 2022, we've found another way for more established experts, coaches and course creators to quickly get paying customers without paying for ads from their own pocket that allows to get paid in advance for knowledge and expertise without waiting time & money on outdated marketing techniques.
