Build the Best of Series in your market.
Best of Series appoints one publishing partner to develop and publish each city, country or industry edition. The partner leads the market locally, brings together the organisations and people shaping its progress, and delivers the edition with the support of an established international publishing platform.
We appoint partners for selected cities, countries and industries where the series is not yet established.
A market,
published together.
Each edition brings together the leaders, enterprises, institutions and ideas shaping a place. Through their participation, the book becomes a coordinated platform for presenting the market's progress, character and opportunity to audiences at home and abroad.
For participating organisations, it is a shared platform through which the market presents its capability and ambition. For the publishing partner, it is the opportunity to build an enduring local publishing property backed by an established global series.
It is one of the most substantial collective publishing efforts a market can undertake on its own behalf.
What you lead.
What we provide.
The division of responsibility is deliberate. We supply the publishing system. You lead the edition on the ground.

Who this
is for.
This opportunity is suited to established media, publishing, communications and business-development organisations, as well as experienced entrepreneurs with strong institutional relationships, commercial discipline and a respected standing in their market.
The right partner understands who is shaping the market, which institutions and enterprises are contributing to its progress, and how to bring them into one credible publication.
It is not a passive investment or a simple resale licence. The partner must be able to originate relationships, assemble the edition and lead the work locally.
Partners build the edition through participation packages, sponsorship, institutional partnerships and related publishing opportunities within the agreed market. The licence structure, revenue model and territory terms are discussed with shortlisted applicants.
One partner is appointed for each approved market. Exclusivity is subject to agreement, performance milestones and continued adherence to the Best of Series editorial and production standard.
