We're featured in the Book Marketing Society awards! 🙌 The Book Marketing Society hosted their awards for Q2 marketing campaigns last night where they celebrate the best marketing campaigns across the publishing industry. We're thrilled that our Sourcebooks title 'The Housemaid is Watching' has been highly commended in the #BTSAwards in Adult Non-Fiction, for a campaign run by Mattea Barnes! https://lnkd.in/eb3f8-mc The Bookseller

Friday insights 💡 in the publishing world: New research from The Reading Agency, one of our community literacy partners, reveals a concerning trend: only 50% of UK adults read regularly for pleasure, down from 58% in 2015. As publishers, we know the value of continuous learning. Reading not only enhances our knowledge but also improves our well-being and even our earning potential. This summer, let's #RebootReading in our workplaces. Encourage your team to take reading breaks, start a company book club, or share your favourite business books. Together, we can foster a culture of reading that benefits individuals and organisations alike. https://lnkd.in/et_G95Fq

Say hello to our Encyclopedia Exhibition! 🖼 📚 Last month, our China team orchestrated our 50th Anniversary Nature Encyclopedia Exhibition in Beijing. We have partnered with CITIC Press Corporation - who publish our iconic Anthology Series, How Everything Works and the Explanatoriums among others. It will run for 3 months and the plan is to tour other cities in China in the future. The exhibition is an interactive experience based on content from the Anthology series introducing children to the amazing world of nature and science, including a VR trip through the solar system and a DK book or merchandise in the exhibition shop.  #publishing #exhibition #knowledge #adventure #anniversary

Saying hello to colleagues around the world has always been important to us 🤝 🌍 Our CEO Paul Kelly's day-long visit to the Delhi office last month was packed with some good conversations and significant announcements. With both the UK and India teams moving offices this summer and lots of exciting books to announce, this was a great opportunity for us to get together and discuss plans for 2025 and beyond. #stayconnected #global #publishing #reconnecting

We recently revealed more on the new Ultimate Guide to Warhammer 40,000 from the legendary DK books, with gorgeous new spreads celebrating our miniatures and worlds. Written by Guy Haley and Gav Thorpe, it's looking fantastic. https://lnkd.in/dCn-krP8 Games Workshop Ltd DK #warhammer #licensing

What if our scraps were used to make something wonderful? 📖 🎨 ✂ Our Sustainability Committee headed down to Work and Play Scrapstore this month to do just that. By inspiring upcycling in the local community, this charity is leading the way in creative approaches to waste reduction, and helping the local community and the environment at the same time. We are in constant conversation about how to reduce our waste, particularly the paper and cardboard sued to make our books. Perhaps this adds another string to our bow... #upcycling #sustainable #repurposing #crafts #publishing #books Becca Arlington Emma Jackson Rachel Hughes Maria Hademer

We're proud to partner with DK to sponsor the Family-Friendly Space (FFS) program, led by the Ethical Supply Chain Program (ESCP). Together with DK, we've given over 1,500 children an innovative book. This initiative promotes child-friendly employment, supporting parents by removing the burden of childcare. On July 15th, our Leonians' children received the book and played with it happily. We're thrilled to witness their joy and remain committed to creating a nurturing environment for children. Thank you, DK, for your support. Let's continue championing child-friendly practices for a brighter future!   #FamilyFriendlySpace #EthicalSupplyChainProgram #ChildFriendlyEmployment #SocialResponsibility #DK #LeoPaperGroup
