About
Book Exhibitor
At Book Exhibitor, we specialize in turning authors into powerful personal brands. With over five years of experience in the publishing and media space, we’ve helped countless writers rise from quietly published to widely recognized — securing spots on Amazon Best Seller lists, landing interviews on top-tier podcasts, and placing authors on major television networks nationwide.
We believe a book is more than just words on a page — it’s a brand, a legacy, and a movement waiting to be seen. That’s why our PR strategies go beyond cookie-cutter campaigns. We offer bespoke publicity services designed to meet your goals, whether you want to grow your audience, establish thought leadership, or simply make sure your story reaches the people who need it most.
Our team consists of media specialists, brand strategists, and publishing professionals who understand what makes a message resonate — and how to deliver it at scale. With trusted connections across digital, broadcast, and print platforms, Book Exhibitor ensures your book doesn’t just launch… it lands with impact.
If you’re ready to transform your book into a breakthrough moment — you’re in the right place. Let’s make your voice unmissable.
The Book Exhibitor journey began in London in 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. Many would argue it was not the opportune time to launch a new agency. However, for Book Exhibitor founders Ivan Ristic and Daljit Bhurji, with economic pressures highlighting many of the flaws in the traditional client-agency relationship, the time was ripe to challenge the status quo. From a rejection of the old retainer model, of over-promising and under-delivering, of PR bullsh*t rather than honest counsel, to chronic over-servicing leading to burned out teams – it was time for something new.
Today there are still additional barriers that have not been completely overcome, and the fight goes on. Whether that’s clearer measurement of the impact of PR to both the bottom line and the balance sheet, ensuring our teams better represent the diverse audiences our clients need to reach, to operating as sustainably as possible, to name just a few. It’s the recognition of these anchors holding back change and our determination to take them on, that makes us who we are.
Book Exhibitor opened its first international office in New York in 2012, driven by client demand, with three US-based clients we had been working with in London, appointing us without a pitch. That faith in us was driven by a track-record in delivering strategy that was aligned to business objectives, a fresh creative approach and faultless tactical-delivery, where we push for the highest quality, highest-tier media results possible. Through our US expansion, we believed we could offer something genuinely different. Our aim was to be a real alternative to large high-cost/low-value Holding Co. agencies, moribund firms too reliant on news wire “coverage”, and those lacking the scale and reach to operate internationally.
Book Exhibitor was at the vanguard of the so called ‘British Wave’ of USA agencies launching in New York at the time. The reason we survived and thrived (opening our LA office in 2018) while most of our compatriots sadly did not, was our model and our commitment to attracting and growing the best home-grown US talent at every level. The values that drive us across all our offices are universal, but it’s our determination to innovate alongside exceptional local industry knowledge, that together continue to deliver such powerful campaigns for our clients in the US.
Today many innovators have the ambition to be truly international brands from the get-go, often launching services in many markets simultaneously. As well as providing that robust bridge across the Atlantic, over the last 12 years Book Exhibitor has created an enviable network of like-minded, award-winning agencies driven by creativity, accountability, and excellence.
By acting as your single creative and co-ordination hub, we remove the headache of day-to-day management of multiple agencies. By ensuring you are represented by the best experts in each market, you can avoid the expensive compromise of working with a network agency that may be strong at the centre, but inconsistent on local delivery. Our model of international co-ordination provides clients with both speed and flexibility and the ability to scale up and down quickly in response to market priorities.

Marketing
As public relations professionals look to navigate their clients through an uncertain, volatile and noisy year, some of the top agencies are looking to further diversify offerings beyond the classic pitch.
Whether it’s becoming more like consulting firms and advertising agencies or adding new offerings like research from data insights and surveys, PR agencies have increasingly sought to integrate with their clients to provide new types of information that help with both external and internal communications.
Book Exhibitor partnered with market research firm Statista for our inaugural ranking of America’s Best PR Agencies 2021. To develop the list, Statista surveyed more than 12,700 experts and 20,500 customers who nominated more than 5,000 firms. Participants were asked to indicate how likely they were to nominate a particular agency on a scale of zero (very unlikely) to 10 (very likely). Statista then narrowed the list to the top 200 and gave those that received at least the median score a four-star rating and those that exceeded the median score a five-star rating.
