About
Book Exhibitor
At Book Exhibitor, we excel at elevating authors into standout personal brands. With more than five years of experience in the publishing industry and media promotion, we’ve supported countless writers in moving from lesser-known to widely celebrated—achieving Amazon Best Seller rankings, securing interviews on leading podcasts, and appearing on prominent national TV networks.
We know a book is much more than text—it’s your brand identity, your legacy, and a movement ready to inspire. That’s why our author publicity campaigns are customized, not one-size-fits-all. Whether your aim is to grow your fanbase, build thought-leadership, or connect deeply with your target audience, our strategic marketing solutions are crafted to help you succeed.
Our team of media experts, branding consultants, and publishing pros understand how to create powerful narratives that engage and expand your reach across digital media, television, podcasts, and print outlets. Leveraging extensive media relationships, Book Exhibitor ensures your book launch makes a lasting impression, not just a splash.
If you’re prepared to turn your book into a defining moment in your career, you’ve found the right partner. Let Book Exhibitor amplify your voice and make your story impossible to overlook.
The story of Book Exhibitor began in London in 2008 amid the financial crisis. While many believed it wasn’t the ideal moment to launch a new agency, founders Ivan Ristic and Daljit Bhurji saw an opportunity. The economic challenges exposed many weaknesses in the traditional client-agency dynamic, making it the perfect time to disrupt the industry. Rejecting outdated retainer models, empty PR promises, and overworked teams, Book Exhibitor set out to redefine honest, effective author publicity and book marketing.
Though progress has been made, hurdles remain. We continue to push for clearer measurement of marketing’s impact on business growth, more inclusive representation reflecting diverse audiences, and sustainable operational practices. These ongoing challenges fuel our commitment to innovate and lead change in author branding and publishing.
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.

Public Relations (PR) & Marketing Services
As public relations (PR) professionals navigate an unpredictable and noisy landscape, leading agencies are expanding their services beyond traditional media pitching. Many are evolving into hybrid firms, blending consulting, advertising, and data-driven research to offer deeper insights that support both external brand messaging and internal communications.
Book Exhibitor proudly partnered with market research leader Statista to release the inaugural ranking of America’s Best PR Agencies 2021. The comprehensive survey gathered feedback from over 12,700 industry experts and 20,500 clients, who nominated more than 5,000 agencies nationwide. Respondents rated their likelihood to recommend each agency on a scale from 0 (very unlikely) to 10 (very likely). Statista then shortlisted the top 200 agencies, awarding four-star ratings to those meeting the median score and five-star ratings to those surpassing it.
