Publishers Communication Group to represent University of California Press in Europe
Cambridge, MA USA - August 2007. Publishers Communication Group (PCG), the leading provider of research, sales and marketing services to scholarly and professional publishers, is pleased to announce that it has entered an agreement with the University of California Press to deliver European Sales Representation.
PCG will be providing a full-time, dedicated sales representative to UC Press, based in the United Kingdom and covering most of Europe. The agreement began at the start of July and covers the Press' own journals, along with those of the societies on behalf of which it publishes, including the American Anthropological Association's electronic collection of anthropological scholarship, AnthroSource. This official European presence for UC Press will deliver a more direct, personal level of contact with potential customers in this key market, ensuring greater exposure for their books, journals and digital content. PCG is currently recruiting for a representative.
Rebecca Simon, Associate Director, University of California Press and Director, Journals and Digital Publishing Division, describes the partnership: "We took great care in choosing a partner to act as an extension of our team and fit in with our global plan to expand access to our publications. PCG distinguished themselves early on with the credibility and expertise necessary to develop concrete sales, research, and marketing strategies, which recognize and address our needs. We are confident that PCG has the longevity, experience, market knowledge and connections essential to a successful partnership."
Douglas Wright, General Manager, PCG, comments, "PCG has been offering sales representation in Europe since 2001, and we are pleased to be able to satisfy the diverse needs of a major scholarly publisher such as University of California Press. We look forward to continuing our solid and prosperous relationship."
