InfluentialAI acquires The British Publishing Company: A new era in AI media, publishing and events, with over 100 Years of legacy and expertise
The British Publishing Company, established around 1925, has a distinguished 100-year history rooted in the heart of the publishing world. Originally founded by a collective of local publishing interests, it gained recognition for producing church history guides. Over time, the company expanded its reach, publishing over 600 titles in this specialised field. Its impact continued to grow as it began publishing official guidebooks for local authorities and later, ventured into international development through its Trade Route and BusinessLead publications.
Fast forward to January 2025, and the British Publishing Company enters a new chapter with the advent of Artificial Intelligence.
InfluentialAI, an ambitious start-up focused on the convergence of publishing, technology, and artificial intelligence, acquired the company’s archives, products, and brand. We are excited to carry forward The British Publishing Company’s legacy while transforming it through the cutting-edge capabilities of AI and big data.
At InfluentialAI, our team consists of full-time reporters, data journalism specialists, researchers, editors, big data, tech and AI experts, all at the forefront of AI technology. The joint team’s collective experience spans investigative reporting with top-tier organisations like The Times, Financial Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, and Time Magazine. Together, with unparalleled expertise in IT, big data, and AI, with a clear vision of how these innovations can revolutionise traditional publishing and events.
Rather than seeking to completely overhaul the industry, we focus on using AI to enhance creativity and streamline the production of high-quality content, digital campaigns, publications, and events. Our mission is simple: to connect our clients to key influencers and powerbrokers within their respective sectors.
We excel in developing experimental campaigns designed to inspire audience engagement, whether through products, services, or compelling messages around specific issues.
