Description

Sight & Sound requires retail distribution services to both the UK and international markets. The bulk of the magazine's retail supply is currently distributed by Seymour Distribution Ltd under contract via a third party consultant (i-can Publisher Services). In this tender process we welcome applications from consultants, agencies or directly from the distributor themselves.

Having recently redesigned and relaunched the magazine to a hugely positive response from industry and readers, we are seeking a distribution partner that is the best fit for the efficient management of the magazine's retail sales as well as providing the best opportunities for growing the magazine's business.

Contract duration: 2 years with the option to extend for two periods of one year, subject to performance.
