Websters International has an established reputation for information-based consultancy and the origination of complex, often international, projects on behalf of major companies, including a reference joint-venture with The Economist; the conceptualization and creation of the first titles in DK’s Eyewitness Travel Guides; a highly acclaimed programme of wine and food books for Sainsbury’s; and, more recently, the commercial and creative implementation of a UK and international publishing business for Rodale Inc., the world’s largest healthy lifestyles publisher.

Websters’ background in reference publishing made it an ideal partner for Microsoft in the development of international editions of Encarta Encyclopedia, Atlas, Bookshelf and Autoroute.

With headquarters in London and close collaborators in Paris, Munich, Madrid, Milan and Seattle, and with contacts and access to resources in further key markets, Websters’ directors and senior staff are ideally placed to advise on all aspects — creative and commercial — of content-focussed businesses from project development to corporate establishment.
