September 11, 2024

LONDON, UK (September 11, 2024) - Ingram Publisher Services ® UK (“IPS UK”), an Ingram Content Group UK Ltd. brand, has added Authentic Media for distribution services beginning October 1, 2024. Authentic Media, a distinguished publisher renowned for its commitment to high-quality Christian literature, will leverage IPS UK’s extensive distribution network, innovative technology, and industry expertise to reach a wider audience and expand its market presence while further solidifying IPS UK's growing support for the Christian publishing sector.

“We’re delighted to welcome Authentic Media,” said Matthew Dickie-Cross, Senior Manager at IPS UK. “This exciting partnership aligns perfectly with our goal to expand our footprint in Christian publishing. Ingram has already established a successful relationship with Authentic Media through Lightning Source, and we're pleased to further support their growth and success here at IPS UK.”

Donna Harris, General Manager at Authentic Media, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating: “We’re absolutely thrilled to find a new home for distribution at IPS UK. The team's efficiency, care and dedication during onboarding has been impressive. This collaboration not only provides us with a robust distribution partner, but also sets the stage for substantial expansion. We look forward to reaching new audiences and further advancing our mission together.”

IPS UK's innovative Virtual Stock program uniquely consolidates print-on-demand titles with physical stock in its Milton Keynes distribution center, providing distribution clients with increased availability and industry-leading efficiency at a reduced cost. As an existing Lightning Source client, Authentic Media will seamlessly transition into this innovative program.

“At IPS UK, our mission is to empower independent publishers like Authentic Media to thrive in today’s competitive marketplace. This partnership is a testament to that,” explained Dickie-Cross. “Adding Authentic Media to our network is a significant milestone in a year of unprecedented growth, and we’re confident that together we’ll create exciting opportunities in both businesses in the years to come.”
