It’s our great pleasure to announce that dsb.net has won the award for ‘Industry Partner of the Year’ at the PPA Independent Publisher Awards. The PPA declared, “The judges were very impressed with how dsb.net used innovation in technology and a focus on sustainability to show tangible evidence that they are providing real value to independent publishers, thus surpassing client expectations with a true partnerships approach”.
Extract from Renee Doegar, Commercial Director at the London Review of Books’ testimonial -
“There are many aspects of working with dsb.net that make us feel incredibly fortunate to call them not a supplier, but a true partner. First of all, being an independent publisher (and therefore not one of the “big players”) we might sometimes get a bit ignored by large industry suppliers, but our relationship with dsb.net has always made them feel more like an extension of our team. Regular fruitful meetings with DSB bring innovation and ideas, and we are often left fully abreast of their company developments and opportunities for us. New projects on the horizon are offered, so we feel that we are learning from our industry peers via dsb.net and bringing innovation and ingenuity to our subscriptions business through them. This makes the relationship even more valuable for us".
Congratulations to everyone involved at dsb.net, a real team effort!
