Essentially America

Phoenix International Publishing is a leading publisher of consumer travel and lifestyle publications, with offices in the USA and UK. The company can trace its roots back to 1980, and has been owned by Simon Todd since 2001. Phoenix International Publishing has evolved significantly during the last few years, and while there is still a major focus on international inbound travel to the USA and Canada from the UK and other international markets, the company also produces travel and lifestyle publications in the USA.

In addition to traditional publishing, the company has also become a leader in online digital publishing and interactive marketing, working with clients on a wide range of both small and large projects.

Our proven selective outsourcing structure enables us to determine the best possible partners for any job, on a cost-effective and scalable basis. Our chain of command is very short, and while we never profess to be the price leader, we often are because of our overall business efficiencies.

Essentially America is published quarterly, and is the UK's leading consumer magazine dedicated to travel and lifestyle in the USA and Canada. The editor is Mary Moore Mason, a widely respected and highly regarded award-winning journalist, who has been with the magazine since its inception.
Essentially America has won numerous travel writing awards, including the prestigious Travelex Award for the best travel feature in a UK magazine and the Visit USA UK Award for Excellence in the Specialist Magazine category.
