Best-in-class for academic publishers.

Who we are

Founded in 2003, the Mare Nostrum Group (MNG) is an experienced, full-service print and digital publishing company providing distribution, sales, marketing, data management, recruitment, and consultancy services to academic, professional, and society publishers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Based in the UK with registered offices in Harrogate, London, and Amsterdam, with an in-house team of over 50 employees, we provide a fully collaborative service which complements and extends the work of our client publishers.

Over the past 5 years MNG has restructured teams across the business to effectively accommodate our expanded list of clients and to continue to provide the tailored, comprehensive service we are renowned for. We have made significant investments in our systems and hired extensively to create two large marketing, sales, and client management divisions—Academic & Professional and Higher Education. Our highly respected university press group sits alongside the Scientific, Technical, and Medical, and Social Science groups in the Academic and Professional Division and our Higher Education Division caters for the print and digital direct sales and marketing requirements of textbook publishers.  Mare Nostrum Group now provides its suite of services to over 100 prestigious academic, professional, and society publisher clients and is widely considered to be the pre-eminent academic publishing marketing and sales agency, outside of North America.
