How we work

We could bamboozle you with web clips of our offices, our teams in action, and even our esoteric pastimes like some
of our contemporaries, but we'd rather just tell you about
our ethos and invite you to meet us to discover a bit more.
Here are our basic tenets of publishing, PSP Rare style.

We don't... We do... (click to find out more)

Create cookie-cutter magazines

Think long and hard about the big idea that's going to turn your brand into one that has resonance and meaning with your target audience.

Spend loads of dosh on fancy offices, chief bottle washers and swanky presentations

Our main office is nestled nicely in the heart of Clerkenwell, with satellite offices in Manchester and Bristol. We have a streamlined, but unmatchable team of creatives that bring original ideas to fruition. We also know the hidden gems to dine out at in our neck of the woods, and we'd love to share all of these things with you.

Act like nodding dogs, even when we think you're barking up the wrong tree

Tell you if we think there's a more effective approach. While it's your magazine, we hope you'll let us guide you with our expertise.

Send your work by courier or email

Use a unique 24/7 virtual system to traffic layouts, your feedback and ensure your magazine's assets are all in one place.

Hit you with hidden charges when the game play changes

Act flexibly, creating solutions to meet the challenges as they unfold. And agree all charges up front.

Treat your project like any other

Get passionate about your goals and make them our own to ensure that your magazine hits the spot, every issue.

Deliver the 'same old stuff'

Create 'the brand in the hand'.

The e-files

PSP Rare's radical use of technology enables us to provide a seamless, cost-effective and highly efficient
publishing model.

From a project's outset, we create a secure, virtual server that allows us to traffic information and workflow between us and our clients. From schedules and flatplans, to content and design, all aspects of a magazine or website are held in one central location that is available for viewing 24/7.

Why do we do this? Because we know that the reality for many of our clients, like ourselves, is that they are just as likely to be working from the office, as from home or en route. If you've ever sat waiting for a late courier to deliver before you can get on the road, or if you've ever had to master the complexities of FedEx, then you'll appreciate the beauty of a system that requires no more than an internet connection to oversee your project.

Once pages are uploaded, our clients are able to mark up PDFs remotely, providing instructions to our team to progress the project quickly and efficiently.

Clients can access back issues and individual digital assets at any time, providing an invaluable archive of materials for cost-effective repurposing.

The beauty of the system is in its simplicity. We'd love to show you how it works, so please contact us for
