About us
Raconteur Media is a special-interest media company and publisher of high quality special reports for some of the world's leading media brands. We also produce bespoke publications, industry surveys and digital publishing solutions such as microsites and tablet apps. We cover a vast range of pertinent topics; business, technology, sustainability, healthcare and lifestyle.
Raconteur Media is founded upon the principle of connecting the growing ranks of the mass intelligent with leading analysis and commentary on the important issues of the 21st century. Our expertise lie in producing focused publishing solutions. We passionately search for "information gaps" and marshal resources in order to create first-class products that seek to educate its audience and broaden their perspectives.
All our content is created without bias. Raconteur collates teams of leading journalists, academics, politicians and experts in their relevant fields for each project and briefs them to create content that maximises the value and experience to the readerâ€" not the sponsors or advertisers.
Raconteur Media is proud to have won and been shortlisted for several industry awards over the past three years - most notably as winner of "Young Entrepreneur of the Year" at the Startups Awards 2010 and as finalist in the New Brand category at the Marketing Society Awards 2011.
Surveys
As the world transitions to an inter-connected economy and hyper-competition becomes the norm, the business landscape is evolving faster than at any previous time in history. To stay on top of the latest developments, companies need the most accurate and timely analysis they can obtain.
In conjunction with our special reports desk, Raconteur produce leading industry surveys. Our market research provides relevant stakeholders with both quantitative and qualitative analysis from some of the best researchers and editors. Our aim is simple: to assist our readers in making smart decisions. Armed with the best insight available, they will be empowered to identify opportunities and understand risk within these hyper-competitive markets.
The surveys we produce are driven by a passion to unearth the most pertinent topics being considered by industry, supported by thorough questioning, deep analysis and extraordinary infographics. Many business decision-makers are time poor; we keep our surveys concise, informative and illustrative.
Special Reports
"Through the introduction of Raconteur special reports, we aim to offer a specialised outlet for topical and engaging content that acts as a valuable resource to the informed readership of The Times and The Sunday Times." Paul Hayes, Managing Director, News International Commercial
In a time where organisations are forced to change the way they go about their communication, our success illustrates that the significance of quality editorial content on topical issues has never been more important. Markets and trends change faster today than at any previous time. The explosion in internet communication means that messages are created and spread faster than ever before. That's why the role of curation and analysis is so important in today's media landscape.
Our award-winning content provides a comprehensive examination of some of today's most pertinent topics by a selection of industry leading journalists, academics, politicians and industry experts. This high premium content is set in an environment of incredible visuals: infographics, illustrations, images, and innovative design.
Successful brands today are aware that they can't force messages upon their audience. It is more beneficial to organisations if a respected publisher communicates the key messages of an industry or topic â€" as it engages the recipients of that message much better compared to when the companies themselves communicate these issues.
Digital
Raconteur has three main platforms that power its digital publishing solutions supported by our premium editorial content: theraconteur.co.uk, raconteuronthetimes.co.uk and tablet Apps.
These digital platforms offer additional support to Raconteur's exclusive print partnership with News International, delivering timely content in unique and engaging formats.
We have the capabilities to generate proprietary microsites for the purposes of client campaigns and market surveys. These capitalise on the reach and engagement of our platforms and Raconteur support their clients through each step of the development processing creating genuine, sustained, value.
Careers
We've already hired some of the most experienced media pioneers but we're growing fast, and we need more one-of-a-kind people to help us change the status quo in the publishing industry.

Custom
Raconteur specialise in producing information rich content. It is our primary objective and our bread and butter. This is at odds with the industry as a whole whose expertise lie outside of premium content creation and specialise in general terms across the production of media.
Our custom publishing platform enables clients to govern the entire process of a project, from editorial direction to design options, and have it entirely tailored to their communication needs into a definitive published print and/or online report.
This publishing arm of Raconteur offers clients, whatever their choice, dedicated editorial and design teams to work collaboratively with them throughout the process, right up until completion.
