Celebrating 70 years of publishing, DJ Murphy is thrilled to have been shortlisted for Independent Publishing Company of the Year at the prestigious PPA Independent Publisher Awards held next month.

With a portfolio that includes children’s titles Pony, SuperZings and L.O.L. Surprise!, DJM’s achievements have been recognised as judges looked for a company that demonstrates excellence in its market.

The children’s publisher has successfully secured new licences and launched titles into both the boys and girls sub sector, remained focused on the needs of consumers, developed successful brand extensions to enhance audience engagement and grown market share in a competitive market.
