VIDEO: Fluid Group's Emily Jones

HONG KONG - Emily Jones, publisher at Fluid Group, said the custom publishing industry is largely moving from strictly print to offering a more complete communications strategy that includes branding and digital initiatives.

Off-camera, Jones noted that retailers are among the industry’s biggest clients because custom publishing is viewed as a sales driver. The movement has helped the industry expand in Asia, which had traditionally trailed behind the West.

In terms of trends, she said mobile has become a key platform for clients, and publishers are more frequently asked to create applications for the iPhone.
