Agency website
One-eyed Jack
One-eyed Jack is a PR, design and events agency. Lumanaire built its complete website, including its portfolio and case studies.
Built for One-eyed Jack,
for their client Exclusive Books.
Every month’s books, ready for the press.
We built the Exclusive Books Media Hub for One-eyed Jack, the PR, design and events agency. Each month it opens on the new Exclusive Books Recommends, with covers any newsroom can download, review copies for signed-in media and a report for Exclusive Books.

Everything we built, in the order a month runs.
From the day a new edition goes up to the report Exclusive Books gets at the end of the month. Tap a stage to jump to it.
A new month
A new edition, every month.
Each month Exclusive Books picks the books its booksellers recommend. The hub opens on that month, with every title on its shelf, the month’s campaign material on its own tab and past months a tap away.
Recommends and a campaign
The Recommends list, with the month’s campaign material on its own tab.
Past months stay open
October back to June, one tap each.
A picture for every link
The month’s link shows its own preview image when it is shared on WhatsApp or social media.
The same drop each month
Titles, covers and review copy stock go in the same way every month.
The October link preview, and the month’s selection on a phone.
Open to all media
Covers any newsroom can use, with no sign-in.
The Cover Library holds every title in the month’s Recommends in high resolution, cleared for media use. A journalist takes one cover, or the whole set in one go.
One cover or the full set
A hi-res pack and a web pack, or any single cover in either size.
Sorted by shelf
Fiction and non-fiction, young adult and teen, and three age groups for children.
Counted, not tracked
Downloads are counted for Exclusive Books without recording who made them.
Easy on a phone
Downloads work as well on a phone as at a desk.
Media arrive
Invited by name, signed in by code.
One-eyed Jack invites journalists and content creators from the admin. Each invitation carries a personal link that signs them straight in. Anyone else signs in with a six-digit code sent to their email.
Personal invitations
Created, resent or withdrawn in the admin, each with its date.
No passwords
A six-digit code by email, for media and content creators only.
In Exclusive Books’ name
Invitations come from an Exclusive Books sender, in the wording One-eyed Jack signed off.
Switched off at once
Turn a media user off and their downloads stop working straight away.
Media ask
Review copies, first come, first served.
Signed-in media ask for review copies of the month’s titles, and every title shows how many copies are left. Files that need permission go through a request, and One-eyed Jack approves each one.
Copies that count down
Each title shows the review copies left. When they are gone, it says so.
A declined request frees its copy
If a request is declined, the copy goes back for the next person.
Open with the month
Requests open with the new edition, and earlier months close.
Files on approval
A journalist asks for a file, One-eyed Jack approves it, and a download link arrives by email.
Links that expire
An approved link works once and expires after seven days.
Every request in one list
One-eyed Jack sees each month’s requests together, with the month’s report a click away.
Month end
Exclusive Books sees how the month went.
At month end the review copy list goes by email to the person at Exclusive Books who packs the books. Exclusive Books also has its own read-only view and a report on its own hub address.
The packing list, by email
The month’s review copy requests as a table and a spreadsheet, ready to pack.
A report on their own address
The review copy report sits on the Exclusive Books hub address, in the hub’s look, signed off Powered by One-eyed Jack.
Read-only by design
Built so Exclusive Books can sign in and see the numbers without being able to change a thing.
The numbers that matter
Media sign-ups and logins, invitations sent and accepted, editions, requests and replies.
Cover Library stats
A stats page shows Exclusive Books how the covers are used, with no names attached.
Any month, any time
Pick a month and its requests, list and report come up for that month.
Behind it all
One admin for every One-eyed Jack client.
The Exclusive Books hub runs on the media hub platform we built for One-eyed Jack, which also runs the BYD Media Hub. One admin, a client picker at the top, and each client’s data kept to itself.
A client picker
Pick a client and editions, media users, requests, invitations, events and campaigns all filter to it.
Each client kept apart
Contacts, tags, audiences, emails and activity stay with their own client.
Every email on record
Invitations and login codes are labelled in the email log.
Events built in
Invitations, RSVPs, reminders and check-in at the door, on the same engine as One-eyed Jack’s other hubs.
A monthly drop with a check
Covers, titles and stock go live the same way each month, and a check confirms the live hub afterwards.
Their brand, front and centre
Exclusive Books and One-eyed Jack on every page, produced by One-eyed Jack.
Live since June 2026. A new edition every month since, from June to October.
