SUBMARINE TELECOMS FORUM
ADVERTISER’S CORNER BY KRISITAN NIELSEN
H
ello readers, and Happy New Year! You’ve probably noticed a few changes with SubTel Forum lately, for starters a new website and format to the magazine. Recapping my words from last issue, we’re rolling out a brand-new look and feel for 2017. The changes are wide sweeping, you’ll notice that the 2017 Wall Map is bigger and easier to read, the Magazine has a new size format, making the content more readable, and the website is now streamlined for easier access to our publications. Last issue, I laid out our vision for the future of SubTel Forum: we’re creating specialized departments with their own unique websites to better present our publications to you, our readers. For instance, when reading up on old issues of the Magazine, our typical user isn’t interested in tripping over advertising pricing and such.

In trying to simplify the user experience, we realized that we’re no longer just a humble magazine publishing company, that also has a handful of other publications. We’ve grown into a full-blown news media publisher that spans print, digital and video mediums. With that thought driving our plan for the next 15 years, I am very proud to present you the new face of SubTel Forum! We are rolling out new formats and websites over the next few weeks, please stay tuned for the latest updates and releases from our great minds in the design department. Loyally yours,
