ADVERTISER’S CORNER BY KRISITAN NIELSEN
J
uly is always an interesting month for sales, there is both not a lot and a lot happening. This month we’re welcoming our 95th issue of the SubTel Forum magazine, that number still amazes me. This bi-monthly industry mouthpiece has positively exploded in both readership and scope since it was first published out of a bedroom office some 16 years ago. The same is true of this company. What began as a niche magazine has become the industry’s go-to source of free analysis and opinion. What an honor! In staying true to our readers, we have consistently reinvented ourselves to best meet your ever-growing expectations. This summer is no exception, we are hard at work developing the next big thing. With the supply industry becoming ever more blended, companies taking on new roles as owners have greater expectations, it’s come
time in our R&D cycle to reassess the way we collect and store data – specifically, the much-lauded Submarine Cable Database, which is source to so many of our publications. I am very pleased to announce that we are in the final stages of redesigning the very scope of the Database. Beginning with the Almanac, expect to see some very exciting new changes to the SubTel line-up, not the least of which is the sheer analytical capability of the STF Analytics products. In that spirit, we’re running a 25% discount on all new ads for the coming issue of the Almanac, set to release on 14 August. Purchase a space before 14 August for only $3,750, regularly $5,000. The space will run for 4 issues, one each quarter.
Loyally yours,
Kristian Nielsen Vice President
