	September 2009

		Spring might not officially be here yet, and invariably there will still be a cold snap or two – but it is definitely on its way! Hooray, at UCM we’re all about saying goodbye to this winter asap!

There are loads of UCM, heat and FHM events coming up – so be sure to put them into your diary. To kick off the party season, we hosted the inaugural UCM Pub Quiz in Cape Town a few weeks back and it turned out to be more fun than we ever imagined! We received a number of emails thanking us for the event from industry people who were able to come, and some who weren’t there, begging to be included next time! Cape Town can sometimes be a hard place for us Jozi guys to crack, so this event was particularly satisfying. We can’t wait for the next UCM Pub Quiz to be hosted later in September in Jozi Town. Be sure not to miss out!

There are also some great ad packages, such as FHM’s 10th Birthday Special and heat’s famous double issues, big property sponsorships, like heat Hot 100 and FHM Calendar 2010 as well as a plethora of customised bespoke campaign ideas we would love to share with you!

Oh and if, for whatever reason you can’t make any of our upcoming events, don’t forget to follow us on twitter.com/ucmsouthafrica!






Not to be outdone by the winners of the FHM Style and Grooming Awards, the FHM models are always a force to be reckoned with.

		Heat Hair and Beauty Awards 2009 We thought spring would never come, but just a few more sleeps and it’s official! To celebrate the end of winter, we’re burning up the pages of next week’s issue with the hottest shoot in heat’s history. It stars the winner of the first-ever heat Man Watch poll…and his ripped torso! He’ll also be adding a bit of man candy as the special guest at the heat Hair & Beauty Awards next Friday in Jozi.
