March 2010

Payday has eventually arrived and I think we are all happy to see the back of what might be the shortest month of the year – although February always feels like the longest!

March is the end of our financial year and sticking to the UCM tradition, we’ll again be hosting the annual UCM Advertising Roadshows in Cape Town (05 March), Durban (11 March) and Johannesburg (12 March). So much is constantly changing in our industry and we would love to update you on developments from a UCM perspective and thank-you for your ongoing support for FHM and heat. Be sure to book your seat with us.

It’s FHM 100 Sexiest time again and votes are already streaming in. There are still fabulous ad opportunities to be had, so please speak to the FHM sales execs to avoid disappointment. We’ve also put together a lucrative heat Easter package – book now to ensure you aren’t a “hot cross bunny”.
