I’ve recovered from the all the holiday weekend festivities, which included a BBQ, recreation and the annual Carnival parade and street fair that kicked off the summer season here in San Francisco. Even our classic foggy weather couldn’t stop the spirit of the samba dancers, bateria drummers and calypso bands that made their way through the streets generating the heat and staying warm in feather boas and glitter.

If you can’t make the trip to Rio, I highly recommend coming to SF for the next best thing.Since we are riffing on a Latino theme this week be sure to look for the May/June issue which will be distributed at the these upcoming conferences in Miami: Search Engine Strategies Latino; Ad:Tech and Affiliate Summit East. You can get all the dates and registration details on our events calendar. Otherwise, we are allocating the final ad placements in the upcoming July/August issue of Revenue and still have ad inventory available.

Please contact our ad sales team this week to take advantage of some great month-end offers. The magazine ad creative deadline is coming up on June 8. We are currently sold out of banner ad placements in the upcoming June e-mail newsletter, which is scheduled to launch next week on June 6. If you would like to secure a banner ad in the July newsletter please follow up to confirm availability.

For those who turn to the spirit of Carnival for their marketing inspiration, please give me a shout and I’ll share some of my latest videos live and direct from the streets of San Francisco.
