Time Inc Asia's ITU "Roam Go!" programme has raked in advertising
revenue of more than USdollars 3 million for Time Asia, Asiaweek and
Fortune Asia magazines. Timed to coincide with the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecom Asia 2000 show in Hong Kong
earlier this month, Roam Go! was a comprehensive programme that
integrated print and online advertising to provide a unique environment
for advertisers targeting decision-makers in the telecom industry.
Individually, Time Asia's November 27 edition grossed more than
USdollars 2 million and was No.3 in terms of revenue for the title this
year. "These high revenue figures are a true vote of confidence from our
advertisers on a subject that has become one of the region's biggest
stories," said Mr Andrew Butcher, publisher of Time Asia and Fortune
Asia. The ITU package attracted five overall sponsors, who joined the
complete Roam Go! Programme: Canon, NTT DoCoMo, Ericsson, Intel and
Wherever.net.
