14:20 → 14:25 Cern Courier / Physics World Advertisment

Dear Mr Joram, Following up on the conversation we have just had over the phone, I am sending you some information on the advertising opportunities on Cern Courier and Physics World. As I was saying, the next available issue of Cern Courier is the July/August joing issue appearing on 9th July. Booking deadline for it is 27th June. The advert as it currently stands will be best accommodated on a 9x2 advert size. The normal rate for this size is 1,548 Euro in mono and 1,710 in full colours. As I was saying CERN receives 50% off any print advert, which means your advert will cost 774 Euro or 855 Euro in colour. The position you are looking to fill in is also relevant for Physics World, the other scientific publication I look after. Physics World is the flagship publication of the Institute of Physics with an international readership of 110.000 split equally between the industry and the academic world. It is sent to all the member of the Institute of Physics, 18.000 of which are students of a physics and engineering related area. You would therefore benefit from a wider exposure within your area of interest. The next available issue of Physics World is the July issue, appearing on 30th June. Booking deadline is 20th June. If you wish to book an advert also on Physics World I can offer you 60% discount on it, which will bring your cost down to 619 Euro in mono and 684 Euro for the colour version. Your print announcement will be complemented by: - free web exposure on physicsworld.com - free web exposure on cerncourier.com - free inclusion in our jobswire to reach the 14.000 subscribers of our notify service Please don't hesitate to contact me should you need further information.
