"Our loyal readers now have access to stories on their work devices, and the digital platforms will also bring us new readers we've not touched before."
The publisher behind has been disruptive and unique, and offers industry readers and marketers compelling content as a basis for connecting with each other. Kandessa's CPM rates for marketers are held to $45 and below and its marketing and advertising programs within QSR are integrated between its two publications, Quick Serve Leader and Chain Pulse.
Co-branding opportunities are available for industry marketers as well. "We have the ability to replicate the brand impressions of companies during entire Chain Pulse readership sessions through our Channel Plus advertising program," notes Zambrano.
