Guy's 'What's Coming Up'

A bi-monthly(ish) lighthearted insight into the world of PII's publisher Guy Ullmann's latest going's on, together with updates about PII and details of ‘What's coming up‘ in each issue

Hi and welcome to my December 2023 WCU!

It's such a busy period at the moment, where I'm currently planning next year's media brochure & schedule, working on our final issue of the year, 3 brand new podcasts plus our latest Process Story, all whilst thinking about starting my pre-Christmas diet (which will never happen!) and planning my logistics over the festive period, so with less than 40  days until the big day, its all go!

 

It's been a reasonably quiet period since my last WCU with a few bits & pieces below and so for this issue I have made a very quick highlights video real, which I might start doing more of next year – let me know what you think!

 

My big news is that I do not need an operation on my knee injury hurrah!!! With some pretty intense physio and rehab, it should (in theory) heal by its own accord – here's hoping!

My highlight since the last issue was a short boys holiday with my cousin ‘Foxy' and good friend  ‘The Curly Farmer' (Foxy in relation to his red mullet and The Curly Farmer due to his curly locks and because he used to live on a farm – original eh!?)

 

So my sister decided to keep two of her cats kittens, with the possibility of mum taking one in the hope it will give poor pops a distraction and mum a bit more peace!


Trying to work, with them up to all kinds of mischief, makes the day very interesting!

 

 

Elsewhere, I attended my first Pompey game in a while, where we scored a 93 minute winner to remain top of the league and unbeaten now in 27 games! Dare I dream of promotion???

 

I also witnessed one of the most astonishing games I've ever seen at my adopted club and despite having a semi-broken leg, I have managed to hobble around on some great trekking days and one or two ‘dancing' evenings…!

 

My first video short summary – Eek!

 

Creative advertising

WCU August 2023

This advert I recently found makes a very good point and is very unforgettable.

 

 

Being digital-only we can include creative digital adverts in the issue and have an excellent video editor who can design and create eye-catching videos that will make you stand out.

 

 

In addition to being placed in the magazine, I would like to start a section on the website to include all digital adverts.

 

 

Below is a recent example our designer has made – get in touch to find out how we can turn your adverts into digital-masterpieces!
