Congratulations to UP HERE magazine for having the courage to try something sure to generate controversy and free publicity.

Rule #6:    Be Controversial
Rule #20:  Be Sexy

By taking a page out of the Sports Illustrated play book, and making it their own, UP HERE has succeeded in getting national media coverage.

Editor, Aaron Sptizer, predicts that this cover will shatter the 26-year old magazine’s record for best-selling cover ever.  I suspect he is probably right.

UP HERE was recently named Magazine of the Year (arguably the most prestigious award bestowed by the publishing industry) on this outstanding regional magazine.
