Advertising revenue and paging in DEPARTURES' July/August issue climbed 43
percent and 53 percent, respectively, versus the same issue last year, it was
announced today by Steven DeLuca, senior vice president and publisher of
DEPARTURES. These gains make this issue the largest July/August issue in the
magazine’s nearly 25-year history. DEPARTURES, published exclusively for
Platinum Card® and Centurion® members of American Express, is up 22 percent in
advertising revenue and 19 percent in paging year-to-date compared to January
through July 2012, driven by growth in the core watch, jewelry, and luxury
travel categories.
