1. Can I book my ads through MSG?

No. MSG is responsible for developing breakthrough strategy, creative execution and project management. You should book your ads through your day-to-day account representative.



2. How are stories for editorial special reports decided on?

Our special reports editor determines the story outline for each report.



3. Can I send you story ideas for special reports?

We appreciate any suggestions you have for our special reports editor and will pass them along to him. You can submit your suggestions here; however, please note that because of space restrictions and the need to ensure special reports are suitable for advertisers, we cannot guarantee that we will use them.

We generally require four to six weeks to publish a single-client sponsored report.
