As we tick down to the end of 2012, it is easy to let the mind wander through the highs and lows of the past year.  The biggest event for us was our rebranding from Wasabi Media Group to PeKu Publications.  Although our format for publishing didn’t change, nor did any major piece of our structure, the new name has helped to identify us more concisely.

In 2012 we also saw the formation of new partnerships and the addition of new features.  Some of these include our newest monthly column, Ask the Dog Teacher (Feathers Fins and Fur), and our newest biweekly column, the Bridal Specialist (Here Comes a Bride).  We also added some finesses to our editorial calendar with the addition of a monthly travel destination (Good Life Review), health observance (Health Eagle), and featured artist (Tunes News).

In addition to changes, we also saw continued growth as the number of readers continued to increase.  We now have approximately three million readers joining us every month.  I am certain that the excellent work of our writers and editors is what brings and retains our audience.  Of course, the diligent work of our designer and engineer shouldn’t be ignored, for they make all of the well-crafted words display well.

I thank you for joining us in 2012 and look forward to an exciting 2013.  Happy New Year to all!
