Finally, on May 9th, the target was Saveur, the most important culinary themed magazine in the United States, with a circulation of over 300 thousand. A five-course dinner took center stage and made quite an impression on the magazine’s editorial team.
As mentioned before, besides the events there were direct interviews with media representatives specializing in general information, tourism, weddings, gastronomy, wine, and the Hispanic market in the United States, as well as freelancers.
The team had contact with around 30 different media in total. Other standout interviews included time with Departures (circ. 1,111,423), Vogue (circ. 1,222,373), New York Daily News (circ. 516,165) and Latina Magazine (circ. 506,934).
