2011 saw the launch of new global magazine Southern Innovator (SI). The magazine's next four issues followed in 2012, 2013 and 2014. This groundbreaking magazine packed a big punch for its small size (just 60 pages) and helped launch a global revolution in innovation and innovator awareness. An ad promoting the magazine's second issue is above.
