Advertise in The Footnote
A magazine for MNCPA members


About The Footnote

Footnote coversIn its 70+ years, The Footnote has evolved from a well-read newsletter to the highly respected feature-driven member magazine of the Minnesota Society of CPAs.

Content is focused on information important to the success of CPAs and their businesses.  Many businesses continue to advertise year after year.  A recent Communications Survey showed that The Footnote has an 90% readership, which means your advertising will be seen by our members.

Original Footnote articles are frequently reprinted in national and international publications. In 2004, The Footnote received the President's Award from the Midwest Society of Association Executives.

The Footnote's 32-page magazine-style format incorporates four-color printing on quality paper stock. Regular columns and special features make up the written content. Graphics and photographs are important elements in appealing to readers.

Advertising in The Footnote provides CresaPartners with an affordable way to reach corporate decision makers, and is a key part of marketing and branding our corporate real estate services.
