ISPA member Revista El Papel is to now cover the markets of Uruguay and Paraguay.
The magazine, which is based in Ecuador, has until now covered the six Andean countries of Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela and Peru.
The expansion into the Uruguayan and Paraguayan markets comes with the opening of an office in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.
"We are really adding these two countries to our portfolio at the request of our advertisers who wanted to reach these markets," says publisher Ricardo Martino.
