Explanation:
"Siéntale el pulso a los eventos especiales..."

Creo que ya que exactamente la misma expresión existe en español, debería conservarse en lugar de explicarlo con otras palabras, ya que el texto no dice
"keep yourself informed" o ni siquiera "keep in touch" o "up to date".

La metáfora, al margen del gusto de cada uno, transmite también el sentido de estar al tanto no de cualquier cosa, sino de algo vivo, dinámico, etc. Si esa idea de actividad palpitante se pierde, desde el punto de vista publicitario no es bueno.

Copio ejemplos recientes tomados de Google:

"... mundial. Así, MSI puede sentirle el pulso al mercado mundial, y proveer
servicio ágil y sensible a sus distribuidores y clientes... "
(www.msimiami.com/NEW/spanish/sobre_msi.htm)

"... gran escándalo. El pulso al país. Tienen que sentirle el pulso a Venezuela"
(www.nodo50.org/antiescualidos/Portal/Secciones/ Articulos/ENERO/NOALPARO2-1-03/jesuita.htm)

Leí la discusión anterior a la que nos remitió Valentín (Gracias) y me sigue pareciendo lo mismo.
