Publishing Companies Part 2 - IPC Media
A quote from
the IPC Media website:
‘With more
than 60 iconic media brands, IPC creates content for multiple platforms, across
print, online, mobile, tablets and events. As the UK's leading consumer
magazine publisher we engage with 26m UK adults - almost two thirds of UK women
and 42% of UK men. Our award winning portfolio of websites reaches over 25
million users globally every month.’
The three
publishing divisions of IPC Media are: IPC Connect, IPC Inspire and IPC
Southbank.
However, IPC Connect may be better as it
targets the mass market’s women. Though IPC Southbank also targets women, I
wouldn’t publish my magazine with IPC Southbank as it targets upmarket women
whereas my magazine is targeted towards both teenage girls and boys.
This magazine publisher could be a bit too
sophisticated for my genre of music magazine.
Publishing Companies Part 1 - Bauer Media Group
A Quote from the Bauer website:
‘The Bauer
Media Group is one of the most successful media companies in the world. More
than 570 magazines, over 300 digital products, and 50 radio and TV stations
reach millions of people around the globe. The company’s portfolio also
includes printing companies, postal services and services in the fields of
distribution, marketing and media sales. The Group’s turnover is stable at more
than two billion euros. With a new global positioning strategy, the Bauer Media
Group underscores its passion for people and brands. The claim “We think
popular“ highlights the Bauer Media Group’s perception of itself as a publisher
of popular media and provides inspiration and motivation to its more than
11,000 employees in 16 countries’
‘With the
recent addition of the former Emap Consumer Media titles, Bauer is now the
largest consumer magazine publishing company in the UK, playing a primary role
in the Women’s Weeklies, Women’s Interest, Women’s Lifestyle, TV Listings,
Puzzles, Men’s Lifestyle, Music & Film and Specialist magazine markets.’
The Bauer Media Group publishes music
magazines such as Q and Kerrang! as well as lifestyle magazines such as That's
Life! and Take A Break.
Bauer could potentially be a good publisher
for my magazine, as it publishes music magazines with a similar genre and
target audience as my magazine. However,
this could work against my magazine as well as the company may see it as competition
for Kerrang!
Reader Profile
This is the reader profile for my magazine.
A reader profile is to show the typical social and economic characteristics of the reader of a magazine. It normally shows what types of things the reader is interested in. Such as, what the reader likes to buy, do in their spare time and what they think is important.
I took inspiration for my reader profile from the magazine NME.
