What is Fangirl, and why do we need it?

Men

Women

• Game Informer, with a circulation of nearly 7 million worldwide, has a female readership of only 12 percent

• Survey data suggest our readership will be 92 percent female

• There are no pure competitors in the media industry for what Fangirl provides and what it hopes to achieve

Value Proposition

Fangirl is the only product that covers the breadth of fandom that we do.

Fangirl focuses on new media and experimental coverage as long as traditional media to drive consumers new and old.

As a women’s business enterprise, our product gains legitimacy as a publication for women.

This market is expanding remarkably and will continue to do so.
