1. (3) What kind of media institution might distribute your
product and why?
2. I researched media companies that distribute music magazines
such as Bauer Media, BBC, Time.Inc UK, Egmont and Immediate Media
co. and Champion Media Group. I have chosen to use Egmont that I
believe would be the best company to produce and distribute my
magazine.
3. This shows that Egmont have experience when selling
magazines to children and teenagers because it states that they
sell over one million copies every month in the UK. It also shows
it is a successful, well-known company because it is the UKs
leading children's publisher, for babies through to teens.
4. This shows that Egmont Media distributes magazines by age
groups. It mainly sells magazines to children Under 7 and Over 7
however it does sell We Love Pop which is a pop music magazine
aimed at female teens which means it can appeal to teenagers as
well as children.
5. CURRENT MAGAZINES THAT PRODUCE AND DISTRUBUTE:
6. Why Egmont would be perfect for Dynamix I chose this
distributor/company for my magazine because they currently sell
magazines for under 7s,7 and over and one teen magazine. The teen
magazine is We Love Pop. Therefore, it has experience when selling
pop genre music magazines. However, there current magazine We Love
Pop is aimed at females whereas my magazine is aimed at both
genders. Therefore, this will widen there target audience. I think
this distributor would be best for my magazine( Dynamix) because
although they distribute a pop magazine to teens already, they are
not aimed at the same target audience as my magazine. Therefore, my
magazine which is aimed for older teens would help increase the
type and amount of people the company appeal too. Also, this means
that it would widen the companies audience to a maximum age of 16
years old.
