4) Who would be the audience for your media product?


This image represents the people I am targeting my magazine at; the post-hardcore scene. A demographic profile of my target audience is 16-25 years old, both genders, living in the UK, either single or in a relationship and their social status ranges from C, C1, D, and E. The psychographics of my target audience are either reformers; people who want to improve the world or individuals; people who are young, they are normally hard to classify.

People would buy my magazine because it is specifically produced for a certain type of genre of music. This genre of music is post-hardcore. Many people follow this type of music. Bands such as We Are The Ocean, A Day To Remember and Enter Shikari are post-hardcore bands therefore are going to attract lots of attention. If I include many well-known bands in my issues they will sell because people will want to know what these famous bands are going to be doing.

There will be many advertisements in my magazine but the products advertised in there will be aimed at the same target audience as my magazine. A good example of a product or company that may advertise in my magazine would be a clothing company such as Loud Clothing. They would advertise in my magazine because they aim to sell their goods to people who would buy my magazine. Another business that would most probably advertise in my magazine is one that sells music tickets for gigs and festivals. These include ticket master and last minute. Products such as food and drink mya not be advertised in my magazine as much because people buy the magazine for music and not to be bombarded with ads about food.
