Evaluation Question 3 – What kind of media institution might distribute your product & why?


If my music magazine was going to be published, I would need to think about who would do the most efficient job and maximise the circulation and who would distribute it to my target audience.

The company that is best suited for this is Bauer Media Group. Bauer was founded in 1875 and has continuously grown into a multinational conglomerate. They publish over 200 magazines, which shows Bauer can distribute many magazines and would be able to publish mine. It also shows that they dominate the magazine marketplace. 

Bauer own many well known names like Q and Kerrang! as well as the film magazine Empire. These magazines have quite a bit of prestige so my own product would have its appeal drastically improve.
With Bauer being a multi-platform brand, they own many TV and radio stations which is crucial for gaining a wider audience and with the internet playing a crucial part of the modern world technophiles (mainly young adults) would be interested in online content.

The institution I would like to distribute my product is Frontline. Frontline is the major distributor in Europe so therefore it would be ideal for Frontline to distribute my product.

Frontline are a major business partner for Bauer as they distribute the majority of their magazines. The involvement of Frontline would be of major importance when it comes to distribution.
