1. What kind of media institution
might distribute your media
product and why?
2. Development Hell LTD
• Development Hell are an independent distributing company that are in charge
of distributing and editing one of the most popular Dance and Electro music
magazines on the market, MixMag.
• I have found many ideas from MixMag as it fits the style and also contains the
content that my music magazine provides. The company have helped get the
magazine recognised world wide and since 2009 have even begun to publish
‘MixMag Brazil’ focusing on how the genre of music is received to the population
and also helped organise promotional events for up and coming artists from the
country.
• Development Hell LTD may distribute my music magazine as it again focuses on
Dance music and would draw the same audience that congregate in prolific
numbers to own MixMag, with the success of MixMag the company has now also
published The Word also a music magazine, this possibly showing that they
want to gain a larger portfolio of music magazines under their belt so may relish
at the chance to add another, this further giving reason why I believe the
company would want to distribute my magazine.

4. Bauer Media
• Bauer Media may also be another distribution company that may take
interest in my magazine. One of the largest distribution companies in the
world, Bauer have many music magazines and also radio stations that they
help fund and magazines they publish.
• Bauer publish and distribute music magazines such as Kerrang!, Mojo and
Kiss and also edit and produce Television channels such as 4music and also
broadcast Radio stations such as Rock.FM these all being very successful
products in the market.
• I believe Bauer may be interested in distributing my music magazine as
even though they do publish many music magazines they do not have any
under the genre of Dance and Electro with main focus on Rock and Chart
Music. Therefore my magazine may fill a gap and give them a spectrum of
magazines that are all genres and attracting a wider audience with the
magazines they produce. Also the products that they publish are very
popular with the public and are very competitive with other magazines alike
on the market.
