2. 2015 MEDIA PACK
Rock Sound is the UK’s leading independent
source of new music for rock-loving millennials.
Across our media touch points, we present our
partners with a plethora of unique opportunities
to reach the vibrant, savvy and fast-moving new
music and youth lifestyle markets, ideal for
your messages whether you work in the music,
fashion, gaming, film or technology sectors.
In a hugely competitive market, Rock Sound
is the only title to achieve ABC audited sales
increases in each of the last two years (2013
and 2014). As the first to cover the likes of
Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon, My Chemical
Romance and hundreds more, the title boasts
an enviable record in leading rather than
following trends.
Fiercely independent, Rock Sound boasts an
unparalleled level of trust and credibility among
our audience. We have thrived for over 16 years
because we provide exactly what music fans want:
immediate and meaningful access to the best new
bands and the biggest names on the scene alike.

CASE STUDY:
CASE STUDY:
Having worked together for a number of years, Vans wanted to increase their affiliation with Rock
Sound’s music-adoring audience. Vans came onboard as Rock Sound’s festival coverage partner, thereby
achieving the brand valuable alignment with festival content while maximising their presence across all
the various media touch points of Rock Sound.
Rock Sound worked with Vauxhall in order to raise awareness
among touring bands of the car-manufacturer’s Vivaro model.
Rock Sound acquired the services of the popular Sony
Records act, Don Broco, to take the Vivaro out on tour. The
band then filmed branded interview content in the vehicle that
was hosted on Rocksound.tv and promoted through the social
media accounts of both the title and the band.
