IPC Media is a large UK-based magazine publisher that reaches over 25 million adults through its print and digital publications. It focuses on three core audiences: men, mass-market women, and upmarket women. The document proposes that while IPC would be experienced in producing niche magazines, their existing titles are not well-aligned with the proposed classical music magazine, as they tend to have a more modern aesthetic not suited to classical. Bauer Media is also considered but rejected for similar reasons - their existing rock music titles do not have the right classical theme. Both publishers feature prominent mastheads and engaging cover images, but IPC may be a better fit given its broader audience focus.
