The MOJO READER
John is 37,a passionate and discerning individual who loves the good things in life.
A professional with high disposable income,music has soundtracked every major
event in his life so far and continues to define him.
A child of the‘70s,he just missed out on punk but admires its confrontational spirit which inspired the likes
of The Smiths and the‘80s indie rock that he listened to in his teenage years.Since then he has grown to
appreciate the classics (The Beatles,Stevie Wonder,Dylan,Bowie,Floyd,Zeppelin,The Clash,Kate Bush et al)
and continues to seek out the best in modern music,baulking at his daughter’s love of Glee and yet accepting
his son’s burgeoning interest in post-emo rock.A worldly-wise,well-read man,these days he is thrilled when he
hears new folk music or the latest African outpouring.
While he believes vinyl is the most authentic of music formats,he has become a heavy user of streaming
services which he plays via WiFi through wireless speakers.Listening to music through Spotify or Deezer
actually simply provides him with an excuse to buy more music that he’s heard.His iPod,iPad and iPhone are
all impressively loaded with everything from Motown to 60’s garage punk and on to the latest in bedroom
electronica.A heavy gig goer,these days he prefers the more‘boutique’festival experience of Latitude or
Green Man.Last year he‘discovered’rising British soul-folk star Michael Kiwanuka at the latter (this was a full
year before he was hailed as The Sound Of 2012 by Radio 1),and he recommended Michael’s album to a vast
number of work colleagues and friends.Friends are important to John and his partner,not least of all because
they allow him to indulge in his favourite past-time of showing off about music,something which he does
with great aplomb at every dinner party where the conversation turns from music to film to books to real life,
and back to music again.

reaching an unrivalled number of music fans in
the UK and worldwide.With a level of access to
artists that other magazines could only wish for,
MOJO lets you put your acts next to some of the
greats,both past and present.
l MOJO FOR CONSUMER ADVERTISERS…
MOJO’s level of authority creates a huge sense
of trust with its readers.This respect for the
brand extends to its advertisers and creates
trust and access to a traditionally difficult to
reach crowd of mature,cash rich and hard to
influence men.
l MOJO delivers a 58% ABC1
audience comparable with some of the
most premium brands in the market.Our
readers have serious buying power and are
better described as“investors”rather than
“consumers”.Once they discover quality they
will continue to invest in that product or brand.
l MOJO is a genuine influencer
– it ranked 4th in Bauer’s independently
commissioned“Anatomy of Influence”
research,weighing up the influence
magazines have on consumers across a
number of factors.This included beating titles
such as Uncut (8th),NME (18th) and even
GQ (20th).This shows just how much MOJO
readers respect and trust the high quality
editorial that the brand delivers day in,day out.

MOJO magazine readers are not only loyal and avid fans but they also respond fantastically to well
executed campaigns.In this case we met a brief from EMI to promote their new Beatles release in
a new and creative way.The end result was an exclusive event at Abbey Road chaired by some of
the foremost experts on the band,an advertorial post-event in the magazine and a competition at
www.mojo4music.com for a chance to win a seat at the event (limited to 50) and a huge boxset.
The competition asked readers to share their favourite hidden Beatles gems that were not included
in their well-known Red and Blue compilation albums.Not only did the competition draw in over
3,000 submissions in just 5 days,it also allowed readers to share some of their most intimate
experiences and give reasons as to why the tracks resonated with them.Tales of love,sadness,life
and death all came in,demonstrating how engaged MOJO readers are with the brand.
The campaign met all of EMI’s objectives and went above and beyond,leading to a delighted
client and several very happy competition winners.
