Pitch
Kate Dow is pitching a new magazine called ROHO to the Northern Echo. ROHO would be a fashion and beauty magazine for teenage girls ages 16-21 in the North East of England. It would be financed through advertising revenue. The key aspects of ROHO include having varied local content beyond just fashion/beauty, using local models and businesses, and filling a gap for a magazine tailored specifically for teenage girls in the local area. Kate conducted research on the target audience and competition, and believes ROHO could be commercially viable and fill an existing need in the market.
