IPC Media sells over 350 million magazines per year across various sections including entertainment and lifestyle. They own NME, one of the most famous music magazines in the UK. Bauer Media Group is a German company based in Hamburg that operates music magazines like Kerrang, Mojo, and Q in 15 countries worldwide. While the author is originally German and attracted to Bauer's success internationally, they note a disadvantage is that Bauer's music magazines are advertised towards men, which could make the company look sexist and not open-minded.

2.  Selling over 350 million copies per year
 IPC groups titles its groups in different sections
and therefore offers a huge variety from
entertainment to women’s lifestyle.
 IPC Media owns NME which is one of the most
famous music magazines.

3.  A German company based in Hamburg
 The company operates in 15 countries
 The music magazines provided by Bauer are
 Kerrang

 Q

4.  I personally would choose Bauer Media Group
as they have massive success as they operate in
15 countries world wide.
 Another reason is my connection to the
German company as my origin is German.
 They sell rock magazines already and are very
famous.

5.  A disadvantage is that all the music magazines
owned by Bauer are advertised as men’s
magazines. That makes the company look
sexist and male focused. My magazine is
supposed to look open minded and available to
everyone.
