IPC Media • IPC Media is the UK's leading consumer magazine and digital publisher - IPC Media is a Time Warner Company. • It consists of three publishing divisions; IPC Connect (mass market women's division) , IPC Inspire (leisure brands - men's portfolio) and IPC Southbank (upmarket women’s division - fashion brands) • Sitting alongside the publishing divisions is IPC Advertising, which allows clients and agencies to purchase bespoke advertising solutions across all of our brands and across a variety of platforms, and Marketforce,the UK's leading news trade sales and distribution company. • Claims to reach 26 million people on print alone - almost two thirds of UK women and over 40% of UK men. • Website reaches 14 million a month. • Produces over 60 media brands.

Who would I choose to distribute my magazine? I think the media institute I would choose to distribute my magazine is IPC Media. This is because it distributes a large amount of female magazines and my target audience is mainly teenage girls/young adults. A lot of the magazines they already distribute have a pink or blue logo/name which matches and is similar to my colour scheme of purple and turquoise. They also have experience in the genre of music magazines from distributing NME, an extremely popular rock magazine. As my magazine is pop/rock this is similar to NME. IPC also distributes fashion magazine Marie Claire and to make my magazine different I’m including a fashion section in my magazine so IPC would be a good distributer for this reason too .
