Evaluation - Institutions

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

The company that I have chosen that would produce and distribute my Magazine is a 'little known' company called 'Maker Media'. This is because the company focuses mainly on the indie side of their magazines. This will fit in well with my magazine as my magazine is also a representation of indie culture.

Maker magazine is very much new on the scene releasing its first issue in 2013. I believe Maker Media needs to produce more magazine brands as currently, they only produce and distribute maker magazine and being as their interest is indie, my magazine would be a perfect option for them to begin producing.

Being as Maker Magazine is set towards an older audience, my magazine would also be a good option for Maker Media as my magazines target audience is a lower age range. This would mean that if Maker Media began producing my magazine, they would be covering a larger age range.
Being my magazine covers a younger audience (15-25 year olds), my magazine would also be published online via my magazines own website, blogs, advertisements, social media and also sponsors. Taking my magazine online would be a good choice by Maker Media as my target audience is proven to be the age range that spends the largest amount of time online, whether it be social media, blogging etc.

Maker Media should also choose to distribute my magazine as my magazine is UK based whereas Maker Magazine is US based. Producing and distributing my magazine would mean Maker Media would be covering a wider range of audience in different regions of the world. This would be a step further in Maker Media becoming a very well known Magazine Producer.
