Hip-Hop The hip hop genre is very interesting and has someone messages and stories behind it

Target Audience:

Primary target audience – Hip-Hop listeners Male ages 15-21 Secondary target audience – non hip hop listeners aged 16-35 C2,D,E Income

Based on my survey I found out that most of the people that answered the questions were male and were at the age of 15-21 I also believe that most hip hop listeners are at that age and are influenced by the genre at that age so which is why I set my target age to 15-21 my secondary target audience it 16-35 whom are not hip hop listeners because I want to extend the bracket so I can get a huge circulation. The hip hop genre appeals to people with low income this is why I am appealing to people with the C2,D,E income

£4.50 This is affordable for people who are interesting into the hip hop genre.

Convergence: Social media Instagram, Facebook , Twitter, Youtube , Google plus

Magazines do not get noticed by getting noticed from the shelves therefore I have created a lot of social media links so it can be known

Feedback from primary research will act upon

My magazine will be more male dominated than woman dominated as the percentage of genders were more male. My magazine will be more target at teenagers and young adults as the people who answered the question were at that age bracket. The magazine will have the celebrity gossip, the new artists who are hot right now ,the current hip hop charters, the best clothes right now to wear in the hip hop genre and fashion advice.

My magazine was answered by my target audience with high amount responses because of this I wanted to inflict their ideas to make sure my magazine is best suited form them so base d on their advice I will make sure my magazine is best suited for them therefore I will act on their feedback.
