The magazine would we put our advert in and why

The first magazine we would want to advertise our artist in is NME - (New Music Express). This is because it is purely a music dedicated magazine and therefore, getting our artist in this magazine is likely to increase sales to Kate Nash's fans. NME mainly covers rock and indie artists, this means Kate Nash would fit into this magazine as some people would class her as an indie artist.   However there are draw backs to advertising in this magazine as the growth of music magazines is reaching maturity, with many readers going for magazines such as 'cosmopolitian' or 'more' that cover a wide variety of topics with a focus on an individual popular artist some weeks.  The audience of 'NME' itself is slightly older, and therefore not all of them may be interested in Kate Nash.

Therefore, another magazine we could advertise in is More magazine. There is not a dedicated magazine to pop music, however it does include individual artists with unique features such as interviews and quiz's the artist has filled out.  This means this magazine is more likely to be popular as it includes their lives as well as music, and saves the consumer money by having a variety of topics in a magazine instead of just basing it on purely music.  For women, this is often a preferred option, with a selection of magazines to choose from that include music features.  An example of the variety is more, cosmopolitan, and even vogue.  This shows how the artists can be selected through magazines for a particular demographic.

.This shows how a magazine such as Vogue will have a 

feature within it about Beyonce.  This picture shows the first page of the spread, with a picture of her the title and minimal writing, however the audience know there will be a feature about her due to her being on the front cover.  (Shown beneath).  Therefore, after doing this research we feel Kate Nash would benefit the most from being in a magazine such as cosmopolitan, a magazine that has a wide audience, with its most common target market being 17-25 year olds.  This will fit into Kate Nash's target market and consequently boost sales.
