How the advertisers and media types see us

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

All the magazines of Bauer Media (Formally Emap I think) can be found here. Some interesting bits include how the target audience is.

I found it interesting, but maybe I'm just being sad.

For example for Zoo it's:

The ZOO consumer is a young (16-24), single male, who sees himself as a bit of a Player. His life is dedicated to being the ultimate lad. He lives for the next party and the next girl. He certainly isn’t worried about the future and debts can definitely wait until later. He is a young man relatively unencumbered by thoughts of credit crunches or falling house prices.

For Performance Bikes it's:

Men aged between 35 and 55, average age 41. Most are experienced bikers, but 14% have been riding for less than five years. They work full time, but still find time to get out on their bikes for around two hours a day during the summer. Nearly half of Performance Bikes readers own more than one bike, highlighting their level of commitment, over half own a super sports bike.

Very specific.

Hi

The PB bit is interesting, as compared to their market in the late 1980s it seems to have changed dramatically (or maybe the market is the same people who have got older).

All the best

Apparently Practical Sportsbikes subscribers aren't dreamers, they are do-ers!

Sweeeet.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Bauer Media marketeers:

Entirely male, predominantly in the 35-55 bracket. Mostly divorced or claiming to become so as soon as the paperwork is finalised. Over two thirds sport a pony tail. Inclined to describe themselves as "a media go-to-guy", and overstate their income by 75-125%, especially to single women in the 18-25 bracket. 100% are cunts.
