We've spotted a gap in the rock music market, it's called "the rock music market" and we've noticed that rock music fans aren't getting the right access to the content they want, the way they want it, so we're changing that. Along with the recent acquisitions of Classic Rock & Metal Hammer magazines, the plan is to keep growing and delivering the content that you want, any time you want it.Based in the UK, the team behind Team Rock are both renowned and revered for their business acumen and media nuance. John Myers and Billy Anderson are also involved. To date, Team Rock has delivered media services for Live Nation and developed content solutions for our partners in India and around the world. However, it's what we are going to do next that's the exciting thing.

My choice

I have looked through all four of the institutions for different music magazines; I have decided that I would want to have IPC MEDIA LTD as my institution. The reasons why I have chosen this because it has the magazine genre I would want which is popular music and has different genres in NME. They are based in the UK which is good because I would want to concentrate preferably on UK music and artists. The other institutions do not appeal enough to me because they deal with music magazines with genres that I am not interested in or would want to produce a magazine about.
