Advertisements to be featured in magazine;

When considering which companies may wish to advertise in my magazine, I should also consider how this will appeal to the target audience. Due to the genre of my magazine, which is hip-hop, many songs in this genre include commercial brands which are mentioned throughout many different songs. One of these brands in particular is Gucci. Gucci clothing and accessories are worn by many artists within the genre and this would greatly influence listeners to want to buy this brand, therefore I believe that Gucci would be eager to advertise in a hip-hop magazine. I also believe that big car companies would wish to advertise such as Bentley and Mercedes. These types of cars are also featured in many aspects of the hip-hop community influencing fans of the genre to want to buy these cars. Perhaps different mens aftershave would be advertised such as Calvin Klein which seems to be a common feature amongst advertising in music magazines. Versace is another clothing brand which I believe would wish to advertise in my magzine. Like Gucci it is also mentioned in various different rap songs and therefore I believe they could influence the target audience and appeal to buyers of the magazine. I also believe that Rolex would want to advertise in my magazine as they are a flashy accessory worn by many artists in hip-hop.
