I could also choose these to publish my magazine as they do not publish any magazine based upon my chosen genre,
below is a screenshot of the brands they advertise and some of them are things
such as Bob the Builder which is a well-known TV programme, it is highly
popular for young children and is very successful, therefore this publishing
company must be of some high success if it is able to publish programmes as
popular as that. By also not publishing any RnB magazine already there is no
competition for them, the only competition would be magazines published by
other publishing companies.
